SYNOWORDPRESS and WP Activity plug-in

[Dax]

Installing the WP Activity plug-in on a SYNO version of Wordpress (3.2.1 or 3.3) BREAKS Wordpress!

After much head-scratching, I have tracked this down (I think) to the custom implementation of get_home_path() function, used in wp-admin\includes\file.php (line 84).

By switching off the SYNO customisations - commenting out the following line (82 in my installation) in wp-config.php, the plug-in now appears to be working...

Code: Select all

define('SYNOWORDPRESS', 'Synology Inc.');

to

Code: Select all

/* define('SYNOWORDPRESS', 'Synology Inc.'); */

... but what are the other consequences/risks of doing this? Anyone know?

For info - this was the response from Synology Developer:

If the user's "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)" are difference.
Our custom implementation of get_home_path() would try to find home absolute path according by difference between "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)". Otherwise would run function that wordpress had defined.

If your "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)" domain name are difference may caught somethings wrong.
We will add filter next version to avoid run this function if "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)" have difference domain name.
