Comment:

 {{{plugin_dir_url()}}} lets you specify a {{{$file}}} parameter. If you
 pass in {{{__FILE__}}}, the symlink will always be resolved.

 Instead of passing in {{{__FILE__}}}, you can use
 {{{$_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]}}}, which will let the symlink alone.

 See [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3221771/how-do-you-get-php-
 symlinks-and-file-to-work-together-nicely this StackOverflow Q/A].

 Also, you can even move your wp-content folder somewhere else, although
 this is not completely compatible with multisite enabled (works fine for
 single site). In your {{{wp-config.php}}} file, you can define these
 constants:

 {{{
 define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/absolute/path/to/your/wp-content' );
 define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://url.to/your/wp-content' );
 }}}

 I'm closing this as worksforme.
