 * Hello 🙂
    Please can you help me?
 * I need to include plugin in my WordPress theme without plugin activation.
    I 
   have these lines:
 *     ```
       include_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/math/class-constrained-array-rounding.php';
       include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'class.jetpack-user-agent.php');
       include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'functions.gallery.php');
       include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'jetpack-carousel.php');
   
       wp_enqueue_script( 'tiled-gallery', plugins_url( 'tiled-gallery/tiled-gallery.js', __FILE__ ), array( 'jquery' ) );
       wp_enqueue_style( 'tiled-gallery', plugins_url( 'tiled-gallery/tiled-gallery.css', __FILE__ ), array(), '2012-09-21' );
       ```
   
 * I think I need to use function `get_template_directory_uri() .` instead of `plugin_dir_path`
   to include these files, but I’m confused.
 * I’m new in WordPress, please can somebody help me with this? 🙂

 * Hi,
 * You do actually need to use get_template_directory_uri but I would strongly suggest
   not bundling Jetpack with your theme. This is because at best, every time Jetpack
   updates, you’re going to need to update your theme.

 * Thank you, Amanda!
 * I’ll disable plugin update.
