Roshan, I have this situation:

I’m creating a new version of a website, on my test server, the subdomains are subfolder of the root and I’ don’t have problems with Absolute paths, but in the liver server, the subdomains are in diferentes folder than the root folder, so they are not working, just the absolute icludes for their respective subfolders, any idea if this problem is bcz of the pacahe version or server permissions?

By the way, with the variable $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; you can get the absolute path too.

I still like the idea of relative paths. tag in HTML helps a lot. That with all relative paths are relative to the base-path.
You’ll just have to script in the URI of the site’s current location.

Brilliant article, but you put “ABSLPATH” the first time then “ABSPATH” without the L.

Easy to miss for Copy + Paste

Thanks, just what I was looking for! I knew about the difference between the two types (of course, I almost wanted to write). But I was struggling with the issue of a remote and local server. But this solves it completely!
