Changing the server path

Question

We have a WordPress multisite set up and working fine, but now the owner wants to change the server path to a different name. Will WordPress be able to automatically continue working with the new server pathname, or is there something we need to configure?

Answer 1

WordPress doesn't rely on server path, it relies on the URI. When the WordPress code is loaded, it will define the proper paths itself dynamically by using PHP constants like __FILE__, such as ABSPATH which is the absolute path to the WordPress's installation.

So, as long as your domain remains the same, you should not experience any problem.
