Path to php script

Hi,

The fture to click folder and browse my directory structure to build the path does not seem to work so i tried enteering it manually

How does not it work? When you press the folder icon, it is supposed to open a modal window titled Select Path and you should be able to select a file.

The path you need to enter should be relative to the value $_SERVER[ ‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’ ].

Say, you have

– $_SERVER[ 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' ]: /htdocs/
– WordPress Site Path: /htdocs/wordpress
– Your desired PHP Script Path: /htdocs/php/myscript.php

Then it would be, /php/myscript.php.

Hope this helps.

thanks

the modal opens but its empty

I have a folder ‘scripts’ in my web root (same location is the wp-config

so I used this path in the plugin

/scripts/myscriptname.php

this ok ?

Joe

same location is the wp-config

Then try adding the directory name of the wordpress site. Say, it is installed on the mywp directory, try /mywp/scripts/myscriptname.php.

can I put the script folder and file relative to the plugin dir ?

Hi,

You can, but it does not mean the file is properly found if it is the wrong path.

You have to specify the script file location relative to the value $_SERVER[ 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' ] as mentioned in the initial reply.

I think that is what i originally did

like so

/scripts/myscriptname.php

do I use the slash at the start ?

joe

You can either omit or keep the forward slash at the beginning.
