 * I write all my custom functions inside wp-includes/functions.php and I was wondering
   if there is a way of including a custom functions.php from another directory 
   in the same way you add a javascript file in the header?
 * The idea is to have my custom functions separated from the predefined WP functions.
 * Thanks

 * This was a dumb question…
 * Just add the custom functions to a functions.php file inside your theme directory.
   WordPress automatically includes this file.
