extras.php assumes WP installed in root?

    When clicking the Insert Document button in the post editor, I was getting a blank screen in the modal. The browser console was showing that it was getting an error trying to retrieve /?media-library=1. My (single, not MS) install exists in /documents, so this doesn’t work.

    I changed the path so that it matches my install (line 160 in extras.php), and it works. It’s only a temporary solution.

    Is this plugin supposed to be used on sites installed at root?

    Do you me WP is installed in its own folder but the site URL is in the root?

    No, WP is in /documents with the URL pointing to /documents. The only thing “special” about this setup is that it’s running on a non-standard port… site:8000/documents, but I wouldn’t think that’s causing this. Although it might be. I haven’t tested on another site.

    It could be the port. I haven’t tested it with any port other than 80/443.

    Hey Ron, I just tested this on another site without a custom port and the problem still happens there.

    Config is like this:

    URL
    http://local.dev/doc/

    WP installed in
    http://local.dev/doc/ – local file system is /var/www/local.dev/doc/

    Vanilla install with no other plugins activated.

    The modal comes up blank and logs show it’s requesting /?media-library=1.

    If I edit line 160 in extras.php and make it this:
    $url = RA_DOCUMENT_REPO_URL . '/doc/?media-library=1' . $domain_qs;

    the modal comes up fine and things work as they should.

    It looks like on line 29 the constant gets defined as ''. Can the built in site_url function be used on line 160 instead?

    You define RA_DOCUMENT_REPO_URL in your wp-config.php to have the correct URL.

    Yes, that works. Didn’t know if this was expected or what. Thanks.
