Include Me

Description

Include Me helps to include in posts or pages external files usually to be shared
between different posts or pages or that contains PHP or other code that can be
compromised by the visual editor.

The use is immediate: the shortcode [includeme] is all that you need (see the documentation
on Include Me official page).

The best way to use it is to include functionalities
written in external PHP that will be rendered in post body or to include pieces of
javascript that will be hard to add with WordPress editor.

Inclusions can be rendered with IFRAME if needed to create boxes that display
external web pages.

This plugin is made of few line of code, ultralite!

Installation

Once installed you can start to use the [includeme] shortcode to include external file in your posts or pages.
See the official page for example and options.
The inclusion folder is initially set to WP_CONTENT_DIR/include-me. You can change it with a define('INCLUDE_ME_DIR', '...') in your wp-config.php.
If you want to enable the old behavior and be able to include from any location, use define('INCLUDE_ME_DIR', '*').

using this plugin for forever, it just laks the feature to fetch external sources, to accomplish this I added this in plugin.php if (isset($attrs['url'])) { return file_get_contents($attrs['url'], 0, stream_context_create(["http"=>["timeout"=>3]])); } this will fetch external URLs with the shortcode [includeme url=] With WP6 session data is somewhat cached, which caused some issues, but overall it works just as expected.

I tried many plugins to find a plugin that would allow me to replace my PHP includes statements with something that would work in the WordPress editor. This is the one! Using the short code [includeme file=’/filename.php’] is all you need. And it works with WordPress 5.8.2.

The developer of this plugin released a buggy version and do not even care answering the users for the last 3 weeks!!! Too bad! This plugin used to do the job for me but not anymore. I am switching to the “Insert page” plugin which does the job and is well manage.

I use this to enable version control (Git/GitHub) of custom code in vanilla WordPress Pages. No more coding Pages in WordPress’ editor! 🎉

Simple, easy to use when files are in the includeme folder. I use it to copy posts into a page, works well, but… It would be nice if it had an option to copy the title of the post as well. Dave

So easy to use and does a great job including other php files and external sources. So good I can almost not believe it is free 🙂
