Hi Fahad Whenever we need to specify folder location it need to be set in config file. As there are chances of movement of files from one location other due many concerns. Now in your case you already using Database to store images path & location has been changed. Now what you can do here is first specify new location in config file. Write a few line of code fetching image name from database & prepare image path by concatenating image name & path from config file.
