Thanks for that link. I read as much as i found and came up with the following solution, which results in an empty page. Without that code the page is rendered fine and all phpincludes are rendered, too
Btw. WordPress is running in a subdirectory, might this be the problem? I don’t know how to pass parameters to WordPress from an external page.
Anyway, here’s what I came up with:
<p class="tease">
<!-- loop -->
<?php if ( have_posts() )?: while ( have_posts() )?: the_post();??>
<!-- no styling -->
<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); >
<!-- display last post once -->
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=general&showposts=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts())?: $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;??>
<!-- create linked text, styled title -->
<a href="blog/<?php the_permalink(); ?>"
<span class="subheadsmall">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</span><br>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</a>
<!-- loop end -->
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</p>
Any hint on how to fix this code or accompülish this task will definitely raise your spam karma ;o)
[I guess calling WordPress from the outside could be a reoccuring problem, therefore an article in the codex would probably make sense, too.]
