Description

While having a custom wp-content directory and wanting to set up multisite in Network Setup, there is a warning that "Subdirectory networks may not be fully compatible with custom wp-content directories." It looks very inconvenient, because having WordPress and content in different places simplifies the deployment process. And if you already have content in a custom directory, you may want to go multisite any time, and then you have a problem.

@oglekler
Subdirectory multisite networks are currently not fully compatible with custom wp-content directories due to core assumptions tying content URLs to site paths. This limits modern deployment setups and discourages best practices such as separating application and content layers.
