That file having to exist or your whole site breaks is also very frustrating. * Our CICD pipeline freshly builds sites using composer and wp-packagist. Fresh builds running the latest AIOWPS plugin immediately break with a 500 error because this file doesn’t exist until you access the UI, and you can’t access the UI because the site is broken. * I’ve had to manually include this file in the sites git repo and have it added during the build, which will cause issues if the file ever changes. * [annedatema](https://wordpress.org/support/users/annedatema/) * (@annedatema) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-542/page/2/#post-16252125) * Yes I have also an error 500 now because of this file aios-bootstrap.php, in our kubernetes cluster when the pods are scaled horizontal. The new pods will not have this file because it is not persistent. Can this file not just be in the plugin directory itself? Please consider alternatives of the location of this file.
