Importing Wordpress Posts to Homepage

[JohnH]

I am looking for a way to call in the recent posts from my blog on my site to the homepage of my site. The blog is wordpress and the site is html/php.

Any help would be much appreciated

I use something like this:

<?php
$args=array('showposts'=>8,'caller_get_posts'=>1 
);$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile;}?>

That will only work if you are inside of wordpress. Functions like WP_Query and the_post only work inside of the wordpress installation.

I believe you need to include the wp-load.php file and a template referrence to make the above code work. The template referrence prevents the entire wordpress theme from loading and the wp-load.php file pulls in the wp-config and associated functions for wordpress.

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-load.php');  //<---Change to your path to wp 

put that code in the header section of the homepage
