• php

• The relative path here won't be relative to the template file when it gets included in something else, so that isn't going to work. You could switch that to be an absolute path to your registerProcess.php instead, but then you're calling a non-WP PHP file: it might be better to handle the post some other way. – Rup Commented Jun 16, 2020 at 10:03

You can include multiple files in your functions.php. I do this to keep things organized. All my functions are in a functions subfolder, so my functions.php file just looks like this:

require get_template_directory() . '/functions/function-1.php';
require get_template_directory() . '/functions/function-2.php';
require get_template_directory() . '/functions/function-3.php';

If you have functions you only want called on certain pages, for example, you can do this:

if ( is_page( 'registration-form' ) ) :
    require get_template_directory() . '/functions/registration.php';
endif;
