Want to embed WordPress contents on your website?
WordPress is a very flexible system that allows you to easily migrate any functions, widgets and plugins on your website.
To embed WordPress, you need to insert the following tag:
{code}
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
if ($page == "Home") {
require('../wp-blog-header.php');
} else {
require('../wp-blog-header.php');
}
?>{/code}
To Display a summary of post(s) on your page:
{code}
query_posts('showposts=X');
while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
"; ?>
endforeach;
?>
{/code}
Troubleshooting:
There are know issues of getting an error when inserting WordPress Header. Some PHP Server does not allow server includes.
To get around this, is to use relative link
e.g if you install your blog as:
www.yoursite.com/blog/
to link to wordpress header relatively you would use the link as:
../blog/wp-blog-header.php
