Redux Framework and Symbolic Link

    I know from what I’ve seen this is a known issue – I was hoping someone has a solution / workaround.

    In an effort to reduce the amount of files on the server I have moved a number of my plugins to a “shared” folder and I’m using symbolic links to reference them.

    This is working GREAT, however there is 1 plugin which uses Redux Framework and while the plugin itself works, the “options” screen is broken due to path issues and I would love a way to fix it. – Fortunately the import settings work and once the plugin is set I never have to touch it.

    Thanks for anyone who can point me in the right direction

    Lead dev of Redux here.

    Because there’s no way in PHP to detect the expected path, you’re going to have to add your own add_filter accordingly.

    `
    self::$_url = apply_filters( “redux/_url”, self::$_url );
    self::$_dir = apply_filters( “redux/_dir”, self::$_dir );
    self::$_is_plugin = apply_filters( “redux/_is_plugin”, self::$_is_plugin );
    `

    Dovy – Thanks….I’m a bit lost – I was added what’s below but it didn’t work… if you could point me in the direction

    add_filter('redux/_url', 'ReduxSymLink',10,3);

 function ReduxSymLink(){
self::$_url = apply_filters( "redux/_url", self::$_url );
self::$_dir = apply_filters( "redux/_dir", self::$_dir );
self::$_is_plugin = apply_filters( "redux/_is_plugin", self::$_is_plugin );
 }

    add_filter(‘redux/_url’, ‘ReduxSymLink’,10,3);

    function ReduxSymLinkURL(){
     $url = "https://real.com/url/redux/";
     return $url;
 }

    You don’t need to set the $_is_plugin for this. ??

    Dovy –

    I know this should be obvious – but what file do I put this in? the theme functions.php

    The actual plugin file??

    Thank you soooooo much for your help and guidance with this.

    Dovy & Others who may find this post..

    1) Redux Framework 3.5.4.3 – WORKS FINE via a Symbolic Link with NO filters required
    2) In my issue, I had a plugin which is using Redux Framework for the Options Panel
    If I install BOTH Redux Framework AND the plugin (Admin Branding) via Symbolic Link

    it 100% works fine and I get the added benefit of having the updated version of Redux Framework this way

    The only downside is the slight additional number of files / disk space as I actually have Redux Framework twice (very small impact on system)
