 * Hello,
 * we had some issues with wrong paths in plugins and we tracked it down to usage
   of the WP_PLUGIN_URL. The usage of this constant is discouraged by WordPress 
   and plugins_url() call should be used instead.
 * I made a simple patch, which fixes this in the advanced-post-slider. I reused
   the existing advps_url constant, so the patch should not be less effective than
   the original implementation.
