wp-now: can't mount parent theme if it uses dispersed path

[wojtekn]

When we mount the parent theme in the theme mode, we expect it to be placed in the parent directory of the current theme directory. However, the 'Template' can be an absolute value, e.g., premium/my-child-premium-theme, and if it's the case, the wp-now can't find that theme.

Code reference:

playground-tools/packages/wp-now/src/wp-now.ts

Line 248 in ff5bde0

`${documentRoot}/wp-content/${directoryName}/${templateName}`

We've spotted it with @robertsreberski today.

Done is

• parent theme is automatically mounted if it's available, even if it uses a path that includes a subdirectory

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to run into this 😁

@danielbachhuber do i understand that correct that his issue is only there when you use the wp now theme only mode not when we use the whole wp folder? as i can not reproduce that with complet wp installs?

@lemanschik Correct, it's only a problem for theme mode.
