   I want to place a set of template files in a sub-directory (snippets), so I have this:

   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH '/snippets/file.php'); ?>

   But WordPress is showing a blank page.

   it works if I remove the sub-directory.
   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH '/file.php'); ?>

   Can't find any references in Codex.

   Thanks!

   I think you are missing a check for the file and the (concatenate) period '.' and you can use include_once if you do not need the file loaded every refresh.

   <?php if(file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH .'/snippets/file.php')){include(TEMPLATEPATH .'/snippets/file.php');} ?>

   Note:
   If it is a child theme then TEMPLATEPATH is the Parent file directory, STYLESHEETPATH is the child's file directory.

   <?php if(file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH .'/snippets/file.php')){include(STYLESHEETPATH .'/snippets/file.php');} ?>

   HI Adeptris,

   Thanks so much! It works and thanks for the include_once tips.

   Ah yes! Thanks for doing that for me! I didn't even notice there is an option to change a thread status.
