how to get plugin directory path in wordpress

To get the plugin directory path in WordPress, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the "Plugins" section.
  2. Click on "Editor" from the sub-menu under the "Plugins" section.
  3. 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.
  4. Once you have selected the plugin, you will see a list of files on the left side.
  5. Locate the file named "Plugin Main File" or something similar. This file is usually the main PHP file for the plugin.
  6. Open the file by clicking on its name.
  7. 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 named PLUGIN_DIR_PATH and assigns the plugin directory path to it.
  8. Copy the plugin directory path from the line of code, excluding the define function part. In the example above, the plugin directory path would be plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ).

By following these steps, you can easily retrieve the plugin directory path in WordPress.
