Bug with paths when using WP under Git

    Hi

    I’m using WordPress and WooCommerce with Git. WordPress is configured as a submodule and I have slightly different directories for wp-content.

    Since this migration, I’m unable to view a PDF invoice from the Order page. When I click the link, I receive the following error:

    Template not found! Check if the following file exists:
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/templates/pdf/Simple/invoice.php

    The file does exist, but it exists under a different path:

    ./website2017/content/plugins/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips/templates/pdf/Simple/invoice.php

    It seems that it doesn’t work as expected when using a custom WP_CONTENT_DIR in wp-config.php. Here’s my wp-config.php:

            define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/cms');
        define('WP_HOME',    'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '');
        define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/content');
        define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/content');
        define('UPLOADS', '../uploads');

    Thanks in advance

    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    Not sure what’s going on here. The plugin doesn’t specifically use wp-content at all, it stores a path relative to ABSPATH. Here’s the process:

    • When opening the settings page, it scans the plugin folder + /templates/pdf/ and the theme+child theme folder for custom templates. It lists these in the dropdown, by default this will be just “Simple”.
    • When you save the settings, it stores the path relative to ABSPATH of that template
    • When you create the PDF, it reads the settings (relative template path) and prepends ABSPATH to it.

    The only thing I can think of would be that you have moved to another site which doesn’t use wp-content, in which case you will need to select the correct folder on the settings page, save the settings and you should be fine. If that’s not the case, I don’t have an explanation for why this is not working.

    Is this on Apache or IIS?

    Let me know if the above helps to solve this issue!

    Hi Ewout,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I’m using Apache. I can confirm that saving settings for the plugin fixed the issue.
