require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

  • Hello I’m designing a theme but having some trouble..

    I have an index.php and I include this line at very start

    <?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); require('./wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

    The WP_USE_THEMES is self explanatory and the wp-blog-header I guess is
    to start up wordpress.

    Anyways I put a link on the page which points to articles.php and I include this line inside articles.php but I get this error.

    Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\Tutorial\articles.php  on line 1

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\Tutorial\articles.php on line 1

    I’m not sure why it works in index.php and not in articles.php, it looks like it cannot find ./wp-blog-header.php (im not sure where that is btw, but index.php seems to find it okay)

    ahh i see, wp-blog-header.php is located on root

    I guess ./ points to root then, why would it load with index.php and not with articles.php though? the are both in same directory

    I moved wp-blog-header.php into wp-content/themes/ThemeName/ and it works..

    So this means that the problem is because ./ is referring to
    wp-content/themes/ThemeName

    Is there way for me to specify root when I do not know the URL?

    ex: https://www.website.com/wp-blog-header.php

    ok I think I fix it..

    what I did was just go some directory’s up relativly

    <?php require('./../../../wp-blog-header.php'); >

    This just goes 3 directories up, where wp-blog-header.php is located.. gonna keep testing to see if there are any problems.

    I’m planning on distributing this theme so I guess it will keep working as long as the user does not move files around

    still not sure why <?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); require('./wp-blog-header.php'); ?> works with index.php though

    Your theme should not be including WordPress files like that at all.

    Look at some existing themes for examples.

    Basically, you’re doing it wrong.

    It works pretty good though Otto42. I am making a theme but it is more of a website with wordpress integrated into it. (But distributed like a theme)

    Once I finish it i’ll show it off to ya
