Hi,

Although media_path is still listed as a helper function in the docs (https://octobercms.com/docs/services/helpers#method-media-path), it appears that the function is undefined. The error is resolved if I call other helper functions, such as storage_path.

Would appreciate confirmation on whether media_path was removed.

Yes, it has been removed. Can you give more information on where this method is used?

No problem, I was just confused as I was using it in my custom plugin.

No problem, this has been added to the upgrade guide. Thank you for pointing it out

Removed Helper Paths

The uploads_path() and media_path() global functions have been removed. These functions were found to be unreliable for use as system methods since objects can be stored using external providers and won't always exist on disk.

If your code relies on these functions, you may use a replacement as following.

// media_path()
storage_path(config('system.storage.media.folder', 'media'));

// uploads_path
storage_path(config('system.storage.uploads.folder', 'uploads'));
