Plugin creates lots of PHP error log messages for cron job

Hiya Chetna,

Here’s the full code, in which I have modified only the first line:

if ( ! file_exists( $wp_load = untrailingslashit( ABSPATH ) . "/wp-load.php" ) ) {
    $wp_load = false;
    $dir     = __FILE__;
    while( '/' != ( $dir = dirname( $dir ) ) ) {
        if( file_exists( $wp_load = "{$dir}/wp-load.php" ) ) {
            break;
        }
    }
}
require_once $wp_load;

It should check for the ABSPATH location first, and if it returns false, it then checks in other folders.

With Roots’ Bedrock, they put WP files in a /path/to/website/web/wp/ folder (all other files like uploads, themes and plugins are in the /path/to/website/web/app/ folder), however I’ve modified mine to have WP files in the /path/to/website/web/cms/ folder. Either way, for Root’s Bedrock the ABSPATH points to the folder which contains all the WP CMS files.

For my server, the wp-load.php file is within the WP CMS folder located at /home/exampleuser/example.com/web/cms/wp-load.php. This means that when your original cron script runs, it can’t find the wp-load.php file because it’s going up from a directory that is separate to the WP CMS files, i.e. /home/exampleuser/example.com/web/app/plugins/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/. The cron script produces errors with a path that specifies /home/wp-load.php.
