If you add this in the functions.php file in your themes folder:
add_filter('upload_dir', 'new_upload_dir');
function new_upload_dir( $param ){
$mydir="/wp-content/uploads";
$param['path'] = $param['path'] . $mydir;
$param['url'] = $param['url'] . $mydir;
error_log("path={$param['path']}");
error_log("url={$param['url']}");
error_log("subdir={$param['subdir']}");
error_log("basedir={$param['basedir']}");
error_log("baseurl={$param['baseurl']}");
error_log("error={$param['error']}");
return $param;
}
It should change the directory the images are uploaded into.
