Symlink to theme folder possible or editing php.ini? #65

Closed sthag closed 7 years ago

sthag commented 7 years ago

I tried to symlink a theme folder on windows but it does not show up in the wordpress theme selection. I did not expect it to but my question is, if this would be possible. That way I could develop my theme with a workflow which has folder structures like this somewhere else...

project
_build
_src

... and link the build folder into the wocker environment specifically the themes folder.

Hi @sthag,

I understand what you want to do, but unfortunately it is not possible.

The reason of this is: The original theme data are on your host machine (whindows) and maybe synced to the virtual machine if located in the data folder. However, they are not synced to the Wocker container because the container only mounts the wordpress folder.

Thanks for the explanation. I should have looked it up. You already answered a similar question some time ago. There is another circumstance I'm wondering about. You talked about editing the php.ini file in this issue some time ago. I tried the method using vi but it seems the linebreaking of the php.ini is not correctly displayed for me. I had a hard time trying to edit values but could not get it right. Is there another possibility to edit the php.ini file?

I managed to edit the file. So everything's fine for now :) Thank you.
