How to Include init.php (preferably on the ‘init’ WordPress hook)

March 6, 20231 Views

Hi I’m trying to add some code to allow custom meta boxes on my wordpress site:

It states that I need to include the supplied init.php on the init wordpress hook, but I’m just wondering how to go about this?

Thank you!

```
add_action('init', 'include_init_file');
function include_init_file() {
    // use correct path here
    require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/metabox/init.php';
}
```
the above code goes in theme’s functions.php file. You have to correct the path to init.php file. The example above assumes the path as [theme_directory]/metabox/init.php
