 * I have made a file in “**/wp-content/themes/mytheme/inc/slider.php**“
    Now I 
   want to include the file in index.php. I tried with include_once `include_once
   get_template_directory_uri()."inc/slider.php";` but I get following error :
 * > Warning: include_once(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration
   > by allow_url_include=0
 * Can you please tell the best way to include a file placed inside a theme?

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       include_once WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes/mytheme/inc/slider.php';
       ```

 * Thank you Josh for the suggestion. I tried following your hint
 * > include_once WP_CONTENT_DIR.”/themes/dfm/inc/slider.php”;
 * but I couldn’t get the result, slider could not be seen.
