Include latest post from WordPress blog on non-WordPress PHP page?

  • Hi,

    My site runs on PHP / Smarty and I have a WordPress blog in a subdirectory.

    I’d like to be able to keep the home page as a “regular” PHP page (not generated out of WordPress) but have a block on the home page that automatically displays a snippet of the latest blog post.

    Know any easy way to do this or examples?

    Thanks!

    Code like this will do it:

    include('./blog-subdirectory/wp-blog-header.php');
query_posts('showposts=1');
while(have_posts()): the_post();
the_title();
the_content();
// whatever you want to display from the post in here
endwhile;

    Basically, just include the WordPress code, manually specify your query, then create a normal Loop.
