• I have this website (www.site-name.com) and my wordpress blog is under http://www.site-name.com/blog/. I would like the most recent posting on the blog to be displayed to http://www.site-name.com; kind of like a “recent news” section on the main page.

    Is there any way I can use the wordpress functions to accomplish this? I’ve searched through the forums, but is there another thread that discusses this?

    I hope my question is clear enough. Let me know if you are confused.

  • you can parse your rss feeds there. Magpie RSS might helps.

    There is no way to use the wordpress functions [i.e. the_post(), the_content()] at all?

    I would Run the feed thru Feedburner..then You can use “Buzzboost” to republish the feed as Html and limit the posts listed to one feed….then paste the script wherever U want the feed showing….

    I have done this on my bud’s site:

    http://www.georgethirteen.com/home.html

    I have tried alot of RSS to HTML generators online….but feedburner’s HTML can be reformatted to match the site wherever U post it… by adding your own formatting b4 the script

    I’ve tried the rss-free method, but get left with this:

    http://www.londonthamesfencingclub.com/home.php, no matter what I do with the dratted links.

    the wp install is in a sub-folder, LTFCNews, and there’s nothing I can do to get to it for some reason. Help would be cool! CHeers

    Feedburner just uses the Rss to make a Javascript that calls the PLAIN HTML that will adhere to your page style…no coding only clicks..8 ) works well

    I’ve tried the rss-free method, but get left with this

    Interesting error:

    considering your blog still works.

    Kafkaesqui, that link was exactly what i was looking for! The instructions on that page worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

    weird I know – am really not sure I know what’s going on there – maybe its cos of permissions and log-ins?

    Any ideas?

    I generally recommend something like CG-FeedRead for aggregating posts outside of WP. First, you are pulling in ALL of WP (or a lot) to just show a little text and a link. Second, you are live-querying each time your homepage loads. An aggregator like FeedRead will pull an excerpt from your RSS, and can cache the HTML so that only when it expires does it re-check the RSS for updates. Very fast, very low overhead.

    -d

    will feedread work with the latest version of wp?

    I’m getting a bad error here:

    strongWarning: main(/home/sites/londonthamesfencingclub.com/public_html/LTFCNews/wp-content/plugins/cg-plugins/helper_fns.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sites/londonthamesfencingclub.com/public_html/LTFCNews/wp-content/plugins/cg-feedread-plugin.php on line 17

    Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/sites/londonthamesfencingclub.com/public_html/LTFCNews/wp-content/plugins/cg-plugins/helper_fns.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/sites/londonthamesfencingclub.com/public_html/LTFCNews/wp-content/plugins/cg-feedread-plugin.php on line 17strong

    Is it something to do with my host? When I upload it has to go into http://www.londonthamesfencingclub.com/public_html but appears as http://www.londonthamesfencingclub.com/

    Help? I’d really like to get this working at some point.

    no one?

    I still think u should try feedburner..I am pretty sure they cache stuff also but not sure what U looking for or what U R trying to avoid….
