-----------------------------------+-----------------------------
 I've tried to hardcode the Template and Stylesheet directory inside the
 wp-config with:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 define('TEMPLATEPATH', '/app/public/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen');
 define('STYLESHEETPATH', '/app/public/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen');
 }}}

 The paths I've got from

 {{{
 get_template_directory()
 }}}

 and

 {{{
 get_stylesheet_directory()
 }}}

 I've tried with WP 4.7.3  on Local from Flywheel with Twentyseventeen as
 theme. But as soon as I save the two defines I get:


 {{{
 Notice: Constant TEMPLATEPATH already defined in /app/public/wp-includes
 /default-constants.php on line 343

 Notice: Constant STYLESHEETPATH already defined in /app/public/wp-includes
 /default-constants.php on line 349
 }}}



 I've also tried with :

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 define( ‘TEMPLATEPATH’, get_template_directory() );
 define( ‘STYLESHEETPATH’, get_stylesheet_directory() );
 }}}


 liked listed in the codex:

 [https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php]

 But that resulted in


 {{{
 Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_template_directory() in
 /app/public/wp-config.php on line 75
 }}}


 But it could be easily fixed by adding if statements inside the default-
 constants.php function for TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH I suppose
