The « calculated-fields-form-bk » directory

    Hi there,

    Running a « git status » I just discovered « calculated-fields-form-bk » directory.
    It’s created by your plugin :
    wp-content/plugins/calculated-fields-form/inc/cpcff_install_uninstall.inc.php:24: private static $bk_directory = 'calculated-fields-form-bk';

    It seems to be used only for settings backup.
    It contains only a .htacess to deny from all and JSON files like wp_cp_calculated_fields_form_settings_2024_08_05_14_38_42_66b0e3f2266f71.75870190.json
    and I guess « bk » stands for backups.

    My question is, why is this backup folder created inside « wp-content/plugins/ » ?
    In my humble opinion it’s quite out of place here and something like « wp-content/backups » seems more suitable.

    For people like me tracking files with Git and deploying with Capistrano to multiple environments, it’s quite a surprise to discover this directory that shouldn’t be neither tracked nor deployed.

    Regards,
    Charles
