Change cache folder wp-content in URL

I am able to change the cache folder with the below code.

define(‘AUTOPTIMIZE_CACHE_CHILD_DIR’,’/theme/’);
define(‘AUTOPTIMIZE_CACHEFILE_PREFIX’,’theme_’);

However the URL still includes the “wp-content” folder
https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-content/theme/js/theme_single_ab002cc40f47376ce093d6c386877780.js

Is there a way to change the wp-content folder to the defined uploads folder? I have the below as my defined uploads directory

define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘media’ );

So I would rather have the defined uploads directory than wp-content like below:
https://www.mywebsite.com/media/theme/js/theme_single_ab002cc40f47376ce093d6c386877780.js

Or if there is a way to have it without the defined uploads folder “media” as below:
https://www.mywebsite.com/theme/js/theme_single_ab002cc40f47376ce093d6c386877780.js

If its possible what should the permissions be set at for the custom folder?

I do not like having any reference to WordPress on my website if possible.

Please let me know if its possible.

Thank you for a fantastic plugin!

there are plugins like “hide my wp” that automate the hiding, but you could also rename wp-content, see https://wpsecurityninja.com/replace-or-rename-wp-content-folder/ ?

Is there a way to use the defined uploads directory instead?
define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘media’ );

So I would rather have the defined uploads directory than wp-content like below:
https://www.mywebsite.com/media/theme/js/theme_single_ab002cc40f47376ce093d6c386877780.js

All the urls on my site are from the https://www.mywebsite.com/media/ directory so since your combining all my js and css it would be a simpler solution.

Not sure to be honest, no out-of-the-box solution, but might work with some PHP coding?

Thanks for your reply. If you can think of something please let me know. This would be a nice option for your plugin. I do not like exposing my site as WordPress nor its common directory structure. I really like your plugin because it consolidates the JS and CSS of the plugins which hides the common plugin directory structure. The only issue is the wp-content folder.

A simple check box on your plugin to use the defined uploads directory would be a great addition to your plugin. Or some other method to use another root directory.

I have that plugin. But really dont need it with your plugin since it rewrites the js and css and I have a custom uploads directory.
