    Hi everyone,

    I am new to wordpress and PHP and trying to find my way around.
    I have placed a file with a single function in the base folder (C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress).
    within the [insertphp] tags, I have include ‘<\name of the file>’. I have also tried to include the entire path to the file, but that doesnt work either.
    I am getting the following error: Warning: include(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\insert-php\insert_php.php

    Can someone please help me.

    Put your function in the functions.php file of your Child Theme instead.

    Thanks a lot for the reply Andrew, but can you explain the answer a little. I am very new and not conversant with what a child theme is.

    Sorry I misread your thread title and thought this was regarding a theme, not a plugin.

    Try this:

    [insert_php]
include( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/public/document/location/of/file.php" );
[/insert_php]

    Replace
    /public/document/location/of/file.php
    with the public document location of the file you’re including.

    As an example, if the URL to the file was http://example.com/testing/file.php, then replace
    /public/document/location/of/file.php
    with
    /testing/file.php

    For this particular include, assuming the file you’re including is named file.php, this should work:

    [insert_php]
include( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/wordpress/file.php" );
[/insert_php]

    Will

    Because there has been no response, I’m assuming the original poster resolved the issue.
