Description

Just upgraded a production site to 3.4, and I noticed some errors on the admin screens related to the rewrites done in r20020.

The site is maintained by another designer in Dreamweaver, and has the usual _notes/dwsync.xml files strewn around - including, relevantly in the wp-content/themes/ directory.

After upgrading, on every page of the admin, I see the following warning:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/p25lh1ao/public_html/ati/wp-content/themes/_notes/dwsync.xml/style.css) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/p25lh1ao/public_html/ati/wp-includes/theme.php on line 386

I don't mind the error - it gives me a reason to wonder why Dreamweaver is still being used on a site that I've had under version control for a long time. But it seems like there should be some checking going on before searching for a style.css under every file in a directory. I'm not sure which would be faster, to simply mute errors, or check is_dir() on each of the $sub_dirs looped through (which could be either directories, as assumed, or any kind of file.

The attached patch fixed the issue for me.

I confirm this.
To reproduce this bug, it is necessary to have set at least one path as basedir. For me, the warning was only issued when visiting the page used for activating the themes.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to 3.4.1

The is_dir() check two lines up should simply be checking $sub_dir as well; they can be combined into one.

In [21126]:

When looking in a sub-directory of wp-content/themes for more themes, check
if that specific directory exists before looking inside of it for style.css.

This avoids warnings when open_basedir restrictions are in effect.

props goldenapples. see #20985 for trunk.
