how to get plugin directory path in wordpress
To get the plugin directory path in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
- Open your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the "Plugins" section.
- Click on "Editor" from the sub-menu under the "Plugins" section.
- On the right side, you will see a drop-down menu labeled "Select plugin to edit." Choose the plugin you want to find the directory path for.
- Once you have selected the plugin, you will see a list of files on the left side.
- Locate the file named "Plugin Main File" or something similar. This file is usually the main PHP file for the plugin.
- Open the file by clicking on its name.
- Look for a line of code that starts with
plugin_dir_path
. It should look something like this:define( 'PLUGIN_DIR_PATH', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) );
This line of code defines a constant variable namedPLUGIN_DIR_PATH
and assigns the plugin directory path to it. - Copy the plugin directory path from the line of code, excluding the
define
function part. In the example above, the plugin directory path would beplugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )
.
By following these steps, you can easily retrieve the plugin directory path in WordPress.
