/plugins/ hardcoded in .php file

  • Hi,

    Great plugin! One little remark though.

    The location of the plugins folder is hardcoded in bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist.php to “/plugins/” inside the dynamically allocated WP_CONTENT_DIR. While this will probably work for most users, it won’t for people like me who like to move as much folders around as possible to increase security.

    For some time now, wp-config allows to move the plugins folder out of the content dir and even give it a totally different name using define(‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’) and define(‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’).

    You might want to update the code to allow for the location and name of the plugins folder to be read from the config. The plugin will throw an error and refuse to activate if it can’t find some of it’s files in the non-existing “plugins” folder.

    I solved this myself by just hardcoding my plugins location on line 32 of bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist.php but there are probably a lot of users out there who know how to edit the WordPress config but don’t know how to interpret PHP errors and solve then by looking through the plugin code.

    Okay. I may get some time to update this plugin soon. I’ll have a look at updating the line you have mentioned. Thanks for sending your fix back upstream.
