 * Greetings,
 * I have a theme file which is separated from the rest of the “pack” and I would
   like to enable all the usual WP functionality, which is, being able to use all
   the existing functions.
 * The file is inside my theme folder.
 * Thank you in advance for your help,
 * Mr. Alexander

 * Greetings Denise,
 * I actually found the solution to this and all you have to do is include the following
   the file:
 * <?php require_once(‘../../../wp-config.php’); ?>
 * Where wp-config.php is inside your root WP folder and your file is inside your
   current theme folder.
 * This will enable you to use all the WP functionality inside this page.
 * Hope it helps,
 * Mr. Alexander
