+## Modifying the src directory of the mu plugins
+
+You may wish to change the src directory you want the mu plugins to be loaded from. For example, on WordPress VIP projects 
+you may wish to load mu plugins from client-mu-plugins using this loader. To do this you can set a constant to tell the 
+mu plugin loader where your mu plugins are kept:
+
+```php
+define('MU_PLUGIN_LOADER_SRC_DIR', WPCOM_VIP_CLIENT_MU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/');
+```
