In many cases, `dirname( WP_CONTENT_DIR ) . '/wp-admin'` would give the correct path for the `wp-admin` directory. However, sites with a custom path set to `WP_CONTENT_DIR` will have a problem with the code like * ``` require_once( dirname( WP_CONTENT_DIR ) . '/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php' ); ``` * > There are plugins / people etc, that choose to rename their /wp-admin directory > tho. > Is that what you mean? * No. I’m not talking about cases that users manually edit core directory names. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Reliable way to Include files under the wp-admin directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-way-to-include-files-under-the-wp-admin-directory/) * Thread Starter [umchal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umchal/) * (@umchal) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-way-to-include-files-under-the-wp-admin-directory/#post-14730241) * Hello, * > At first guess, I would say that the WP_CONTENT_DIR is being stored as a CONSTANT, > so would render the right path whether it is custom or not. * It doesn’t mean `dirname( WP_CONTENT_DIR ) . '/wp-admin'` always gives the right path among sites with different path configurations. * Forum: [Developing with WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/) In reply to: [Reliable way to Include files under the wp-admin directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-way-to-include-files-under-the-wp-admin-directory/) * Thread Starter [umchal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umchal/) * (@umchal) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reliable-way-to-include-files-under-the-wp-admin-directory/#post-14729185) * Hello, * > Why are you trying to include files under the WordPress core? * If you want to use certain functions and classes such as `dbDelta()` and `WP_List_Table` defined in the files under the wp-admin directory in your plugin, you need to include them first.

I get an impression that it’s quite complicated as it seems the best workaround at the moment though.

It is what you mean by default? I might be missing something. * When you do this, * ``` $q = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'test' ) ); $q->request ``` * by default, the generated database query by WordPress is like this * ``` SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wptests_posts.ID FROM wptests_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wptests_posts.post_type = 'test' AND (wptests_posts.post_status = 'publish') ORDER BY wptests_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10 ``` * It does not handle the asked conditions like the `private` post status and `post_author`. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Misleading doc-block description for the current_time() $gmt parameter](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misleading-doc-block-description-for-the-current_time-gmt-parameter/) * Thread Starter [umchal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umchal/) * (@umchal) * [6 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/misleading-doc-block-description-for-the-current_time-gmt-parameter/#post-12232102) * Wait, `Greenwich Mean Time` might mean the time without any offsets.
