I'm using composer to install wordpress but I have a situation when I run composer install I end up with a nested wp-content directory as follows. (Wordpress is the root install directory)

• wordpress/wp-content/wp-content

All the default core Wordpress themes and plugins end up in the following directories.

• wordpress/wp-content/wp-content/themes
• wordpress/wp-content/wp-content/plugins

All my plugins in the composer file end up in the correct directories

• wordpress/wp-content/plugins
• wordpress/wp-content/themes
