How to require a file in Wordpress plugin folder? - wordpress

I have Stripe plugin installed at wp-content/plugins/stripe/. I have a page named "Payment.php" in theme/fifthteen/Payment.php. Now I want to include the file wp-content/plugins/stripe/Stripe.php in my Payment.php. How can I do that?

Use
plugins_url( $path, $plugin );
$path will hold path of the file in your plugin
$path = 'stripe.php';
$plugin holds the name of your plugin
$plugin='stripe' ;
include plugins_url($path,$plugin) ;

Get WordPress plugin directory URI

I want to include a WooCommerce file while running a plugin. Here is the code I am using,
include_once(include( content_url() .'/plugins/woocommerce/includes/wc-core-functions.php'));
This gives me below error,
include(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in /nas/content/staging/squatwolf/wp-content/plugins/wpfront-notification-bar/classes/class-wpfront-notification-bar.php on line 58
I understand its being caused because the content_url function is giving complete url instead of relative url. I also tried,
plugin_dir_url(__FILE__)
but it gives the url of the plugin I am in, not the wordpress plugin directory url.
you want like this : /home/user/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/?
try $dir = plugin_dir_path( __DIR__ );

Unable to access analytics.txt once uploaded, returns 404

I've been asked to add an analytics.txt file to a wordpress website so I've created the file and uploaded it to the server document root but when I go to it via the url www.examples.com/analytics.txt all I get is a 404 error.
I've checked the file permissions and I've cleared the wordpress cache but neither have helped.
Any ideas?
The folder structure is as follows:
wp-admin
wp-content
wp-includes
analytics.txt <-- added this file, but cannot seem to access it via a web browser
index.php
etc...
This is NOT the solution but it is a work-around while I carry on trying to figure out why wordpress won't allow me to access my file.
So if you're desperate and HAVE to get it sorted right now, here is what you could do, but I warn you, it's ugly! Open your index.php file and you should see something like this:
<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );
?>
Make a backup copy first and then add the wrapping if statement:
<?php
if ($_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] == '/analytics.txt') {
die('Put the text that you were instructed to put into your analytics.txt file in here');
} else {
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );
}
?>
Like I said, this is a dirty solution but when needs must and the client is getting impatient, this could help in the mean time.
Hoping that someone will have a better solution though!
I was able to get this to work with the following for the Sage theme:
Upload the analytics.txt through the theme administration panel
Copy the url of the upload and remove the hostname. For me it looked like this: app/uploads/2018/09/analytics.txt
Open the functions.php file and add the following:
function analytics_txt_rewrite(){
add_rewrite_rule('^analytics\.txt$','<route to your analytics.txt file>','top');
}
add_action('init','analytics_txt_rewrite');
Flush and regenerate the rewrite rules database: From WordPress Administration Screens, Select Settings -> Permalinks and just click Save Changes without any changes.

How do i locate wordpress plugin directory?

I am trying to add a function from plugin 1(wp job manager) to plugin 2(woocommerce).
I have decided to do this by including the php file from plugin 1, however I am unable to locate the file directory. I have used:
include( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'wp-job-manager/includes/class-wp-job-manager-applications.php');
but it returns the following error:
Warning:
include(/home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data02/78/2394078/html/wp-content/themes/listify-child/wp-job-manager/includes/class-wp-job-manager-applications.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data02/78/2394078/html/wp-content/themes/listify-child/functions.php
on line 77
Please advise me as I've been stuck on this issue for really long... Thanks!!!
Wordpress setups have a constant ABSPATH defined (look at the bottom lines of wp_config.php) which points to the full and absolute path of the Wordpress setup, so in your case echo ABSPATH; would return /home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data02/78/2394078/html/.
For most installations, appending wp-content/plugins/ to that string would point you to your plugins directory.
However, in a Wordpress configuration one can also customize the wp-content and or plugins directory to their own preference, so building plugins on ABSPATH.'wp-content/plugins/ is not recommended. Unfortunately Wordpress simply doesn't have a get_absolute_pluginspath() function or something available. A trick would be to fetch the plugins-URL, and remove the site-URL from it, so the remaining data is wp-content/plugins/ (or whatever the user has made of it). In code:
$plugins_directory = ABSPATH.str_replace(site_url()."/","",plugins_url())."/";
Which in your case would return:
/home/content/p3pnexwpnas05_data02/78/2394078/html/wp-content/plugins/
You probably mean:
plugin_dir_path(__FILE__)
That gives you the directory path to the file that statement is in. So what that returns depends on where you run it. If you use this statement
include( plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'wp-job-manager/includes/class-wp-job-manager-applications.php');
in the main plugin file for wp_job_manager (probably wp_job_manager.php), then plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) give the path of the directory that file is in (the plugin directory).
If you use it in some other file, you will need to adjust the rest of the path string accordingly.

How to run codeigniter(HMVC) inside wordpress folder

Anybody have install codeigniter(HMVC) within wordpress.
I am trying to install codeigniter(HMVC) inside wordpress folder.
my codeigniter is work on Virtual host can it possible to run codeigniter within wordpress setup with codeigniter is work on virtual host.
Any suggestion.
It is very easy. Here is step by step process.
First see the structure.
You can see it is inside wordpress directory. Next Add this in index.php of codeigniter
require_once('../wp-load.php');
And finally to avoid conflict between Wordpress and Codeigntier's site_url function add this file in codeigniter/application/core as MY_url_helper.php
if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
if (!function_exists('ci_site_url')) {
function ci_site_url($uri = '')
{
$CI =& get_instance();
return $CI->config->site_url($uri);
}
}
if (!function_exists('ci_base_url')) {
function ci_base_url($uri = '')
{
$CI =& get_instance();
return $CI->config->base_url($uri);
}
}
Now when you use site_url() it will refer to wordpress site_url() and
ci_site_url() it will refer to codeigniter's site_url.
And now when you need to access codeigniter try this.
`http://localhost/wordpress/codeigniter/index.php/mycontroller/mymethod`
Hope it is easy to set up and helps.
Codeignetor can run OK in every directory if server allows to install on that directory.
If its not working please confirm the security settings from server.

How should I protect a static Wordpress file directory from the outside world?

I'm taking over the admin of a WP site that serves static docs from a dedicated directory. The current directory resides on the top level (/public_html/docs) which seems susceptible to snooping. The site sits behind a login firewall.
The file directory contains >500 individual files, so uploading and hand-editing individual links seems absurd. (At least to me.)
Should I move this directory to a more secure location within the WP directory? Or, what is the preferred way to configure .htaccess?
At a minimum I would disable Directory Listing by using an .htaccess file that sits inside your /public_html/docs directory.
IndexIgnore *
Possibly a more secure method would be to move the docs directory outside your public_html directory. Then use a PHP script that can serve your document by passing a variable, such as www.site.com/serve_doc.php?name=xxxx.pdf.
Here is some code to accomplish this:
// get the file name
$file = $_GET['name'];
$dir = "/home/xxxx/docs/";
$fp = fopen($dir.$file, 'rb');
if(!$fp) { exit; }
// open the file
$finfo = finfo_open();
$filetype = finfo_file($finfo, $file, FILEINFO_MIME);
finfo_close($finfo);
$filename = $file;
// send the right headers
header("Cache-Control: ");// leave blank to avoid IE errors
header("Pragma: ");// leave blank to avoid IE errors
header("Content-Type: " .$filetype );
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($dir.$file));
// dump the file and stop the script
fpassthru($fp);
exit();
Of course you'll want to add some authentication to validate whether the user should be able to call this PHP script. One possible way would be to call the Wordpress function is_user_logged_in in that script before serving the file.
