using a php file include in multiple multisite sites

    Working with WP Multisite for one customer with 9 locations (and individual sites) and growing. I wanted to use an include to pull in the Locations (a google map plus list of locations) into each site’s individual Locations page. I can’t get the include to work (i can get it to work using iFrame, but well, I don’t want to use iframe, rather use an include. WordPress seems to ignore the include. I’m running a child theme of 2011.

    Any suggestions? Here’s the page I want to “include”: https://twomaidsandamop.com/map/index.php

    and here’s the page I want to “include” it on: https://greensboro.twomaidsandamop.com/location/

    and the code I’ve tried using is <?php include("https://twomaidsandamop.com/map/index.php"); ?>

    I know just enough to be dangerous, and appreciate any help provided.

    You generally can’t run PHP includes in a WP page (security).

    You could do this with a page template, make a ‘page-location.php’ template that uses the php code.

    It’s still ignoring the include call. I added “abcdefg” into the template file and it displays the text, but ignores the include.

    That would be because youre not using include right.

    https://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

    include(/full/path/to/map/index.php);

    Possibly include 'https://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2'; woudl work, but I’ve never tried it.

    I did find a solution, and here is what worked:

    <?php
   $path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
   $path .= "/includes/locations.txt";
   include_once($path);
?>

    I placed this code in a template file (where the page content would be) and used the template when I wanted to display the data inside the locations.txt file.
