Short Answer: No A different question is: Will uploading a large number of files in WordPress affect performance? The answer to this: Most likely not. Reason: WordPress uses the DB to get a list of uploaded files (almost no difference for many files) FTP uses the filesystem (slower for many files) Details: WordPress does not … Read more
If the files are static HTML, then you only need to be concerned with name collisions for the directory structure. And if you don’t have anything in WordPress that generates /demo/subfolder/ you don’t have to worry about ignoring it – it’s already ignored. I have a sandbox folder that I use for a similar purpose … Read more
After these years I hope this will still answer your question… I think I’ve got the situation working you want. Allthough I don’t have the WordPress installation in ‘/subfolder/’, but I’ve a installation ‘in subdirectory’ per language, and on the same level: my-domain.com/nl/ -> this is primary installation, site id = 1 my-domain.com/en/ -> this … Read more
The procedure is thoroughly documented in Codex under Moving a Root install to its own directory. You misunderstand the point about changing URLs in it, and yes the terminology sucks. The only URLs that will change are those that are based on the “WP address”. That would be WordPress core, essentially the admin area. All … Read more
As I was getting at in comment: get_stylesheet_directory() produces local filesystem path get_stylesheet_directory_uri() produces URL Just use latter. 🙂
I came up with this solution. This function checks in each directory level starting from the directory of the current file for the file wp-config.php. <?php function find_wp_config_path() { $dir = dirname(__FILE__); do { if( file_exists($dir.”/wp-config.php”) ) { return $dir; } } while( $dir = realpath(“$dir/..”) ); return null; } ?> To actually include the … Read more
Updated plugin version available at GitHub. I first saw your Question at [wp-hackers] list, and, after implementing the solution, was about to publish a Q&A for that. Well, it’s already here, and has a bounty put on it 🙂 As Daniel Bachhuber points out in the thread: WordPress.com puts themes inside of subdirectories /wp-content/themes/public /wp-content/themes/premium … Read more
Best place is the uploads directory – it’ll be writable by the server, and it’s the defacto directory for storing any user-generated/uploaded files: $dirs = wp_upload_dir(); $path = $dirs[‘basedir’]; // /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
After digging around, I ended up with using upload_dir filter. Here is what I tried in functions.php to change uploads to media. Hope it can help someone too 🙂 add_filter(‘upload_dir’, function($uploads) { $custom = []; foreach ($uploads as $key => $value) { if ( false !== strpos($value, ‘/app/uploads’) ) { $custom[$key] = str_replace(‘/app/uploads’, ‘/app/media’, $value); … Read more
In short, there is no well defined convention for naming a theme’s directory, and all of the following are valid (among others): my_wordpress_theme my-wordpress-theme (empirically the most popular option within the ecosystem) MyWordPressTheme mywordpresstheme (what the default themes use) Details The WordPress PHP Coding Standards Handbook states that filenames should be all lowercase and hyphen-separated. … Read more
