    I am trying to create a template for a page to show an Availability Calendar and have placed all the necessary files in a folder called calendar in the root of the site. The template is at wp-content/themes/theme-folder/templates/template-calendar.php

    I have tried all ways to set the url in the template to find a file in the calendar folder but nothing seems to work.

    Placed this at the top of the template

    <?php
//	include the calendar file
$the_file="https://mydomain.co.uk/calendar/ac-includes/cal.inc.php";
if(!file_exists($the_file)) die("<b>".$the_file."</b> not found");
else		require_once($the_file);

get_header(); ?>
?>

    etc etc

    and get file not found. Have tried moving files and various url options but always file not found.

    Could anyone give me a pointer.

    When you use the require() (or include() functions you should use the file system URI, and not the files public URL. As an example for yours…

    $the_file = ABSPATH."calendar/ac-includes/cal.inc.php";
