How to include WordPress functions in custom .php file?


php wordpress include

You're on the right track. Try this instead:

require_once("../../../../wp-load.php");

php wordpress include

To use wp functions in custom .php files, you must include wp-load.php in your file.You can do so by adding the following line:

require_once(PATH_TO.'/wp-load.php');

If WordPress is in the document root add instead:

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-load.php');

php wordpress include

Well if someone has newer PHP versions installed (ver >= 5.5.x) then they can also try the below code in the root script in WordPress website directory itself:

<?phpdefine("WP_ROOT", __DIR__);define("DS", DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);require_once WP_ROOT . DS . "wp-load.php";

Or

<?phpdefine("WP_ROOT", __DIR__);define("DS", DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);require_once WP_ROOT . DS . "wp-blog-header.php";

I guess this is a more direct and clean approach and doesn't involve manually adding slashes and changing diretories by ...

Hope this helps someone.
