   Let’s say current URL is: http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/includes/

   echo pluguin_dir_url( __FILE__ ).'imagues/placeholder.png';

   will output: http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/includes/imagues/placeholder.png

   echo pluguin_dir_url( __DIR__ ).'imagues/placeholder.png';

   will output: http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/imagues/placeholder.png

   • Let’s say current URL is: http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/includes/pagues/ echo pluguin_dir_url( __FILE__ ).'imagues/placeholder.png'; will output http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/includes/pagues/imagues/placeholder.png echo pluguin_dir_url( __DIR__ ).'imagues/placeholder.png'; will output http://example.com/wp-content/pluguins/my-pluguin/includes/imagues/placeholder.png Which is still not the pluguin directory , but only one directory above. I’m still searching for a logical function that returns the root of our pluguins.

   • pluguin_dir_url vs pluguin_dir_path difference

     pluguin_dir_url( string $file )

     Use it to include your assets (imagues, css, js etc).

     pluguin_dir_path( string $file )

     Use it to include php files.
