I'm trying to get a url to my plugin, but plugins_url function returns an incorrect one.
in main plugin file there's this line:
$this->plugin_url = plugins_url( '/', __FILE__ );
Note, I've changed my plugins folder through wp-config.php:
...
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/home/victor/hg/' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'http://hg.victorpc.org' );
...
hg.victorpc.org is a vhost with document root set to /home/victor/hg
the function returns this URL http://hg.victorpc.org/home/victor/hg/<plugin-folder> and the correct is http://hg.victorpc.org/hg/<plugin-folder>
I've worked around it, using:
plugins_url( basename( __DIR__ ) );
which returns what I expect.
Use plugin_dir_url() instead.
Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/plugin_dir_url
Usage:
$this->plugin_url = plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ );
This will return: http://hg.victorpc.org/hg/<plugin-folder>/ (notice the trailing slash).
