Thanks MichaelH. That’s exactly what I wanted to know. The first link is what I needed.

MichaelH,

Another question: Is there a trick to querying 3 different wordpress blogs from the same page?

I have three blogs so need to call three different wp-blog-header.php files. I am doing this in a sequential fashion but the code output results from the first wp-blog-header.php for all three instances.

Have a look at https://harmeet.gabha.net/indextwo.php. You will see what I mean.

<div id="heading">My latest <span class="blog">Blogs</span></div>
	<div id="message">
	<div id="blogs">
	<?php require('/home/username/public_html/folder/design/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
	<?php
		$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
		$published_posts= $count_posts->publish;
	?>
	<span>Design Blog<br /><span>(<?php echo $published_posts; ?> posts in 

total)</span></span>
	<ul>
	<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
	<?php endwhile;?>
	</ul>
	</div>

	<div id="blogs">
	<?php require('/home/username/public_html/folder/photography/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
	<?php
		$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
		$published_posts= $count_posts->publish;
	?>
	<span>Photography Blog<br /><span>(<?php echo $published_posts; ?> posts in 

total)</span></span>
	<ul>
	<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
	<?php endwhile;?>
	</ul>
	</div>

	<div id="blogs">
	<?php require('/home/username/public_html/folder/tech/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
	<?php
		$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
		$published_posts= $count_posts->publish;
	?>
	<span>Tech Blog<br /><span>(<?php echo $published_posts; ?> posts in total)

</span></span>
	<ul>
	<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
	<?php endwhile;?>
	</ul>
	</div>

	</div>

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about that…

But maybe a plugin such as:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/

No problem. I think I can write my own function class to call each blog separately and the return back to my page. Once I get it working I will share the code and post a link.

Cheers

Ok. I started creating a class for what I wanted to do but now I am getting this strange error. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::set_prefix() in /home/username/public_html/harmeet/photography/wp-settings.php on line 268

Here is my code. The idea is to create a class and use multiple Objects to initialise. This way using multiple objects I am able to call multiple wp-blog-header.php files and call the necessary functions to do what I want.

I’ve also tried the Full path eg. /home/…./wp-blog-header.php and I get the same error. So I don’t believe its due to this reason.

<?php

class BlogRoll {
	public $wp_header_loc;

	public function __construct($wp_header_loc = '/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'){
		$this->wp_header_loc = $wp_header_loc;

	}
	public function GetPostCount(){
		include $this->wp_header_loc;
		if ($this->wp_header_loc != "")
		{
			$count_posts = wp_count_posts();
			echo $count_posts->publish;
		}

	}

	/*public function GetPostList(){
		include($this->wp_header_loc);
		if($this->wp_header_loc !="")
		{
			$data = array();
			$i=0;
			query_posts('showposts=5');
			while (have_posts()) : the_post();
				//$data($i) = array('Link'=>the_permalink(),
				//					'Title'=>the_title());
			endwhile;
			return $data;
		}
		else
		{
			return NULL;
		}
	}*/
}

$FirstBlog = new BlogRoll('photography/wp-blog-header.php');
// Tried the Full path eg. /home/.... same error.
//$FirstBlog->wp_header_loc = "/home/username/public_html/harmeet/tech/wp-blog-header.php";
echo $FirstBlog->wp_header_loc;
echo $FirstBlog->GetPostCount();

$SecondBlog = new BlogRoll('design/wp-blog-header.php');
//$SecondBlog->wp_header_loc = "/home/username/public_html/harmeet/design/wp-blog-header.php";
echo "SecondBlog" . $SecondBlog->GetPostCount();
?>

Is there anybody out there who can help me with this?

FYI.

To get around this problem I used AJAX to get FEED data from my each site and display it on the page. This way I can call various feeds and display their data on my site.

Hopefully the next version of WordPress will have this basic capability of calling it’s functions from external php pages. LOL!

Resolved.
