Description

In wp-load.php, when searching for wp-config.php in the parent directory, we abort if wp-settings.php is also in the parent directory. The reason isn't super clear.

  • Keywords has-patch added

Patch adds the following docs to explain:

/*
 * Only get wp-config.php from the parent directory
 * if wp-settings.php is not also in the parent directory, to
 * avoid cases where the current directory is a nested
 * installation, e.g. / is WordPressA and /blog/ is WordPressB.
