Is there a way to transfer only the plugins and themes from one wordpress installation to another?
You need to copy entire wp-content folder.

WPBakery Page Builder plugin directory is: wp-content/plugins/js_composer
The normal location for plugins are wp-content/plugins. I guess you can find your plugin files in wp-content/plugins/pluginname
I want to install custom theme on wordpress, but have some errors while uploading it. now i want to reinstall wordpress from Cpanel file manager, will my plugins be deleted?
Your Theme and Plugins are stored within the wp-content folder, which is 'inside' WordPress. So, yes, deleting WordPress would delete your Plugins and Themes.
Solution:
Download Filezilla.
Head over to httpdocs > wp-content folder, where you should see two folders entitled plugins and themes.
Drag these folders over to your Desktop (or wherever suits you). What you are doing here, is creating a backup of your Theme and Plugins.
Go ahead and reinstall WordPress (To make a clean install, obviously remove all reference of WordPress and create a new MySql Database)
Once completed, simply access your website via Filezilla again. Head back into httpdocs > wp-content and drag back over the your plugins and themes folder.
By following the above, you can delete WordPress, without losing your Theme files or Plugins.
I have wordpress installed on the root of my website (say example.com/), but there is a folder of the website that i want to directly build in php/html not controlled by wordpress - basically I want it to be its own separate entity, but with the url being example.com/folder/, so it sits under wordpress in the url hierarchy, but is completely independant... Is that possible? I have done some research but cant find a solution or any reference to this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Just make the folder in the root directory of the wordpress install. Any files inside of that folder that does not declare the wp-load.php file will not be controlled by wordpress.
I have a multisite installation and i want create a plugins and uploads directory for every site , is it possible to change site plugin and uploads path from wp_options ?
The problem is, that a multisiteis supposed to only use one directory for uploads and one for plugins. Thats the purpose of it.
However, you can install the plugin plugin organizer. With that you can use plugins individually for each page.
If you need own plugins and upload directories I suggest that you make one wordpress site for each site instead of a multisite
I would like to upload a custom installation of openshift. I have installed wordpress and cloned it via git. Now I would like to add manually some plugins and push it back to openshift. Where do I have to put in my extracted plugins/themes?
I appreciate your answers!
Short answer: store your plugins and themes in .openshift.
Longer answer:
Every Openshift account has what can be thought of as a username - a long number like this:
53f1a90f500446c42053423083
Each directory structure features this number so yours:
/var/lib/openshift/53f1a90f500446c42053423083/app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift
will be different to mine:
/var/lib/openshift/12345678901234567890123456/app-root/runtime/repo/.openshift
The number gets incorporated into environment variables so that scripts will work on yours and mine equally. One of these is OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR. On your install it will point to:
/var/lib/openshift/53f1a90f500446c42053423083/app-root/runtime/repo
on mine:
/var/lib/openshift/12345678901234567890123456/app-root/runtime/repo
Another is OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR.
When you push changes from your local directory via git, the deploy script is run and it assembles all the wp files it needs into a directory it names:
OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/current
Openshift moves the 'original' wp plugins and themes folders that are created during a wp install into the OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/current/wp-content. It looks in OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/.openshift for your code and copies in any plugins and themes folders it finds there.
Net effect is to assemble the plugins and themes directories by adding yours to those that came with wp. So, your fully-assembled OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/current will have these in it:
OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/current/wp-content
/themes
/plugins
/uploads
So, anything you put in .openshift will be copied to the right place, but not altered.https://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example
