Whatever (files, images or videos) you’ve uploaded s into a self-hosted wordpress, the link path into those files is not pretty. It’ll look like this (in my case): http://fatihsyuhud.com/wp-content/uploads/year/month/image.jpg

From esthetical and SEO perspective, this kind of link is not good. The good one should be like this: http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/images.jpg or http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/video.avi or http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/cpns_deplu.pdf, etc

Fortunately, you can easily change that not-SEO friendly link into the one which is not only pretty but also would help you optimize it in the search result pages.

Here’s how:

1. After login, click SETTING -> MiSCELLANEOUS.

2. In the “Store uploads in this folder” -> delete “wp-content/uploads” and change it into “downloads”

3. Unchecked the “Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders”

4. Click -> Save Changes. Done.

Now you have a pretty uploaded URL path. Your uploaded file from now on will look like: http://fatihsyuhud.com/downloads/files.pdf, etc..

See the live demo here. (look at the link path URL)

Notes:

1. You may change the word “downloads” into whatever names you want. WordPress.com uses “files” instead of “downloads”.

2. If you’ve uploaded some images before this change, don’t worry. The previous url address will not change. It will change only the future uploaded links.

It’s been a long while that the intention and willingness to call it a day emerged. What I need was a momentum to start afresh the whole thing. Includng to begin leaving the “chain-smoker” label behind.

And when the moment came, I took it with both hand. Now, it’s the seventh day I live without any cigarette smokes filling my lung. Some friends amazed, surprised and shocked. But it’s just natural to go from one extreme to another if you’re determined to do so. Nothing is impossible.

So, to quit smoking is simple insofar as I am concerned. First, you got to have a serious intention and willingness to change a particular habit. Second, pick the most important moment of your lives to start with e.g. the birth of your most awaited son, your birthday, etc. Third, be consistent. Never try to fool your self by “Hey, it’s ok to try just once a day.” When you decide to stop smoking, it means stop it altogether never try it even once. Period.
