Where WordPress Posts, Pictures & Videos Are Stored

Wp content

Modified On Nov 10, 2022 By Isaac

As a new blogger using WordPress, you may be wondering where your posts and images are stored. If you are familiar with Cpanel, you would still be contemplating whether it is file manager or PHPMyAdmin that posts are saved.

On the other hand, many new bloggers wonder if their pictures and videos are saved in wp-admin since that is where media is uploaded. There is a little sense in this. After all, you login to your wp-admin, add new posts, click on add media and upload images to my posts.

Now, you don’t need to feel bad if you are not sure of the location of your posts, images, music, theme and plugins in WordPress. I will show you where they are stored…

Note that this article assumes that you are familiar with WordPress terms like wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes, file manager, database, and PHPMyAdmin. This article is just to point out where files are stored in WordPress. I will explain all the WordPress files and folders in another article.
