Absolute WordPress path

The configuration file defines the absolute path, or the full directory path on your web server, to the WordPress files on your Web server. This is called once when WordPress is executed and tells the Web server where, within your directory, it needs to look for the core files to successfully run WordPress on your site. The code that defines the absolute path in the wp-config.php file looks like this:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )

define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */ require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
