 * Hi WP-ers,
 * Quick question if anyone can please assist me with.
 * Instead of doing the validation check in the child theme’s function.php, is it
   possible to call the validation file.php into the child’s function.php?
 * If so, would `require(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/include/registration_validate.
   php');` be correct?
 * Thanks,
    Hal
