Hi @renehermi

Thank you for your detailed feedback and sorry for my late response.

I’ll make my ticket as soon as possible, but to clear the misunderstandings:
In this case, Bedrock was just an example. My WordPress Structure is currently way more simple than Bedrock, the content and core are just separated (according to wp-config.php standards), so that the wp-config.php file is outside of wordpress core folder. Nothing special.

As you said:

We already support many custom structures

This is a custom structure, yes, but the most basic one, which is supported by standard WordPress. This is my root:

content (wp-content files folder)
cms (wordpress core files folder)
wp-config.php
.htaccess
index.php
robots.txt

So I really don’t have anything special here. And if the WordPress recognizes its own content, so should Plugin, or am I being wrong? It just needs to target files outside of core.

In my experience, with wp staging and other plugins, users have the biggest and most problems when they decide to change the WordPress folder structure. This should be no blaming instead of just highlighting a fact.

Yes you are absolutely right.

I’m curious, from developer to developer: what is the reason for changing the default WordPress structure? Serious question!

One of the reasons is keeping wp-config.php outside of core (security reasons – this topic can be complicated) and clean structure. (Not talking about Bedrock).

EDIT: One of the reasons for for Bedrock is composer, because there are some plugins that are not reachable through default WP installations (Timber in future). On top of that: easier git versioning and modern development structure and environment for the fast local development (Not talking about Trellis).

Honestly, I’m also not the fan of breaking the WordPress structure, but some projects are too complicated to keep the WordPress same as it is and as a developer who strives to learn new and modern technologies, WordPress may be the break, which stops the learning curve.

But at the end, im just and employee who wants to solve the problem and thats why I’m here 🙂
