  • When using Groups File Access with WP in a trellis bedrock structure, we are needing to amend the wp_groups_file path field after every deploy

    When we deploy any changes to our WP installation, then the current release folder changes from for eg /srv/www/echamicrobiology.com/releases/20250114142147/web/app/uploads/groups-file-access to /srv/www/echamicrobiology.com/releases/20250114124233/web/app/uploads/groups-file-access This means we cannot then access the files unless we do an update in the database which isn’t convenient. Is there a way around this please?
