import a class from theme directory outside of wordpress.
The CRON I am cronning a daily job via Cpanel for my site that will feed a stats table. I created a file in the root Home/myDirectory (same level as public_html ) beloo is the code
<?php
include dirname(__FILE__) . '/public_html/wp-load.php'; // Load WP Functions
include dirname(__FILE__) . '/public_html/wp-content/themes/cooking/config/Data/ViewsData.php'; // require a class
function test(){
if(class_exists('ViewsData')){
$viewsData = new ViewsData;
$views= $viewsData::getViews(394);
update_post_meta(394 , 'views_test', $views);
}
die();
}
test();
THE CLASS
as shown in the code I am trying to include a class from the theme folder. this class include different functionaries to set , get and update the views data> bellow is an idea of how the class is structured ;
namespace GS\Data;
use GS\DisplayFunc;
class ViewsData {
static function getViews(){}
}
however class_exists('ViewsData')
always return false.
any suggestions on what is wrong. or even on how to reorganize the whole cron solution. the most important is that I need to use many classes from my theme folder.
