WPVIP FileSystem

[lazardanlucian]

Hello, we are using wordpress vip hosting (hosted by automattic)
We are preparing to move to php74 and we were testing latest stable version of redux, 4.1.24

This version breaks compatibility with wpvips f.s. but redux 3.x works

In our local development this works ( because we have a normal file system )

if any of you intend to try to fix this, here is some documentation:
https://docs.wpvip.com/technical-references/vip-go-files-system/media-uploads/

From their documentation.

Because communication with the VIP File System happens over HTTP, high number of function calls
(e.g. lots of file_exists checks) can result in a performance hit and should be used with caution.

file_exists will always return true for extension-free values (e.g. directory names).

This sounds like directories under wp-content will return true even if they don't exist.

I'm still playing with it in my fork but nothing yet.

ANy update on this @lazardanlucian? If so, I would need to know specifically what block of code is giving you an issue. We have no way to test on the VIP filesystem, so it's all guesswork here.
