I'm using a free hosting, I installed wordpress and mybb and I'm integrating both , so in the public_html I got the wp stuff and the forum directory, I'm making a template for wordpress so I need to use the directory /public_html/wp-content/themes/thetheme/somepage.php and require que file global.php in the /public_html/forum directory, I'm using this:
require_once '../../../foro/global.php';
For some reason It don't work, some help here?
Using relative paths can cause some issues, you may be able to solve this by finding the absolute path. You can find the absolute path of a particular file using the getcwd() function in PHP. Then simple just use require_once with a slash in front to get directly to the directory in question.
