Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to WP and PHP. What I'm trying to do is have this function <?php the_title();?> in my include which I have inserted into my post. I have used the runPHP plugin to allow me to add PHP to my posts so that part is working.
If anyone could give me a hard that would be great!

Cheers

my include

Huh? Can you elaborate, just a tad? Are you wanting to display code in a post? Or use it in a post?

What I want to happen is to have a separate php file which I’ll include into my posts.

In the php include file I want to display the post title which is <?php the_title();?>
So every time I include this file it will be the same information apart from the post title.

Let me know if it’s still not clear. Thanks so much.

The separate script file you're including would have to be 'WP-enabled' for it to use a WordPress function like the_title(). So make sure it first includes the wp-blog-header.php file (from your blog's root) before it does any WP-ish stuff.

Note: To avoid any conflicts, use include_once().

Thanks for that! I nearly have it. I have the include working but the <?php the_title();?> is calling the title of the first post in the index page and not the title of the current post. How can I force it to call the current "post title"?

This is roughly what I have:

'<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../../../wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<div class="postDownBox">
<div class="malbox"><?php the_title();?> malicious properties:
<ul class="malProperties">
