  • This is kindof a clever idea. You’ll need to query the wp_posts table for the most recent title. There are different ways to do this depending on where you put the script. I’d guess you’d want to require_once('path/to/wp-config.php'); and then use $wpdb to grab the title of the most recent post.

    I dont understand php so much, is there way to help me with code?

    Like this? super old ??

    I wouldnt bother with a query for that.

    That looks like it, whooami, but what about the code to generate it?

    I guess you could read an RSS feed instead of query the DB, but you’ve got to get the last post title from somewhere.

    For mine: the title of my last post gets written to a plain text file, and then is feed into a very similar script to above that i wrote.

    Im sorry, I dont share code running on my site here. generic example of how you could do it below, though.

    You could just as easily parse the feed, sure, but I think my code is less bytes ??

    hook into this:

    https://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/wp_insert_post

    $sigpost = $_POST[‘post_title’];
    $fp = fopen(“yourfilename”,”w”);
    $str = $sigpost;
    fwrite ($fp,$str);
    fclose($fp);
    `
    then you read that into an edited version of the script above.

    Thats good idea whooami, but how to make the script above to read first line of some file.

    its more than a good idea — its my idea ??

    but how to make the script above to read first line of some file.

    edit the script –

    fwiw, there are examples of what you just asked for all over the web. How do you think that church sign thing works?
