Custom plugin directory causing infinite loop

    When the default plugins directory is renamed the backup freezes on the dashboard with the backup file ever increasing in possibly an infinite loop.

    This can be replicated on a fresh WordPress install, with the following settings in wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_DIR’, $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-content/extensions’ );
    define( ‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’, ‘http://example.com/wp-content/extensions’);
    define( ‘PLUGINDIR’, $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-content/extensions’ );

    It would be great if you could look into this, as it would easily full the disk space of an account, possibly crashing the site.

    To confirm this isn’t a feature request but a major bug that would cause the backup to run infinitely until the diskspace limit is reached.

    It would be great if you would give this more consideration and provide a fix for future releases. Even if you do not wish to support this functionality, providing a warning or disabling backups if the plugin directory has been renamed would be a preferable option.

    Not sure why this was marked as resolved, as this is still an issue.
