After Changing the wp-content Path, Some Plugins Are Not Functioning Properly

Clear all cache

If you have a cache plugin or use server caching, clear all the cache, as the change of paths has significantly changed the website’s structure.

Run a Frontend Test

Go to WP Ghost > Change Paths, click the Frontend Test button and follow the server configuration instructions, if any.

Check path configuration

Review the custom wp-content path you’ve set to ensure no typos or errors are causing the issue.

Revert changes

Temporarily revert to the original wp-content path settings to determine if the path change is the cause of the issue.

Plugin compatibility

Deactivate the other plugins and check if the website works correctly. If it works, activate the other plugins one by one to identify the one that is not working correctly with the custom wp-content path.

Test with the default theme

Switch to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty-Twenty-Five) to check if your custom theme is causing the issue.

Plugin settings

Review the settings of any specific plugin that may be causing the issue, as some might need adjustments after changing the wp-content path.

However, the root cause is often server configuration, especially if the rewrite rules haven’t been correctly applied. It’s essential to follow the instructions in WP Ghost according to your server type and ensure proper configuration.
