   Hi all!

   I want to get the plugin directory for a specific plugin, how can I do this? The target is show a image hosted on my plugin directory inside a widget. Something like this:

   function my_plugin_widget() {
   ...
   $dir = fn_to_get_plugin_directory();
   echo "<img src='{$dir}/img.gif' />";
   ...
   }

   Is it possible? Anyone have another suggestion for how can I do this?

   Thanks!

   Here is one method I use sometimes. To replace the line you have above, try this:

   $dir = ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/plugin-folder/img.gif'

   I've tried to use the ABSPATH constant, but it doesn't work. The value contained in this constant is the full path from my HD root directory (C:\...). There is some constant or var that contains the absolute path from Apache's root directory (http://localhost/...) or something like this?

   Thank you!

   I got this working now!

   I'm using bloginfo('wpurl') function followed by the plugin directory path (/wp-content/plugins/...).

   Any better way to do this?

   You could also use the "Plugin basename" ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/plugin_basename )
