Integrating wordpress

  • I recently switched from another news script to wp. I plan on using wordpress solely for news/updates.

    The thing is my site is set up using global variables. The index page is a front controller.

    My question is, how would I integrate wordpress with the current setup?

    With my current news script this is the path in the index that displays the news:

    if($go == "" || $go == "home") {
       include('include/header.php');
       $number=7;
       include("/home/sitename/public_html/news/show_news.php");
       include('include/footer.php');

    What would the path be to display the wordpress updates on the index page?

    Any help would be immensely appreciated!

  • The easiest way would be to paste a feedreader widget on your homepage, then point that to republish your wordpress feed. Feedburner has a feature called Buzzboost that does this.

    The second way is to add this line

    <?php require('./path-to-your-blog/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

    in your homepage index.php and then paste the snippet in your WP templates that shows ‘Recent Posts’.

    Thanks for your help, but neither work with the structure of the site (see the snippet I originally gave)

    Any other advice would be immensely appreciated!

    Anyone, please?

    Again, still wanting to know what exactly do I add to the frontcontroller for it to display the wordpress posts.

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
