Hello,
you can include the link to the PDF file, but not the file itself. In order to display the PDF file on your page we recommend you trying one of the flash-based PDF viewers available. Thanks for your comments.

Hi AmberPanther Team
I was wondering if you can include a PDF file… It doesn’t work on first try (while a php file does work), so if there is anything I can do to display a PDF it would be a great help.
BTW you have written a fantastic plugin in wp-include-file!!

Thanks for your comments. You cannot use WP Include File to include anything stored in the database. Take a look at the query_post function. It should help you achieve what you are trying to do. Create a page template and use query_post and The Loop to display your 10 last posts on the page.

Hello,
Very good plugin, even excellent idea. But, jJust a question please :
Do you know how i can include the 10 last posts of my blog in a page ? I mean, i cannot put two times a “if have post, while have post…” in the loop, already called by page.php
An idea ?

The current version does not support query strings. That is a great idea though! We will look into it.

You need to give the .php extension to your file so the PHP script will be executed on inclusion. The shortcodes within the included file will not work. You will have to figure out the corresponding plugin function call to the shortcode and use that instead, in the included file.

Yes, it is intended only for including a PHP file. The goal is to be able to utilize the PHP functions within post content text, which WordPress does not allow. It can be also used to just insert CSS and/or JavaScript specific to that post.

Can this be used to run the content of say a shopping cart within the wordpress content area, or is it really only to display a single PHP page/file?
Thanks

Seems very useful.. but.. how do I get other plugins and short codes to work within the include file? It seems that it ignores and types of plugins or short codes that I use in the include file. For example.. the file that I’m including is an html file (kit.html) and in that file I’m using a plugin called “Wordpress Tabs Slides” in addition to another custom plugin that is called via a short tag. Is there a way I can get these to work in the included html file? Should I change it to a php file somehow or something like that? Do I have to make a call to the plugins? I’m not sure what is needed. Could you please provide some insight? Thank you very much.

is it possible to insert a query string on the inserted file? For example something like that: [include file="media.php?var=34700"]
