How to list my latest posts on a seperate HTML site?

You need to include WordPress’s wp-load.php once in a PHP file, then you can access any WordPress function on that page.

Examples:

1) https://blog.syedgakbar.com/2012/07/15/display-recent-posts-outside-the-wordpress/

2) https://chinmoy29.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/display-latest-post-on-static-php-page/

Thanks! I’ll try this out and post here about my success or failure.

Oookay. I’ve made progress, I think, but now I’ve hit a wall.

Here’s the code I came up with:

<?php
/**
 * WoredPress Latest blog entries
 * @package WordPress
 */

require( 'https://mydomain.com/web/blog/wp-load.php' ); // This is where my blog is.

// Load the recent top 3 posts from the category gladiators-news
query_posts( 'category_name=gladiators-news&showposts=3' );
?>

<div id="blogPosts">
    <ul id="blogList">
        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
            <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <li>
                <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
                <?php the_title(); ?></a>
                </li>
            <?php endwhile; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>
</div>

And here’s the HTML I’m using:

<div id="blogPostsWrapper">Loading... </div>

<script  type="text/javascript">
	$.get('/wp-latest-blogs.php', function(data) {
	  $('#blogPostsWrapper').html(data);
	});
</script>

When I tried out the test page, I got an error message in the designated area:

Warning: require() [function.require]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /var/www/clients/client30/web35/web/wp-latest-blogs.php on line 7

Warning: require(https://www.ludocracy.ca/web/blog/wp-load.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /var/www/clients/client30/web35/web/wp-latest-blogs.php on line 7

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘https://www.ludocracy.ca/web/blog/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /var/www/clients/client30/web35/web/wp-latest-blogs.php on line 7

Can anyone help me over the finish line?

PHP 5 has the require/include function for remote files disabled by default:
