Would like to move the cache directory

  • My site is laid out as below. Would it be possible to move the cache directory to htdocs/content/cache? Having it in the wordpress/wp-content directory is a problem because that directory is a git submodule and I’d like to keep it pristine.

    FYI, I used the yeoman generator-wordpress NPM package to create the site.

    `/srv/www/sitename/htdocs

    It does not work I guess

    I have the layout of the site defined in wp-config.php as follows. Why can’t wp-fastest-cache use it?

    /**
    * Set custom paths
    *
    * These are required because wordpress is installed in a subdirectory.
    */
    if (!defined(‘WP_SITEURL’)) {
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://’ . $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . ‘/wordpress’);
    }
    if (!defined(‘WP_HOME’)) {
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://’ . $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . ”);
    }
    if (!defined(‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’)) {
    define(‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/content’);
    }
    if (!defined(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’)) {
    define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘https://’ . $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . ‘/content’);
    }
    if (!defined(‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’)) {
    define(‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘https://’ . $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’] . ‘/content/plugins’);
    }
    if (!defined(‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’)) {
    define(‘WP_CONTENT_DIR’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/content/plugins’);
    }

    Can you change line 83 in wpFastestCache.php to use the defined content directory location instead of the default?

    protected function getWpContentDir(){
    return ABSPATH.”wp-content”; <– this is the problem, right?
    }

    you detected the right line. Did you try to use WP_CONTENT_DIR instead of ABSPATH.”wp-content”? If it works, I can modify it.

    I don’t know what the reason is, but the codex says plugins shouldn’t use constants. I couldn’t figure out what to use instead. All of the functions I saw are for determining the URL, not the file path.

    WordPress makes use of the following constants when determining the path to the content and plugin directories. These should not be used directly by plugins or themes, but are listed here for completeness.
