Improved Include Page Plugin problem
Let me say, right up front, that I am a total newbie to WordPress and that I am aware that my problem is almost certainly a result of my own ignorance.
I have installed and activated the Improved Include Page Plugin. WordPress is installed at http://andoverexchange.com/WordPress. I am trying to include the content of a WordPress page on the home page of the web site (http://www.andoverexchange.com/index.php). I have added the require statement at the top of the page to invoke wp-blog-header.php. However, no matter what syntax I use, I cannot get the content of the WordPress page to appear. The argument `<?php if(function_exists('iinclu
just yields none of the content, but leaves the rest of the page intact. Any of the other methods suggested on the plugin installation page gets me a totally blank page.
I have attached the code for the page in question.
So that you can see where I am trying to include the content from the WordPress page, I have published an alternate version of the home page that includes the attempt to invoke the page include.
http://www.andoverexchange.com/include_test.php
So, O wise and merciful WordPress wizards, what am I doing wrong?

Did you test using the shortcode in the post or page itself to be sure the plugin isn't completely failing?
What I mean is to edit your page in the wp-admin and add: [include-page id="5"] somewhere then update the page.
If that still doesn't work, it's more likely to be a plugin conflict, a theme problem, or an issue with the plugin itself.

I'm a bit confused ... maybe I need to clarify:
I integrated WordPress into a pre-existing web site. I am trying to pull the content of a WordPress page into a specific area of the Home Page for the main web site, namely www.andoverexchange.com/index.php -- not the main blog page, which is www.andoverexchange.com/WordPress/index.php.
I would not be editing the Home Page for the web site through the wp-admin dashboard.
All I want to so is to make a specific area of the Home Page -- namely, the text in the very center of the page, above the two columns of linked images -- editable through WordPress. From what I have read, I think this is possible, but maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'm just going about it the wrong way.
Thanks for your time and help.
