Moving wp-content folder in WP 4.4.2

    I am trying to install a local instance of WP 4.4.2 with the wp-content folder moved into a separate directory. I have tried using the following code:

    /* Move /wp-content */
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/testsplit/data/wp-content/' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://localhost/testsplit/data/wp-content/' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/testsplit/data/wp-content/plugins/' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'http://localhost/testsplit/data/wp-content/plugins/' );
define( 'PLUGINDIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/testsplit/data/wp-content/plugins/' );

    I used this code on previous WP releases with no problem up through 4.2.5, but now that I’m trying to upgrade our internal site to 4.4.2, I can’t get it to work.

    Any ideas/suggestions? Has something changed in WP 4.4.2 that would block this from working? Maybe another file edit that I missed?
