thanks again for all the help

hey everyone

thanks for all your help

i have done now what i set out to do

https://www.amateurillustrator.com/index.php

the news box shows the last 12 news posts with the date next to it.

Thanks everyone:

here is the code i used by the way: (this was stuck into the homepage)

<?php
require(‘./articles/wp-config.php’);
?>

<?php
$posts = get_posts(“category=4” . “&numberposts=12”);
if( $posts ) :
?>

<div class=”recent-posts”>

<?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php
$even_odd = ( ‘odd’ != $even_odd ) ? ‘odd’ : ”;
?>
<li class=”<?php echo $even_odd; ?>”><?php the_time(‘d/m/y’) ?> – ” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

thanks everyone i think i have got it now

Thanks

ooop ive got something now

hi i have tried this using rss2html

<?php
include ‘https://www.amateurillustrator.com/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=amateurillustrator.com/articles/wp-rss.php&TEMPLATE=https://www.amateurillustrator.com/sample-template.html&MAXITEMS=12&#8217;;
?>

you can see what happens here:

it just says: Unable to open RSS Feed wp-rss.php, exiting

any ideas

Thanks

Nick ??

Hi Ryan

this looks useful but i can’t seem to work out what to do with it…where do I put this code? is it unrelated to rss2html?

thanks

Nick

cheers for your help…i’ll spend a while now figuring it out ??

cool thanks…i thought it might be something to do with rss but i have no idea how to use it.

Is it possible to only output the last 12 from one particular category…eg the news category?
