Wondering what the path to the front-end.css file should be? I'm trying all kinds of combinations of plugins_url('front-end.css'), but it keeps saying I'm wrong?

12,983 PointsYes, I just had this problem as well. The challenge does not provide good description as to where it is located. Think about where a stylesheet SHOULD be placed. Also, don't forget where your plugin files are located. You are on the right track though.

Sean Templeton
12,983 PointsYes. Now from that, figure out what the plugin's folder is from the code challenge.
Adam Sommer
62,470 PointsI'm still not getting it... all the other code challenges used something with my_plugin in the path?
Sean Templeton
12,983 PointsYes, this code challenge does not follow any standard way of coding that has been established through previous challenges. The name of the plugin is My Plugin. The name of Zac's plugin is WPTreehouse Badges. Use Zac's way of naming his plugin folder.

Thanks for your help Sean, finally got the path right.
Sean Templeton
12,983 PointsI had the exact same reaction. I'm glad you got it. :)

Treehouse Guest TeacherThis should be resolved now. Sorry for the complications!

62,470 PointsThanks so much Zac. And thanks for the great course. Almost have my own plugin done. Would have taken far far longer without your great content.

I've tried:
Sean Templeton
12,983 PointsMust have, it's back to the issue we had before. You almost had it though. Look at what sub-folder you put it in.

Chris Akers
2,527 PointsYes. It looks like that fix was lost in the DB migration. I have re-fixed it. Sorry all!

62,470 PointsI think I forgot where my plugin files are located, because I still can't seem to find the directory. I've tried 'my_plugin/css/front-end.css', 'my_pluign/front-end.css', 'my_plugin/inc/front-end.css', etc all wrapped in the plugins_url() but still all wrong answer???
