[1.5] How to add the sidebar to static pages?

https://pastebin.com/244404

updated file.

Well, when visiting the cams.php page, I see this:
.../public_html/wp-content/themes/v6/sidebar.php and it makes me wonder something…shouldn’t there be a folder between /public_html/ and wp-content/?

nope. wordpress is installed in /public_html/.

Hmm…okay…I’m stumped. Have you checked your site URL and blog URL values in the database to ensure they are correct?

they are, both https://desk003.com

hmm. I stumped a Dev!

just thought i’d point it out: it doesnt work if i copy the page to the v6 theme folder either.

https://desk003.com/wp-content/themes/v6/cams.php

it DOES work if I use Pages, but I don’t wanna, because I want to use Dreamweaver and have copies on my hdd, etc.
/am an ass

OMG i fixed it.

now to figure out how i did.

okay. for some strange reason unknown to me i had

<?php include 'https://desk003.com/wp-content/
themes/v6/sidebar.php'?>
instead of
<?php include(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/themes/v6/sidebar.php') ?>

So YAY! Thanks for all your help, I couldn’t have figured it out without you guys!
