[RESOLVED] PLEASE STOP HARDCODING WP-CONTENT!!!

ClarusDignus

wp-content is hard-coded into the Demo files.

This is broadly known by all WordPress developers to be very poor practice:
[Links visible only for registered users]
[Links visible only for registered users] (see #24)

This means that the demo installations break on any website that has wp-content renamed or moved for security purposes.

Please fix this issue retrospectively and going forward. I submitted this issue as feature request for a separate matter 5 months ago but received no acknowledgment:

As an interim solution, I need to manually change the paths of all demo images but naturally, it would be better to not have to do this at all.

Thanks for an otherwise great theme. :-)

Hmm, if the demo installer relies on XML data, you may not have a means of dynamically fetching the name of the content directory.

Perhaps a footnote in the official documentation is the way to go.

Hi,

this is unfortunately not possible to do this and there is a reason why all most popular themes got this directory hardcoded. If this won't be made like this, most things like styles and other elements won't work.

Thanks for understanding!
