## Description

Redefines the location of the /mu-plugins directory, via writing constants to your
wp-config.php file, to ensure that no code published to the default location will
automatically run on your website.

Since many site administrators are not using /mu-plugins, we want to be sure that
no mu-plugins “suddenly” appear on our website due to their nature: auto-activation
is BAD when you didn’t intend for code to be there!

DisableMU is not for every website. Many development houses, system admins, and 
hosting companies have very legitimate uses for /mu-plugins and have built business
plans around utilizing this feature of WordPress. By installing and activating DisableMU
on your website, you may break things. Please exercise caution and only utilize 
this plugin if you know what you are doing. As with most plugins, DisableMU is written
with the intent of being helpful but you are responsible for its use or actions 
on your own website.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `disablemu` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory via FTP
 2. Alternatively, upload the `disablemu_v#.#.zip` file to the ‘Plugins->Add New’ page
    in your WordPress admin area
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

#### What other features will you add to this plugin?

Kicking around ideas, but always open to user input as well. Currently debating…

 1. Deletion of /mu-plugins directory, if found
 2. Creating cron to cycle the fake directory name (don’t want to do this too frequently
    though since it touches wp-config.php)

If you definitely want to see one of these, or have an idea of your own, let me 
know!

## Changelog

#### 1.1

 * Moved where definitions live inside wp-config.php, to ensure it is always ABOVE
   the wp-settings.php include
 * Updated CONST definitions to be proper directory/url paths instead of partials
 * Updated CONST definitions to remove the “if isDefined()” checks. We want to ensure
   that WE always take precedence.
