Listing recent posts by subject outside of wordpress

Bumping this.

My site is at https://www.southboundhome.com.
I’d like to pull the recent posts from my WordPress journal, located at https://www.southboundhome.com/journal/ and from my Links blog, at https://www.southboundhome.com/linkage/ to the index.php page of my root directory.

Can this be accomplished fairly easily? I’m quite the php novice.

Yes.

Using that plugin you could do that. To use it as a plugin outside of the wp structure, you will need to include a link to wp-blog-header on the index.php at root, then just use the plugin
<?php rssLinkList('https://www.southboundhome.com/journal/wp-rss2.php'); ?>

@podz:

I’m still getting the fatal error, call to undefined function on teh index.php at root, I’ve left it up to see.

What does the link need to wp-blog-header need to look like on that page? I thought I had written it correctly, but obviously not.

Thanks for the help so far.

On the index.php page where you want the feeds, have this at the top:

<?php
require('https://www.southboundhome.com/journal/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
IF that is the blog that has the rss plugin it should work.
In case your setup is lightly different, it just needs the require to point at the blog-header file.

Eh, I’m still not getting it to work. I’m getting multiple call errors, and don’t seem to be making any progress. Thanks for trying to help, but I think it’s time for me to give up for a bit.

Hi Southbound

I had exactly the same problems as you – I solved them by using the absolute server path for the site, i.e.
‘require(‘/home/virtual/siteX/fst/var/www/html/news/blog-header.php’);’
rather than the URL. This method is also needed in the file rssLinkList.php for the lastRSSPath and cacheDirectory paths.
