 * Hello,
 * I am getting started with WordPress on a very large website and I would like 
   to know what would be the best way to organize a WordPress site on multiple environments.
 * I have experience working in such an architecture, but not with WP, unfortunately.
   I really enjoy working that way because it gives me a better control over what
   is being released and it can improve the overall security to a point.
 * So I was thinking about going with something like this:
    - Development (Local, using Git with Bitbucket to work from multiple places)
    - Versions (I would create an incrementing folder each time, also considered
      the beta stage)
    - Live (Symlink that would point to the last version of the site after reviewing
      it in the beta stage)
 * I was thinking about making the /wp-content/uploads/ a symlink pointing to another
   folder at the root of the website so that the different environments could share
   the images and videos…
 * However, I am not entirely sure if such an architecture would be the best for
   a WordPress site, so I am seeking out some advice if anyone has experienced working
   with rather large websites on WordPress.
 * Thanks!
