CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Whatever CMS you are using, the paths for CiviCRM customisations can be found through the UI at Administer > System Settings > Directories.   

It is only for "custom code ... in the form of CMS native modules" that you will need to look elsewhere. (ie for where Drupal modules or WordPress plugins or a Joomla! extensions are stored). 

Also, the documentation is maintained by volunteers (like me).  So WordPress or Joomla! users need to contribute if they feel the documentation is lacking in detail for their CMS.   

Is that the only place you can point to where Drupal and/or Joomla examples are given but Wordpress is left out?

This particular quote from the wiki is actually a bit misleading. I edited it to be:

Copy any custom code from the original site including the custom templates, custom reports, hooks etc. that you will find in your "Custom PHP Path Directory" and "Custom Templates" path–these paths you can find in CiviCRM via the "Administer – System Settings – Directories" page. Alternatively, if some of your custom code is in the form of CMS native modules then this custom code may be outside those CiviCRM folders. For example for Drupal this may often be found in <Drupal base>/sites/all/modules/custom/<yourcustomcmodule>.

The point is that generally speaking, most sites do not have custom code that needs to be moved specially.

databell, for your situation, I would suggest you skip this step and post a fresh thread if you have any other problems. This one seems to have moved to a new topic sort of.
