Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Easy Symlinks
A symbolic link (symlink) is a file that points to another file or directory. It acts as a shortcut, allowing you to access files from a different location without duplicating them.
The Target is the relative path to an existing directory (e.g., ./uploads/cache). The Link is the path where the symlink will be created (e.g., /wp-content/cache).
Pantheon Test and Live environments have read-only filesystems. Symlinks can only be created in Dev or Multidev environments with SFTP connection mode enabled.
Yes, the plugin works on any hosting environment where the filesystem is writable. The Pantheon-specific features (environment detection, connection mode display) will simply not appear.
The symlinks themselves remain on the filesystem. Deactivating the plugin only removes the admin interface — the actual symlinks are not deleted.
Presets auto-detect installed plugins that are known to need symlinks on Pantheon. The Presets tab shows detected plugins with their required symlink paths and lets you apply them with a single click. Currently supported: Wordfence, WP Rocket, Big File Uploads, WP-Optimize, Divi Theme.
Yes. Go to Settings > Easy Symlinks > Settings tab and check "Delete data on uninstall." When the plugin is deleted, all saved options will be removed from the database.
No. This plugin only tracks symlinks that were created through its own interface. Symlinks created via the command line or filesystem are not tracked or displayed.
