   Hi,

   I have wordpress installed in a blog directory on a site. (www.thesite.co.uk/blog/) I need to include a navigtion file that holds the html for the "main site" in to the wordpress theme I am building, but when I try to use a standard php include, I fails to load it in.

   How do I make this work? I don't really have to have two copies of the same file (one inside the WP dir & one outside in the main site) as it could lead to updating issues.

   Any ideas??

   Thanks

   Ash

   Try

   <php include('(bloginfo('url')/whatever.inc')?>

   or

   <?php require_once("./whatever.inc"); ?>

   Can't guarantee either of them, haven't tested, let me know if either of them works

   Absolute urls don't work? e.g http:www/whatever.com/whatever.inc

   The other thing is that you usually have to go up directories from the theme e.g
   \..\..\..\whatever.inc

   I found a solution to this that works for me. Instead of an absolute path using http, try this...
   include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/include/whatever.inc");
