# content directory

 *  Resolved [icc97](https://wordpress.org/support/users/icc97/)
 * (@icc97)
 * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-directory-1/)
 * I’m using the [WordPress Skeleton](https://github.com/markjaquith/WordPress-Skeleton)
   setup which uses a custom content directory using the `WP_CONTENT_DIR` and the`
   WP_CONTENT_URL` constants.
 * This plugin does not pick these up. Even after modifying the ‘Watch paths for
   images’ in the configuration page (wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wprxr), 
   the .htaccess still contains wp-config:
 *     ```
       # Adaptive Images
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
   
       # Watch directories:
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /wp-content/uploads/
   
       RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images/ai-main.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       # END Adaptive Images
       ```

 * Hi, there,
 * Thanks for pointing that out! I will check it right away.
 * Also, the new version is coming right up, and I will try to put the fix in it
   as well!

 * Awesome, thanks! It might be difficult to handle as the constants I’m using aren’t
   just text:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/content' );
       if (empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) || $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'off') {
       	$protocol = 'http';
       } else {
       	$protocol = 'https';
       }
   
       define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', $protocol . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/content' );
       ```

 * It is kinda tricky but if you set the actual directory in the watched directories
   then the plugin should work regardless of the WP_CONTENT_DIR or WP_CONTENT_URL
   constant. So the bug is probably where the settings are saved! However, the new
   version, has completely rewritten the settings page to be more user friendly,
   without the need for PHP code and be -cross my fingers- bug-free…

 * Hi, there! Any news? We have committed version 0.3.5 now which has many more 
   debugging features. If you get a chance maybe you can check it out…

 * Hi [@nevma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nevma/),
 * Sorry for the delay. Thank you for trying to fix this! It is certainly closer,
   but it doesn’t look like it has quite worked though.
 * My `.htaccess` after re-saving the settings:
 *     ```
       # Watched directories
           RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /wp/content/uploads [OR]
           RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /wp/content/themes
   
           # Redirect images through the adaptive images script
           RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|png)$ /content/plugins/adaptive-images/adaptive-images/ai-main.php [L]
       ```
   
 * This is my directory structure:
 *     ```
       httpdocs
        - content (custom wp-content directory)
        - wp (wordpress)
       ```
   
 * It figures out that I have WordPress in a subdirectory called `wp`, and figures
   out the I’ve renamed `wp-content` to `content`. However it still thinks that `
   content` is under `wp`.

 * Here’s the debug info if that helps:
 *     ```
       ✔ PHP GD library is installed.
   
       ✔ Image cache directory has been created.
   
           /var/www/vhosts/ia.klever.co.uk/httpdocs/content/cache/adaptive-images => drwxr-xr-x
   
       ✔ Installation .htaccess file is setup OK.
   
           /var/www/vhosts/ia.klever.co.uk/httpdocs/.htaccess => -rw-r--r--

 * In `adaptive-images-actions.php` line 123 you guess the base directory based 
   on where wp-admin is:
 *     ```
       $request_base_dir = substr( $request_uri, 0, strpos( $request_uri, '/wp-admin', 1 ) );
       ```
   
 * But my watched ‘content’ directory lies outside wp.

 * My hacky attempt at a work around using `../content/uploads` doesn’t work as 
   you strip out the `..`

 * Hello there, thank you for being so thorough and even going through the code!
 * Yes, I see what the problem is now. I am going to try to find a workaround in
   the way this path is calculated and get back to you…

 * I strip the “..” from the path so that one may not ascend to other directories
   of the system, either maliciously or by mistake. 🙁

   test installatin for this and get back to you as soon as possible.

 * So far I can confirm that your use case is not compatible with the plugin. We
   will try to fix it in the near future.
 * It seems that moving the /wp-content to a new place does not make much of a difference
   after all. It is more of a convenience. So this is a relief, because one could
   simply move it back into the WordPress installation folder.
 * But I am not asking this from you! 🙂
 * I will keep you posted on any updates.
