<blockquote>
<p>Note that all file paths (not URLs) are <strong>relative</strong> 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 <code>url="file://dir/file.html"</code> and <code>file="/dir/file.html"</code> are both read as wordpress/wp-contents/dir/file.html. The <code>..</code> folder name is also stripped from file paths to prevent backing out of the wp-content/ folder.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>Shortcode Name</h4>
<p>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’).</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WPFGC_SHORTCODE_NAME', 'include' );
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcode Examples</h4>
<pre><code>&#91;wpfgc url="http://example.com/dir/file.html"&#93;

&#91;wpfgc url="http://example.com/counter/" cache="7200"&#93;

&#91;wpfgc url="file://dir/file.html"&#93;

&#91;wpfgc file="/dir/file.txt" pre="true" filter="my_custom_filter_name" cache="600"&#93;

&#91;wpfgc file="examples/example-1.php" code_lang="php"&#93;
</code></pre>
