Description

A safe and reliable WordPress shortcode for PHP's file_get_contents() function.

Shortcode Attributes

Note that all file paths (not URLs) are relative to the wp-content/ folder. For security reasons, it is not possible to include files outside the wp-content/ folder. As an example, the shortcode attributes url="file://dir/file.html" and file="/dir/file.html" are both read as wordpress/wp-contents/dir/file.html. The .. folder name is also stripped from file paths to prevent backing out of the wp-content/ folder.

Shortcode Name

The WPFGC_SHORTCODE_NAME constant can be defined in your wp-config.php file to add an additional custom shortcode name (the default shortcode names are 'wp-file-get-contents' and 'wpfgc').


define( 'WPFGC_SHORTCODE_NAME', 'include' );
