[wp-hackers] Using symlinks in WP installations

[Otto]

Also be aware that lots of plugins make poor assumptions concerning
the location of files, and will thus just not work for no obvious
reason. Plugins that do things like "include
'../../../wp-config.php';" and similar, for example. Or plugins that
try to save things directly into the wp-content directory. And so
forth.
