    Symlinks on VVV

    Trying to use outside symlinks in a WordPress environment can be a headache.

    If you are using VVV and want to create a symlink (for example, in order to have your plugins folder outside the Vagrant installation), the following is a way to do it.

    Go to your ./Vagrantfile and add the following code:

    if vagrant_version >= "1.3.0"
       config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ]
     else
       config.vm.synced_folder "/Users/path/to/your/plugins/folder/", "/srv/www/wordpress-one/wp-content/plugins", :owner => "www-data", :extra => 'dmode=775,fmode=774'
     end

    Details:

    • In the ./Vagrantfile you should use the param: config.vm.synced_folder
    • The first path should point to the folder where you want to keep your plugins
    • The second path should point to the Vagrant folder that has the plugins
