This new filter allows overriding the VIP File System’s validation process for multisite setups, which uses the `/wp-content/mu-plugins/files/acl/ endpoint-check-file-acl.php` endpoint to check permissions for paths under `/ wp-content/uploads`. It enables custom use cases, such as accessing directories outside the default site asset paths (but within the uploads folder) while adhering to other ACL rules. This extends the functionality introduced in PR #1975. ** Warning:** Improper use of this filter could expose private data. Developers using it must ensure that the logic they implement enforces proper access control to prevent data leaks between subsites.

While search-replace now produces consistent results, this change introduced a side- effect: a site’s primary domain is replaced with it’s slugified version. **v3.9.3** addresses this issue and ensures the expected mapping should look like: `primary_domain` => `env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site` `convenience_domain` => `env_slug. vipdev.lndo.site``any_other_domain_or_subdomain => slugified_any_other_domain_or_subdomain. env_slug.vipdev.lndo.site` Paths are handled respectively as follows: `primary_domain/my/site/` => `env_slug. vipdev.lndo.site/my/site` 10 December 2024 21:04:41 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Staging] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-staging/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-staging/staging-release-2024-12-10/) ### Fixed * VIP Parse.ly: Fixed a fatal error that happened in certain conditions within the VIP Parse.ly plugin: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6016](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6016) * Jetpack: Correct version will display for non-pinned default loading in Plugins listing: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6043](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6043) * Mitigate paragraph block breakage wpcom-block-editor: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6047](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6047) --- ### Added * Displaying the source from where Jetpack is loaded from in Plugins list WP-Dashboard UI [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6046](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6046) 10 December 2024 17:58:59 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/production-release-2024-12-10/) ### Added * Enterprise Search: Add new filter ep_disable_query_logging: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030) * Displaying the source from where Jetpack is loaded from in Plugins list WP-Dashboard UI: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6046](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6046) ### Changed * Enterprise Search: Do not facet feed queries to prevent duplicate posts on display: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030) ### Fixed * VIP Parse.ly: Fixed a fatal error that happened in certain conditions within the VIP Parse.ly plugin: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6016](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6016) * Jetpack: Correct version will display for non-pinned default loading in Plugins listing: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6043](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6043) * Mitigate paragraph block breakage wpcom-block-editor: [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6047](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6047) --- Please see the [full release on GitHub](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/releases/tag/v20241210.0). 03 December 2024 20:22:48 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Staging] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-staging/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-staging/staging-release-2024-12-03/) ### Added * Enterprise Search: Add new filter ep_disable_query_logging ### Changed * Enterprise Search: Do not facet feed queries to prevent duplicate posts on display [https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6030) 03 December 2024 19:40:01 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/production-release-2024-12-03/) ### Fixed * Last changed date after dynamic bulk index: https://github.com/Automattic/vip- go-mu-plugins/pull/6015 ### Changed * Updated ElasticPress: https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/6018 --- Please see the [full release on GitHub](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/releases/tag/v20241203.0). 26 November 2024 20:38:34 GMT+0000 [ Infrastructure ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/infrastructure/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/infrastructure/mu-plugins-code-freeze/) ## MU-Plugins Code Freeze As we approach the end of the year, we will be implementing a **code freeze** for [MU-plugins](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins) on the VIP platform during the dates outlined below.
