Where to save plugins for opengift wordpress install

I would like to download a custom install of openshift. I installed wordpress and cloned it via git. Now I would like to manually add some plugins and push them back to openshift. Where do I need to insert my extracted plugins / themes?

I appreciate your answers!

Short answer: save your plugins and themes in .openshift.

Longer answer: Every Openshift account has what can be thought of as a username - a long number like this: 53f1a90f500446c42053423083

Every directory structure has this number, so yours:

/var/lib/openshift/53f1a90f500446c42053423083/app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift

will be different from mine:

/var/lib/openshift/12345678901234567890123456/app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift

The number is included in the environment variables, so the scripts will work for you and in the mine alike. One of them is OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR. In your installation, it will point to:

/ var / Library / OpenShift / 53f1a90f500446c42053423083 / app root / runtime / repo

on my:



/ var / Library / OpenShift / + 12345678901234567890123456 / app root / runtime / repo

The other is OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR.

When pushing changes from a local directory via git, a deployment script is executed and it collects all the necessary wp files into a directory it calls:

OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR / current

Openshift moves the "original" wp files and theme folders that are created during wp installation to the OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR / current / wp-content file. It looks like OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR / .openshift for your code and copies to whatever plugins and themes folders it finds there.

The network effect is to build plugins and topic directories, adding yours to those that come with wp. So your fully assembled OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR / current will have in it:

OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR / current / wp-content

                                 /themes
                                 /plugins
                                 /uploads

So, whatever you entered .openshift will be copied to the correct location, but not changed. https://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example
