   On my site, I have a file of general purpose functions in the site root called "mysite_functions.php." I have WordPress installed in /wordpress, and bbPress installed in /wordpress/bbpress. I have altered wp_setcookie() and wp_clearcookie() in a WordPress plugin. In those two functions, I use require_once('../mysite_functions.php');, and then the function call. It works fine.

   The problem comes in the bbPress plugins. I have a plugin overriding bb_login() and bb_logout(). In each of those functions I use the exact same code to call mysite_functions.php, but I get "failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [file path] [line number]"

   In either case, the functions are unchanged with the exception of appending:
   
require_once("../mysite_functions.php");
call_my_function();

   Why not run an absolute path?

   require_once(/var/www/html/mysite_function.php);

   Does that work?

   If it is root bbPress folder, you could use what is in config.php

   require_once( BBPATH . 'mysite_function.php' );

   Should be pretty easy......?

   Thanks! I didn't think to include the absolute path. I had the path as www.mysite.com/mysite_function.php, but that didn't work. Thanks for pointing that out.

   You need to include http:// if you use an absolute path!
