Integrate WordPress Feed with Non-WP site

There are various articles (find using the search function, upper right) about this over the last few months. Search for “The Loop” and “CG Feedread”.

Heh, a lot of folks trying to figure this out.

You can use something like my CG-FeedRead script/plugin, and just show 1 post from the feed. Just grab the CG-PowerPack of scripts, and set it up on your website (copy the files up, make the cg-plugins/cache_feedread folder writeable…).

Then, you just do something like this on your main PHP page:

$path = dirname(__FILE__).'/';
$plugin = 'wp-15/wp-content/plugins/cg-plugins/cg-feedread.php';
if (file_exists($path.$plugin))
{
include($path.$plugin);
if (function_exists('getSomeFeed'))
{
$feedUrl = "https://www.chait.net/wp-rss2.php";
$feedOut = getSomeFeed($feedUrl, 1, 1, "feed-cdn");
if (!empty($feedOut)) echo $feedOut;
}
else
echo "CG-FeedRead script didn't initialize properly.";
}
else
echo "Couldn't access CG-FeedRead script.";


$refplugin should point to the sub-path all the way down to the cg-feedread.php script.

The ‘feed-cdn’ string can be any identifier for the feed’s cache file.

The first [1] is to pull just one item. If you want more than one, use a higher number.

The second [1] is a ‘styling’ thing. If in main body area, use 1, if sidebar probably use 0.

The system CACHES the content. So once cached, it won’t refresh, even if you change options, until the cache expires. You can try passing an empty string for the cache file identifier, or if you need to play with stuff I can show you how to set the cache-refresh to something ‘silly’, like 5 seconds.. ??

Thanks for the responses. I found a simpler solution over at https://www.globalsyndication.com/rss-parser

use the location of wp-rss.php on your server for the URL and viola! It creates the necessary code you need. Drop it into your site anywhere, or call it as an include.

It will auto update as you add new posts.

I tried to set up the rss-parser and it just won’t work for me. Is there some setting or something that I missed.
