Plugin looking for folder in wrong folder.

Open jnor opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

Hi, I noticed the plugin "Nggallery" is looking for a folder called "gallery" in wp-content inside the wordpress installation, rather than the site specific wp-content folder. Is it correct accessing the admin panel through my-site.loc/wordpress/wp-admin ?

I'm new to wordpress development and might be missing something

I haven't looked at the code for that plugin, but if it hard codes the content or plugins directory, it will have problems when WordPress is installed in a subdirectory within the site url.

The dashboard is accessed through /wordpress/wp-admin, though in some cases, it will forward you to the right place from /wp-admin.

Thanks for answering! The plugin uses the constant ABSPATH defined in wordpress wp-load.php eg. /home/jn/www/lala/wp-sites/wordpress/ thus it will look the wrong place! Do you know any way to work around this? For now I'm just symlinking the gallery folder

I believe you have 2 options:

  • Rewrite the plugin
  • Use a different one (or the built in media galleries)

But I am surprised that nextgen gallery doesn't support wordpress in a subdirectory, being a pretty popular plugin. Maybe there is something else going on.
