Right, but again I can't have any of the paths or anything change. I've got all kinds of stuff: Git post-deploy, Python stuff, everything. The file path to where the content is needs to be exactly the same. You need to come up with a better solution for this.
Cannot copy or remove anything. It needs to stay exactly in the path that it's at.
This isn't a WordPress website; it's using all kinds of tools and Nijex and all kinds of different things. It needs to say exactly where it's at, and I want it on another IP address. This is unbelievable.
