It is possible. You need to create a faucetbox folder in the root directory of wordpress (the same height as /includes folder exists). Then you need to create a template file (1) and put it into the folder of your theme. Put the code of the index.php file of faucetbox  into that template and delete index.php from faucetbox. Then you need to include the faucetbox folder link into the template file (at the start of the file). Use the WP routing (2). Finally, you need to create a page into Wordpress admin panel and use the template file as base template.

Thanks for that mate I'll check that out, the iframe technique does work well, also keeps it in a scrollable box which looks nice on mobiles, if your way works better though I shall be using it!

Sure, putting the faucet into an iframe is a good workaround but if you want to include it naturally into your side you should use the template technique. But it is your decision. Both works! Good luck!

How is WP supposed to help you get visitors? What are you planning to use it for? I know of a couple faucets that bring in $25k+ a month in profit, but that's because they aren't just using the faucet -- you have to use that as a generator for traffic for other parts of your site. Faucets themselves are going to lose money.

As you said, faucets themselves lose money, and if I use WordPress I can expand instead of just keeping the site as a faucet.

In my opinion a lot of it depends on your coding skills. Just a nice Idea or even worse a bad clone of an old Idea won`t help you on your Way up to the passive Income everyone dreams of. But I will keep an eye on this progress cause it is interesting. Let us know when your Faucet gets online.

Cheers for your input mate, should be up in a week or so, I'll post up when its complete.

Hi guys, a little newbie here needing a little help. Been recently getting into the crypto world and recently seen faucetbox which is an easy way into making a faucet site for noobs.

However after extensive reading, due to competition it looks hard to make money with faucets, link that with my poor coding I can't make a site that would be worth visiting, hence the need for WordPress.

My question is does anybody know how to combine faucetbox and WordPress? I have tried putting the faucet files in the wp subdirectory and tried to include them with include("wp-content/faucet/index.php") within a wordpress post. Similarly I have had them outside of the wordpress directory and tried to include the index.php file to try and run in a post but to no avail.

A chap on here told me I could
