Question about PHP sites and WP

  • Hi, good morning, well, this is my first post, I have a question, I did a website with PHP and MySQL, later, my client installed a version of WP on a sub folder, like, domain.com/Blog he’s asking me to, using some kind of data, place the first 3 or 4 entries in the PHP website and then the link to the Blog, how can I achieve this? is there a way that I can use some kind os sepacial Wp tags that I can place in the index page on the PHP site and then, share the data? any idea? any help?

    Thanks so much!

    Bump!

    Within your site you can turn any php page into a WordPress enabled page by adding

    require_once(‘./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);

    Once you’ve done that, you can reference posts, etc.. using WordPress tags just as if you were writing a template.

    Hi mrmist, thanks for that, actually I already did that, but isn’t working, I’m not receiving a single bit of data, I tried with

    `<?php
    require_once(‘Blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>`

    and

    <?php
    require_once('./Blog/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    it’s probably a path issue

    ./Blog/wp-blog-header.php

    would indicate the same folder as the file you are creating.

    try just

    /Blog/wp-blog-header.php

    and be sure that is at the top of your new file. Most sites are case-sensitive too, so be sure it’s Blog and not blog, or vice versus.

    Hi myinstinctwaswrong, thanks a lot, yes, that might be one thing, the other question is, where can I take the tags in order to display at least the last 2 posts from the blog?

    Thanks a lot

    my client installed a version of WP

    Earn your money!!! Use the docs!!!!

    ./Blog/wp-blog-header.php

    would indicate the same folder as the file you are creating.

    try just

    /Blog/wp-blog-header.php

    I did provide a working sample piece of code based on the information I was given (IE wanting to load a wp header file from a subdirectory called Blog which is called from a file in the root). Of course /Blog would work in that scenerio too.

    Note, though, that neither would actually result in anything, you’d still actually have to call the relevant functions to get blog-like output. My line just includes the file.

    As whoami says, use the documentation to find out what to put to display various articles/links, or look at your existing WordPress templates for examples.
