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
I ended up solving it by completely bypassing the wp upload system, so this is how it looks now: /* * Define new upload paths */ $uploadfolder = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/exames’; // Determine the server path to upload files $uploadurl = content_url() . ‘/exames/’; // Determine the absolute url to upload files define(RM_UPLOADDIR, $uploadfolder); define(RM_UPLOADURL, … Read more
How does WordPress determine “the main plugin file” ? It is the file in your plugin that contains the plugin header comment /** * Plugin Name: A fresh example * Plugin URI: http://example.com * Description: Foo makes a bar * Version: 2012-06-14.1426 * Author: John Doe * Author URI: http://example.com * TextDomain: your_textdomain * License: … Read more
If the plugin structure is: plugins/ some-plugin/ some-plugin.php data/ GeoIP.dat then for PHP 5.3.0+, you could try the magic constant __DIR__ __DIR__ The directory of the file. If used inside an include, the directory of the included file is returned. This is equivalent to dirname(__FILE__). This directory name does not have a trailing slash unless … Read more
How Page Templates are loaded: According to the default WordPress Template Hierarchy, a page request loads a template based on the priority and naming as stated below: Custom Page Template: if defined in the page editor. page-{slug}.php page-{url-encoded-slug}.php: only for multi-byte characters. page-{id}.php page.php singular.php index.php Among these, singular.php and index.php are not actually page … Read more
My best guess would be: if ( ! is_file( $dir = WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/pluginb/pluginb.php’ ) ) { if ( ! is_file( $dir = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/pluginb/pluginb.php’ ) ) $dir = null; } return $dir; However, the danger here is still the assumption of the plugin’s “basename” – a well written plugin will still function even … Read more
<img src=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri().’/images/sample.png’; ?>”> Try this. It should work. You have to concatenate the results from get_template_directory_uri() and your images directory in echo.
This depends on how the theme was developed from the beginning. Theoretically, if everything was coded to standards you can rename the folder and nothing bad will happen. When renaming the folder you are at risk of breaking code that asks specifically for files from the theme directory by name. WordPress offers a number of … Read more
