Shortcode for site root URL

Use a shortcode to get the site root path for file uploads.

Overview

The user needed to reference the site's root path in a form, particularly for file upload functionality.
Use the {path:root} shortcode within the form to insert the correct server path.

Is there an available shortcode to return the site's root URL?

Hi Rick,

I don't think so - IIRC Max posted a PHP snippet to get this a few days ago . . . but I can't find it right now :-(

Thanks, Bob.

I am having a heck of a time with a simple form to upload a file to the server. Plugging away!!

{path:root}

Should add this to the shortcodes FAQ Bob. And {path:forward}, and if there are any other options🙂

Hi,

Done - see the FAQ here

Bob

NB these give the path not the URL - but it is the path you need for file uploads
