So I would like to allow the user to customize the css for my plugin, but if a user creates a css file and then places it in my plugin directory, the file gets deleted the next time plugin is updated because its not part of the plugin files.

How do I flag a user added file or sub-dir/file in my plugin folder so it does not get deleted?

Thanks

  • You can't store files in the plugin directory. You don't even know if you have write access there. Use the uploads directory only, you can create custom directories there. – fuxia ♦ Commented Mar 20, 2020 at 5:07

Always use the upload directory to store files, nothing else. There are two reasons:

  1. Plugin directories are replaced on plugin updates, so your custom files will be deleted.
  2. The upload directory is the only one where you can expect write access. For example, I'm updating my plugins via composer, and there is no write access to that directory before and after that task.

Here is a simple illustration how that might work:

$uploads = wp_get_upload_dir();

if ( $uploads['error'] ) {
    // something is very wrong, stop messing here
}
else {
    $my_dirname = 'your_plugin_name';
    $full_path  = $uploads['basedir') . "/$my_dirname";

    if ( ! is_dir( $full_path ) {
        if ( ! mkdir( $full_path ) ) {
            // handle the case when you can't create a directory
        }           
    }
}

Now your upload directory path is $uploads['basedir') . "/$my_dirname", and your URL is $uploads['baseurl') . "/$my_dirname".

See the wp_get_upload_dir() documentation.
