Hello,

Customizing my theme I was wondering where should I put my images for the theme (not the articles).
By default it goes to upload media folder with the year month segmentation.
Isn’t it better to put them by ftp in the theme folder like Newspaper/images/something? Will it survive an update of the theme?

Regards,

Hello lafber,

You can upload them in Media Library because all of these will be uploaded into your database and you will not lose them to a future update. Also, you can make a new folder via FTP way where you can add your desired images.

Thanks.

Ok thank you.
And what do you recommend?

What I feel weird about putting them in Media is that they end in a folder with YYYY/MM which seem inappropriate for core design elements and also scattered.

Hello lafber,

Load all of your images you want to use on your website in the Media Library.

Thanks for the message!
