Hi @h7nif ,
I think the reproduction steps are incorrect.

Issue Summary

WordPress does not allow changing the media folder from General Settings. Modifying the content or upload directory requires constants in wp-config.php. If only the admin UI was used, this bug is not caused by WordPress core.

Real Cause

The problem is likely related to Frost being used with a child theme.

• get_theme_file_uri() points to the active theme (child theme if present).
• Frost assets are stored in the parent theme.
• When a child theme is active, asset paths break.
• Result: missing images in patterns and demo content.

Correct Solution

Use the parent theme directory for static assets:

echo esc_url( get_template_directory_uri() ) . '/assets/images/book-image-landing.webp';
