<p>Includes a file’s contents in the widget. Quick and dirty, all this does is use the PHP include function to include the specified file in the widget. There is NO checking done whatsoever on the file, so use it at your own risk. I wrote this because I couldn’t find a widget to do this ? plugins exist for using include in posts and pages, but not in widgets.</p>

<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>
