 * Hello,
    I have this code i would like to put on my website. The website says 
   to put it on the top of pages. Here is the website: [https://perishablepress.com/blackhole-bad-bots/](https://perishablepress.com/blackhole-bad-bots/)
   Here is the code: `<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/blackhole/blackhole.
   php"); ?>` I have uploaded the unzipped folder to my Home directory. Placed the
   code in header.php only to get this very long error. EDIT: I have set Executable
   permissions for User, Group, and World. ERROR: Warning: include(/home2/ytadvise/
   public_html/blackhole/blackhole.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
   directory in /home2/ytadvise/public_html/wp-content/themes/wpex-thoughts/header.
   php on line 13
 * Warning: include(): Failed opening ‘/home2/ytadvise/public_html/blackhole/blackhole.
   php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/opt/php54/lib/php’) in /home2/ytadvise/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/wpex-thoughts/header.php on line 13
 * Thanks for the help,
    Alex
