    I’m having some performance issues when using the GFA_File class to to grant file access for large numbers of files. My use case is granting groups access to educational courses.

    FYI – I made a small customization that I would appreciate if you could make part of your system so it won’t get overwritten in a patch: file: wp-content/plugins/groups-file-access/lib/views/class-gfa-shortcodes.php Around line 610: switch ( $options[’show’] ) { case ‘description’ : $output = $file->description; break; case ‘updated’ : $output = $file->updated; break;

    When we deploy any changes to our WP installation, then the current release folder changes from for eg /srv/www/echamicrobiology.com/releases/20250114142147/web/app/uploads/groups-file-access to /srv/www/echamicrobiology.com/releases/20250114124233/web/app/uploads/groups-file-access This means we cannot then access the files unless we do an update in the database which isn’t convenient. Is there a way around this please?
