The recent changes regarding moving to native system packages seems to have move some of the folders around a bit for WordPress. Indeed there are now 2 WordPress folders:

• /opt/bitnami/wordpress
• /bitnami/wordpress/

There is a shortcut/symlink between /opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content and /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content. This works great normally, but a fair few plugins are getting messed up poaths when looking for files. For example when looking for their own plugin assets they are getting the following URLs:

example.com/wp-content/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/{plugin-name}/path/to/file.jss
File could obviously be anything: .css, .png, etc.

The obvious fix is to just remove one of the folders, e.g. remove the symlink and move the entire “/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content” directory into the “/opt/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content” location. However I thionk that bitnami has separated these for a reason? what would be the implications of doing this?

Removing the symlink and moving the wp-content folder does NOT work out of the box. Further work was required, and I wasn’t prepared to go down that rabbit-hole.

Instead the problem was already solved elsewhere, the fix was to manually set these properties in the wp-config.php

define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/bitnami/wordpress/wp-content');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://example.com/wp-content');
