iPage without telling anyone messed up the following things in PHP, when you use INCLUDE in php it gets blocked by default. You will get some random error and if you're lucky you'll maybe get this (03-01-2023 their server errors don't always show properly, beware using them)
https://www1.ipage.com/controlpanel/advanced-tools/
then go to CGI and Scripted Language Support
choose the PHP Scripting | Make your site dynamic with PHP. icon and you will see PHP 7.4 as part of the drop down, etc...
look for the code that treats includes and change it from OFF to ON and then don't forget to press the SAVE button.
Your includes will work again. They didn't even bother to tell anyone they changed it. IPOWER and IPAGE are in the same bigger company umbrella. For the cheap price, they're good but ipower does sneaky stuff with memory and scripting and ipage is even worse at times.
you can go to your shared server control panel when you're logged in:Internal Server Error
