</div>
backticks

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
query_posts('showposts=1');
?>

posting the above code in the top of the page(html) and then, within the required div, add side-bar <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Coming to the content div, managed to pull the latest post and then placing within the content div. code for the following

<div class="the-center">
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<i> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></i>
<p><?php the_content(); ?></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>

.

Am stuck at the point, where, when clicked on side-bar(archived) titles, page is jumping into wordpress site, rather than staying in the same page and retrieve the required post..!!

any help appreciated!

@jherold the tag line might be commented!! (<!– –>).. get rid of them and have a look!!

@choclate: boy, re-look at your code..!!

a standard wordpress header.php code will be: <title><?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>

copy and paste the above code and leave a rep!!

cheers

michael.. sorry for coming back again.. is it possible to show older posts…!! when only 5 recent are visible in my page at the moment!!

cheers michael.

thanks for your help!

thanks alot.

thanks alot mike.

It’s a great help from your end! “echo substr” is not helping me in any chance. + cant find my previous posts to these recent 5 posts.

Can it be possible to add 1,2,3 buttons in the bottom of the list/sidebar to view previous posts? also only 5 posts visible per list??

cheers,
venkat

oops.. i managed to do that..!! thanks for your help!

This present code is rendering all the posts and full content within side bar. Can it be possible to obtain just date, title and first few words of the posts in side bar??

regards,
venkat.
