Why “Store uploads in this folder” option is not showing in Media Settings in WordPress

by

I have two sites running WordPress 4.9.8

On one site I can see “Store uploads in this folder” option on in Media Settings

enter image description here

On another site I cannot see “Store uploads in this folder” option in Media Settings

enter image description here

I am admin on both sites. Why it happens? How to make it visible on both sites? Thank you

While the other answers cover part of the answer (old WP install), it is important to note: The options appear, if one of the options is set. They are stored via the keys upload_path and upload_url_path.

Before:

enter image description here

Run (or add directly in the DB)

$ wp option set upload_path foo
$ wp option set upload_url_path bar

After:

enter image description here

As has been mentioned, these options are deprecated and shouldn’t be used anymore.
