Changing WordPress from 2 parts to 3 components #7

Closed mikeschinkel closed 7 years ago

Not to be overly anal, but I believe it is more correct to say WordPress site is comprised of three main pieces: Code, Assets and DB instead of grouping the first two, especially for backup.

Depending on the host's target customer, they may be better off not backing up WordPress core every time, and code can typically be backed up via Git-based version control but assets should not be backed up that way.

I didn't modify the rest of the document to that effect, but if we change to three components that will be more possible later.

Thanks @mikeschinkel - I'm in favor of this change. We'll just need to be clear that assets means media files (wp-content/uploads) as I've seen people get confused and think "files" means code related items.

@ataylorme Yes, media, stuff in wp-content/uploads.
