I placed the PHP in the WordPress Includes directory. When the HTML calls the PHP I get an error messsage that the PHP cannot be found.** Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [stvwlf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stvwlf/) * (@stvwlf) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-includes/#post-1060443) * Your own PHP should not go in to wp-includes folder but in wp-content. That is the only folder user content is intended to be under. The best place to put it is in your theme’s folder, or a subfolder in the theme’s folder. * That may not be the problem however. Includes need a file path that starts from the server root of your hosting account, not a URL. Post the line of code you used to include the file. Also post the error message. * Thread Starter [maryandpaul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maryandpaul/) * (@maryandpaul) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-includes/#post-1060456) * **HTML CODE IN PAGE –**
