    Hi,

    We wish to show the subject title and a few lines of the last few posts on the index page of a site, which is outside the blog.

    We have searched here and there’s lot of php includes but these only work for php includes on blog pages. Can anyone advise how to include a php include line on an external page? (eg this one https://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/recent-posts/branches/wp-1.5 )

    Thanks

    if you are coder then simply fire query from database
    select * from wp_posts order by id desc limit 10.

    Thanks but I’m not a coder. ??

    From other posts, I’ve stumbled my way to a solution … solution for any others coming behind …

    1. Include this in the header of you index.php page (not the blog index.php page)

    <?php

    require(‘/path-to/wp-blog-header.php’);

    ?>

    Must be path, not URL

    2. Add this to where you want headers on index.php page.

    <?php get_archives(‘postbypost’, ‘5’); ?>

    Regards,

    Sally

    After this: <?php get_archives('postbypost', '5'); ?>

    Add this: <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Not only will you get just a link to your post but also a preview of it.

    Hello Dragonpearl,
    I have a page within the system,

    I want to show the last 3 blog posts like this

    <h4>Blog Post Title</h4>
    <p>Blog post text upto 20 words</p>

    How do I create this loop?

    Check here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Integrating_WordPress

    See the “mini-loop” section.

    Perhaps read up on The_Loop as well, if you need more context.

    Hello all.

    I wanted to follow up on this if I could. I can pull the links to all the content in on the home page, but I would also like to pull in the first 20 words or so of each post. (I’ve tried the loop page HandySolo sent, but I seem to just get the same result).

    I am also using permalinks.

    Any ideas?
