Migration broke File Away

Flywheel has a very different setup with their WP sites than any other host. Here is a fix for now:

Open up wp-content/plugins/file-away/lib/cls/class.fileaway_definitions.php

insert this line at line 137:

$ABSPATH = '/www/';

That creates a variable called $ABSPATH and hard codes it to your actual document root there on Flywheel.

Then change every instance of ABSPATH (which is WordPress’s constant for your wp install directory) to $ABSPATH (which is our custom variable) on the subsequent two lines:

$installpath = str_replace('\\','/',$ABSPATH);
$rootpath = str_replace('\\','/',($install ? substr_replace($ABSPATH, '', strrpos($ABSPATH, $install), strlen($install)) : $ABSPATH));

Save and you should be good.

Also don’t forget to go to your File Away settings page and hit Save Settings just as an added measure in case your url changed somehow. Even if the URL is correct, hit save settings anyway. Always recommended after a migration.

Thom, Thank you so much! It appears to have worked!

Is there a reason that we don’t add a $ to ABSPATH on the subsequent line that immediately follows the two lines above you had me change?

$chosenpath = str_replace('\\','/',($this->options['rootdirectory'] === 'siteurl' ? $rootpath : ABSPATH));

Thanks again, your help is very much appreciated.

Upon further testing, I am unable to get the uploading feature to work.

I get this message below the displayed Flywheel Directory (on the page where the upload shortcode is):

—————
File Up Admin Notice: The initial directory specified does not exist:
/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/executive-files
—————

That does exist. I can see it when viewing the Directory via File Away on the same page.

The directory view does work. No problems creating a directory or deleting it (results reflected when checking via FTP).

Any ideas on what it could be?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hah! I went ahead and changed the 3rd subsequent line ABSPATH to $ABSPATH:

from:
$chosenpath = str_replace('\\','/',($this->options['rootdirectory'] === 'siteurl' ? $rootpath : ABSPATH));

to:
$chosenpath = str_replace('\\','/',($this->options['rootdirectory'] === 'siteurl' ? $rootpath : $ABSPATH));

And it worked!

Thank you so much. Donated to your daughter’s food fund!

Also had the same issue and it resolved after following escap0’s augmented instructions. Thanks to all for the assistance. I hope this is able to be fixed for future versions of the plugin so it doesn’t break again every time it’s updated.
