Posts from 2 WP blogs on external site

  • Hi all,
    I’m wondering, considering that you must pull the wp-blog-header.php into the external page, if this could be done for multiple WP blogs.

    My attempts to do so resulted in posts only from the 1st include on the page – first come-first serve I guess?

    Is there a way to do this?

    Something like:

    <?php
// Include WordPress #1
require('sportsblog/wp-blog-header.php');
query_posts ('cat=5&meta_key=priority&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC');
?>

<?php
// Include WordPress #1
require('wpnews/wp-blog-header.php');
query_posts ('cat=5&meta_key=priority&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC');
?>

    My PHP/MySQL is not very good so I may be just missing a trick.

    Thanks so much for any advice! ??

    Anyone?

    I guess I could use simplepie to bring in any additional blogs’ info but it’s decisively slower than the loop method.

    Thanks

    Anyone know if, for the second blog, header.php could be changed to header2.php and all references to it changed to find it would work? in other words – the second blog would be operating with header2.php throughout…

    <?php
// Include WordPress #1
require('sportsblog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php
// Include WordPress #2
require('wpnews/wp-blog-header2.php');
?>

    Thanks for any thoughts on this.

    I haven’t set up for 2 blogs like that so I’m not sure

    just making sure you are clear that it’s not referring to header.php from your theme

    It’s referring to wp-blog-header.php which is a core WP file in your WP root

    I would think changing it’s name would make WP very unhappy….but again…no experience in it…..

    Hi RVoodoo,

    Thanks for the reply – I did realize that. I was thinking that if I went into every file, did a search and replace, and changed every instance of wp-blog-header.php to wp-blog-header2.php that it might work – otherwise you are right on about WP being quite angry about the change. ??

    Thanks again!

    yeah….thing with changing that all up like that is, you’ll lose the changes on every WP upgrade….which seems like a giant headache. But not updating WP is an even gianter headache! (It only took me getting hacked once to learn that lesson)

    Yes – good point on the upgrading. That would be TOO big of a headache. ??
