symlinks directory not accessible now

  • I’m using this plugin for a very long time. I’ve recently updated the plugin to latest version, but the symlinks directories stopped working after the update. I could not access the files in those directories after the update.
    The symlinks files were accessible and working till v3.3.3. but doesn’t work for any version after v3.3.3.

    Symlink support won’t directly be returning, however, if you define / as the root accessible directory it may work under some circumstances – I haven’t directly tested that, but it may work.

    To do that, add define( 'ADD_FROM_SERVER', '/' ); to your wp-config.php file above the “Please stop editing!” comment.

    Hmm…okay, I’m not sure if this is the same issue that I’ve experienced, but here’s what I was trying to achieve.

    Wordpress is in /home/<user>/public_html/
    I have images in /bigbird/plexMedia/Photos/ which is naturally outside of the user’s folder structure and outside of the apache public_html structure.

    I mv’d the wordpress /uploads folder to uploads.bak, then symlinked /uploads to the /bigbird/plexMedia/Photos/ folder.

    When I use the plugin to browse for the files I want to add from server, I can see the /uploads folder, but the moment I double click it, the plugin reverts to /home/<user> rather than displaying the files in the symlinked location.

    Is this the same issue that you’ve addressed here or have I attempted something completely different?
