Fatal error with symlinked wp-content folder

Hi there,

Before to start, I want to let you know I’ve read your sticky topic. I wanted to share the solution with everyone in the same wordpress customization than me.

In my website, I use a custom wp-content folder (named “whatever”) and my real wp-content folder is stored in a shared repository. More of that, I use a custom CMS path.
I’ve set this configuration because I have a load balancer with 2 or 3 frontends and a single medias folder.

To be clear:
– WP CONTENT: https://mydomain/whatever/
– WP ADMIN: https://mydomain/cms/
– DOC ROOT: /path/to/wordpress (where folders cms and whatever are)
– SHARED DOC ROOT: /sharedpath/to/wordpress (where folders wp-admin and wp-content are)

In that specific case, when I use Shortpixel bulk and specific optimization tool, I’m facing a PHP error 500: copy(/path/to/wordpress/cms/sharedpath/to/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/16/myimage.webp): failed to open stream: No such file or directory. from the file class/model/file_model.php line 180.

To solve this issue quickly, I’ve had to add the following line 165:
$destinationPath = str_replace('/path/to/wordpress/cms', '', $destinationPath);

Could you please make a real fix for this?

Best regards,
