Php file?

  • Ok, so I’ve taken over a WordPress website for someone.

    I want to use one of their previous php files, but it is with the old theme and I have since updated it with a new one.

    The are still in control of hosting, so I don’t have access to it.

    Is there a way to upload or transfer that php file from their old theme into my theme without having to do anything on the host?

  • If you can write and run some PHP code then…

    <?php

$copyFrom = '/public_html/.../oldTheme/file.php';
$copyTo = '/public_html/.../newTheme/file.php';

if(!copy($copyFrom, $copyTo)){
    echo 'copy failed';
}

?>

    Where would I put that or upload that though?

    I think what you mean is you updated the theme and now a custom php file is gone. Is that correct?

    Yes! That’s exactly what I mean, thanks for clarifying it.

    Is it doable without having access to the host info?

    Actually, even with host info it may not be if you do not have a backup, or the host cannot provide one…

    Well, I did back up the previous site they had before I installed a theme. I can still go into the editor, and change the drop-down menu to the one that has the page.

    I wasn’t sure if I could just copy/past and upload it without having to upload it through the host.
