Not working with custom wp-content folder or ?

    Hi, folks
    been using this wonderful solution from you Automattic system-matics since Nov. and works find on most of our sites, except of course the one I’m working on setting up “right now.”

    It works fine with another WP install in a different folder on same site/domain even with https and mod_pagespeed, but the one thing DIFFERENT about this install is that the wp-content folder renamed to /assets/.

    so amp folder is, /site.ooo/wire/assets/plugins/amp/

    weird thing, even with all plugins disabled is that the post loads completely blank for post via /amp/

    like
    post-name-here/amp/ = blank with nothing at all.

    Using a popular theme from a theme foundry that knows what they are doing, and without any oddball stuff like Visual Composer or Rev Slider, etc.

    Wondering if there is any issue with plugin getting lost when not in the wp-content folder, and if so, anything I can hack for that in the plugin?

    THANKS!

    Yes, stupidly I need to go test this with
    a) default folder name
    b) default 2016 theme …

    will do so, and then update this thread. Doh.

    Okay, apparently even with the default twenty sixteen theme, by having my wp-content folder changed to /assets/ — the AMP plugin loads blank page.

    Will dig into plugin to see if I can hard code the plugin directory …

    Hi, okay I have *confirmed* the issue is that the AMP plugin will *not* work at all when the wp-content folder has been renamed, as I have done to /assets/ and there is reason I’ve done this, which isn’t relevant here, but obviously it would be nice to figure out how to work around this ?

    I have not yet opened up the plugin files to see if I can hack this element or hard code the /path/to/plugins since the plugin appears not to read the wp-config.php file for that (for shame!) ??

    I guess I might call this a bug, but you might not.

    It’s likely due to some custom validation we do to check the path of the template. It’s probably not matching up with what the WP_CONTENT_DIR is set to.

    Can you confirm that the value of WP_CONTENT_DIR is /site.ooo/wire/assets?

    Hi, Mohammad
    here is the element added to wp-config.php
    (currently removed to confirm the issue)

    I have confirmed plugin works as normal when wp-content folder not renamed, but when renamed (e.g., /assets), generates totally blank element with no content at all.

    define('WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME', '/assets');
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME);
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', WP_SITEURL . WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME);

    Path rewrite to /assets works for everything else including all themes, plugins, etc.

    experiencing this as well
