admin-bar-css not following codex

[brianbrown]

Hi!
I have noticed that when the path to the admin-bar-css is changed via define('TEMPLATEPATH') / define('STYLESHEETPATH') hook(s) it is not followed when generating .../wp-includes/css/admin-bar.min.css which looks for the file at the original location, ignoring any change(s).
Regards,

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

Could you share the Codex article you are referring to?

Just to clarify, the TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH constants are only used for locating files in the current theme, they indeed do not affect any other files like wp-includes/css/admin-bar.min.css.

These constants will be deprecated in WP 6.4 in favor of the template_directory and stylesheet_directory filters, see [56635] / #18298.

A search found translations of the old "Edit wp-config.php" Codex article, which mentioned these two constants among Additional Defined Constants "that can be defined, but probably shouldn't be."

I cannot edit the Thai version, but I probably could remove those two lines from other translations.

• ​an incomplete Slovak translation
• ​French
• ​Croatian
• ​Italian
• ​Brazilian Portuguese
• ​Russian
• ​Chinese

Also, the ​stylesheet directory function page has a downvoted user note that suggested using the STYLESHEETPATH constant.

The Codex might be fully replaced soon, but for now I removed those two lines from the Slovak, French, Croatian, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Chinese translation pages.

Thanks for making those changes @sabernhardt! I think this can be closed out.
