WordPress in a subdirectory

[nlemoine]

Hi,

I'm using WordPress in a subdirectory and I'm setting my own content, plugins, plugins-mu directories. Here's my folder structure:

|-www
 |---content
 |---plugins
 |---plugins-mu
 |---wp

Although Wordmove plays nicely with custom directories (with paths), it doesn't deal with WordPress in a subdirectory. From what I observed, it takes the WordPress path and adds the custom paths behind. I'm for example ending up with something like:

/my/path/to/project/www/wp/content/

instead of:

/my/path/to/project/www/content/

As I'm mostly using Wordmove for database migration, it's fine and I can deal with this "issue" by setting paths like:

content: "../content"

But it would be nice that Wordmove considers content, plugins, uploads, etc. folders as not necessarily contained by wordpress directory (e.g. sometimes absolute content path isn't wordpress absolute path + content relative path). Maybe by detecting absolute path in paths?

+1 This is a good idea to have WordPress core in subdirectory. Specially if your are using version control like git.

+1 From me also. Would be great to have support for this.

+1. @nlemoine I have a similar setup. (I used Mark Jaquith's WP-Skeleton to add Wordpress as a Git submodule.)

When I try your method above like this:

  paths: # you can customize wordpress internal paths
    wp_content: "../content"
    uploads: "../content/uploads"
    plugins: "../content/plugins"
    themes: "../content/themes"

The directory it looks for is:

 :/home/jasonlmann/wwf.kinggin.com/wp/../content/themes
rsync: Failed to exec sshpass: No such file or directory (2)

Were you able to get this to work?

[nlemoine]

@jasonlmann, sure, it should work this way.

/home/jasonlmann/wwf.kinggin.com/wp/../content/themes
equals
/home/jasonlmann/wwf.kinggin.com/content/themes

Are you certain that the directory exists?

I'm having a similar issue when trying to pull DB from remote to local vvv install:

I have WP installed on a remote server in a subdirectory called "wp"

So the path to wp-content on remote is:

httpdocs/wp/wp-content

Without setting anything other than the Wordpress path for the remote server in the movefile:

production:
  vhost: "http://mywebsite.com"
  wordpress_path: "/httpdocs/wp/" 

..all plugin, theme, and upload files pulled fine into my vvv setup!

BUT pulling the database throws an error:

`open_http': 404 Not Found (OpenURI::HTTPError)

...because it's looking for the dump file on remote in the wrong place... (disregarding the wp subdirectory). Here's the full error (real paths are changed for this post):

vagrant@vvv:/srv/www/mysite$ wordmove pull -e production -v -d

The problem is here:

local | download http://mysite.com/wp-content/dump.php...

How come it doesn't look for the dump download in the right place on remote?
Like I said before, no problems with plugins, theme, or uploads, and it seems to know where to CREATE the dump on the remote in the first place.

Thanks for any help with this!

@onlyskyguy, as I have commented on #228, I had same situation. You can achieve pull -d by setting movefile like:

production:
vhost: "http://mywebsite.com/wp"
wordpress_path: "/httpdocs/wp"

And add the following( or your local domain ) to wp-config.php to force setting wp_home option:

define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://mywebsite.com' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://mywebsite.com/wp' );

We consider this resolved. Add these instructions to documentation.

Hi,
I'm having a similar setup and can't get it to work.

a wordpress core push is working perfectly fine

wordmove push -e staging -w

but none of the wp-content pushes are working.
e.g.:

wordmove push -e staging -u

gives me:

but in my content/uploads are some files

pushing DB gives me this error:

last but not least:
