Direct media library upload saving in wrong month date folder in custom theme

I have an issue in my custom theme.

Direct media library upload saving in wrong month date folder (2017/03) when current date is 2018/09. But when I upload images through post it goes to the correct folder.

I have tested in default theme, Direct media library upload goes to the correct folder. So the issue is in my custom theme. But I am not sure where to look at. In which file of my theme has the issue? Help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've found that in Settings > Media > Files upload > Save files uploaded in this folder: there's a URL that is not the default (wp-content/uploads). Check this if it can help.


The issue you're having may be related to an issue in Wordpress core that appears to affect a number of plugins. For context, see this GiveWP plugin discussion and issue. In my experience, media uploaded from within a specific post is not affected.

Currently it looks like your options are a) tolerate the incorrect month/date, b) identify and remove the affected plugin/theme or c) update the plugin/theme to avoid using the_post.
