Where Does WordPress Store Images on Your Site?

WordPress store images in the /wp-content/uploads/ directory on your web server. By default, WordPress creates subdirectories within the uploads directory to organize your images by year and month. For example, if you upload an image in January 2023, it will be stored in the /wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ directory.

You can change the location where WordPress stores images by going to Settings > Media in your WordPress dashboard. Under the Store uploads in this folder setting, enter the desired location for your images.

Note that if you change the location where WordPress stores images, you will need to update the paths to your images in any posts or pages that use them.

Here are some additional details about where WordPress stores images:

• WordPress stores images in the .htaccess file to prevent unauthorized access.
• WordPress creates thumbnails of your images and stores them in the /wp-content/uploads/thumb/ directory.
• WordPress stores information about your images in the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables in your database.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
