Calling files outside the script directory

[sitebee]

Hello, hopefully someone could help me here!

I`m trying to style the Chevereto script to match my website.

I regularly update the header and footer so having a static header / footer and stylesheet inside the image hosting script theme directory is not an option for me.

For example I have myBB / Wordpress and off site content using the same header and footer files being called in with either php include or curl.

Example

<!-- include header -->
<?php include_once("../../includes/header.php") ?>             
<!-- end include header -->
            <!-- navigation -->
        <?php include_once("../../includes/nav.php") ?>
            <!-- end of navigation -->

I want to call the files externally, which for some reason is not working. I have the correct path`s and have double checked them. They are not being called in!

Any suggestions to get them to work?

Kind Regards,

Chris.
