Title: Exclude folder on different domain sharing same database Last modified: February 2, 2024 --- # Exclude folder on different domain sharing same database * Resolved [suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) * (@suryamaya) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/) * Hi there, * We have website abc.com and there another few sites (mysite1.com, mysite2.com) that share the same database as abc.com. When I activated the plugin it works on abc.com but not on mysite1.com, mysite2.com. All the sites are on the same hosting and within the same account. * I tried “webpc_supported_source_directory” filter adding the directory where those sites are. abc.com is in public_html and other sites are in different directory say mysite1 and mysite2. But the filter didn’t work. Is there a way to exclude the images of mysite1.com and mysite2.com?

Please be advised that the same database is shared between all three sites. Basically if webP works for other two sites “ mysite1.com, mysite2.com” that would be great. Please advise if that is possible. However if that is not possible the folders that I would like to exclude are as listed below:1. public_html/mysite1/wp-content/uploads2. public_html/mysite2/ wp-content/uploadsThanks * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17398070) * [@suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) By default, in the case of WordPress Multisite, we have the same directory for all sites. We have one /wp-content directory and one WordPress root directory. * However, in the /wp-content/uploads/ directory we are divided into directories for different sites. That’s why I asked you to provide real paths, not examples. * Thread Starter [suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) * (@suryamaya) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17407752) * Hi [@mateuszgbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * Here are site links: Main site: [https://cruise-croatia.com.au/](https://cruise-croatia.com.au/) Sites that share the same database: [https://cruise-croatia-and-beyond.co.nz/](https://cruise-croatia-and-beyond.co.nz/) [https://cruise-croatia-and-beyond.co.uk/](https://cruise-croatia-and-beyond.co.uk/) Does this help? * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17408883) * [@suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) Our plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite, but in my opinion this is not a Multisite Network. By default, image URLs at Multisite have the following URL: `/wp-content/uploads/ sites/1/2024/04/example-image.png` * Your URLs look like this: `/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/example-image.png` * Please describe to me in detail how your websites are connected to each other from a technical point of view.

The two of the later sites share the database from the main site. The NZ an UK sites are in one folder and main site in one folder. Hope this helps.

Not sure if your exclusion feature works on this case. Please advise. * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17411053) * [@suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) I have never tested such a case. You can just check it out. If you exclude a directory, after saving the changes it will disappear from the Bulk Optimization of Images section. * Thread Starter [suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) * (@suryamaya) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17411057) * [@mateuszgbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) Sure I will try. You have provided the example of the image. Can we exclude the folder as well like the uploads/2024? * Plugin Author [Mateusz Gbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/) * (@mateuszgbiorczyk) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-folder-on-different-domain-sharing-same-database/#post-17411063) * [@suryamaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suryamaya/) In the Advanced Settings tab you can exclude directories, or you can use the filter below to be more specific: * ``` add_filter( 'webpc_supported_source_directory', function( bool $status, string $directory_name, string $server_path ): bool { $excluded_directories = [ 'my-directory' ]; if ( in_array( $directory_name, $excluded_directories ) ) { return false; } return $status; }, 10, 3 ); ``` * Please note the `$server_path` variable – you can modify this filter code to use this variable.
