Why not set cache dir automatically in multisite?

    First of all thanks for this great plugin! I really like it.

    I was just wondering why the plugin doesn’t automatically set the cache dir for subsites in a multisite network. This is not just an inconvenience but also a security issue since one admin of a subsite can simply set any directory in the wp-content and override things in other sites.

    Maybe this could be done with a conditional. If multisite is enabled, prepend subsite path to the OMGF_CACHE_PATH. Or something like this.

    Or do you have any other reason in mind why it’s necessary to save fonts outside of this directory?

    Thanks!

    Hi @tobiasfeistmantl,

    Sorry for never getting back to you. It’s been a crazy few weeks/months.

    Thanks for your suggestion, though. How would I go about detecting what the subsite path would be? Btw, it shouldn’t be a URL, but a System Path.

    Hi @daanvandenbergh,

    With a simple if statement. Something like this:

    $omgf_cache_dir = '/uploads/sites/omgf';

if ( is_multisite() ) {
	$omgf_cache_dir = '/uploads/sites/'. get_current_blog_id() . '/omgf';
}

define( 'OMGF_CACHE_PATH', esc_attr( get_option( OMGF_Admin_Settings::OMGF_BASIC_SETTING_CACHE_PATH ) ) ?: $omgf_cache_dir );

    I’m not sure if this is the right constant to modify but I think I get the point across.

    Well, that looks way easier than I thought it’d be. Thanks a lot, I’ll add it to my todo list.

    That’d be awesome. It’s on my todo list, but I’m in the middle of moving into a new house. So I can’t give an ETA ATM.

    Hi Daan,

    how about removing the possibility on multisites for placing files outside the corresponding uploads directory at all? It’s in my opinion a security concern.
