change folder name for interface-wpml-log.php

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is attempting to change the folder name for interface-wpml-log.php located in the 'logs' folder within the classes directory. This is because many servers exclude logs folders from backups, causing the file not to be restored.
Solution:
We advise against changing the folder name for interface-wpml-log.php due to potential conflicts or fatal errors. Changing the folder name would require updates to multiple files, specifically the following autoloader files:

wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/composer/autoload_static.php

and

wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php

The current folder path is

wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/logging/interface-wpml-log.php

.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

carlosL-34	Background of the issue: I am trying to change the folder name for interface-wpml-log.php. On the classes folder, there is a 'logs' folder with interface-wpml-log.php. Many servers exclude logs folders for backups, so this folder is excluded and the file is not restored. That folder should have a different name to avoid this inconvenience. Symptoms: No specific issues or errors reported. Questions: Can the folder name for interface-wpml-log.php folder be changed?

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, I have consulted with our team, and they have advised me not to make any changes to the current folder structure for the following reasons. 1) If we change the log file's folder name, we might have to update multiple files. Especially the following two autoloader files. wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/composer/autoload_static.php and wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php 2) The actual folder path is wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/logging/interface-wpml-log.php Please let us know your feedback on this. -- Thanks!
