However, on another client’s website I run into the same errors described by Peter above. * The only difference between the two sites is that one is installed in the root directory and the other is installed in a subdirectory. In tracking the error I found your plugin is using $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] in your program gallery- slider.php when you are referring to the path for your register.txt file. The website I have installed in a subdirectory is the one showing the error because the subdirectory folder name is not in the document root. * You need to be referencing the WordPress function plugins_url() in order to get the path to the plugins folder. That would insure your plugin works for websites installed off the document root. * Lisa * [lisabeewd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisabeewd/) * (@lisabeewd) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543514) * [@tonioexp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonioexp/) * Scratch my reference to plugins_url(); … that function doesn’t get the server path but the url path. There should be a function that will get you the server path to the plugins folder, though. * Lisa * [lisabeewd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisabeewd/) * (@lisabeewd) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543515) * [@tonioexp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonioexp/) * Please forgive all my posts but I just found that * $pathtoplugin = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__ ); * will give you the path to your plugin folder. I added it to the gallery-slider. php on my one installation that was getting the error and replaced the path references with the variable and the plugin runs without errors … so far. Yay! * Maybe you can go through your plugin and use the plugin_dir_path(__FILE__); code to get the server path to your plugin folder (it includes the trailing /) then those of us who have installed in subdirectories will be able to use your plugin! Which, by the way, works great! * Lisa * [grantg182](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grantg182/) * (@grantg182) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543525) * Removed. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543526) * If you require assistance then, as per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post), please post your own topic. * Thread Starter [Peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardpeter4u/) * (@hardpeter4u) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543527) * [@esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) Theme Diva & Forum Moderator * What is your post supposed to mean? These posts and replies are all on topic. The plugin doesn’t work and throws errors.

Was only trying to help. Please feel free to remove all my posts to this topic. I was able to correct the error with the suggestions I made( which I thought were very relevant to [@peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peter/)’ s post) but I guess you need to do it your way. * Thread Starter [Peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardpeter4u/) * (@hardpeter4u) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543534) * @**tonioexp** * So what code did you change exactly? Was it this? `$filename = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/ wp-content/plugins/gallery-slider/register.txt';` * to this? `$pathtoplugin = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__ ) . '/wp-content/plugins/ gallery-slider/register.txt';` * And every other place that `$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']` occurs and just replace that with `$pathtoplugin = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__ );` * Thanks for your help. Your solution seems absolutely logical since my test site is in a subfolder like this: `http://mysite.com/wp/` * Peter * Thread Starter [Peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hardpeter4u/) * (@hardpeter4u) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-registertxt/#post-4543535) * @**lisabeewd** I meant the above post for YOU. Sorry I labeled it incorrectly. * If you’re there, can you see if you can answer please.
