Hello Toolset Team,

We have changed the upload path for files to wp-content/bewerbungsunterlagen. The files are being saved in the correct folder as intended. However, we would like to prevent these files from appearing in the WordPress media library.
we used this code:
function custom_upload_dir($uploads) {

// Pruefen, ob ein Post ID gesetzt ist
if (isset($_REQUEST['post_type'])) {
$post_type = $_REQUEST['post_type'];

// Debugging: Post Type pruefen
error_log('Detected Post Type: ' . $post_type);

if ($post_type == 'bewerbung') {
error_log('Custom upload_dir for bewerbungen is running.');

$custom_dir = WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/bewerbungsunterlagen';
$custom_url = content_url('/bewerbungsunterlagen');

// pruefen, ob das Verzeichnis existiert, und erstellen, wenn nicht
if (!file_exists($custom_dir)) {
mkdir($custom_dir, 0755, true);
}

$uploads['path'] = $custom_dir;
$uploads['subdir'] = ''; // Kein Unterverzeichnis
$uploads['basedir'] = $custom_dir;
$uploads['baseurl'] = $custom_url;
$uploads['url'] = $custom_url;
}
}

return $uploads;
}
add_filter('upload_dir', 'custom_upload_dir', 101, 2);

Could you please assist us in achieving this?

Best regards,
KlausB
