Hello everyone

I am trying to display posts outside of my WP by using the following code:
```
<?php require('wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		blabla / loop
	</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
```
saved as newest.php in the WP folder, which resides under domain/blog/. The file works just as intented when I open it. But then I am trying to include that file into my CMS, which resides under domain/cms/

include("../blog/newest.php");

and I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function set_prefix() on a non-object in /www/htdocs/w008c40e/blog/wp-settings.php on line 209

I have searched this forum, googled, but I can't come up with a solution to this problem. Could it be that the CMS (made simple) and WP just can't get along? Thank you very much for your help.

I'm doing something similar and getting the same error.

Did you ever solve the problem?

Same problem here. if make up a plain php file like this one:
```
<?php
require_once('wp-config.php');
?>
```
I get the same error. Any clue?

Running into the same thing. Pulling the include from the same directory (root of the blog) seems to work, though.

Just fot the hell of it, I just tried it as per Aldarion's code, no problem, works fine.

I get this printed out

blabla / loop
blabla / loop
blabla / loop

Might be you guys have been tweaking some files or check your table prefix is set in wp-config or something.

Thanks for the feedback, hotkee. Can you confirm you tried it from a directory outside of WordPress?

For instance, my setup has WordPress in the root of the domain, and I don't get the error if I try to include from there, but I have an "ads" subdirectory (which is the location I really need to call from) and that's when I get the error.

I can confirm that I have standard table prefix (and it's listed in the wp-config.php file) and no core mods at all.

I did this

<?php require('../home/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<?php query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		blabla / loop
	</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

my install is /home
created /h2 and put a file in there and it works fine
also amended it to be called from / and works

Do not include the config file directly. Include the wp-blog-header.php file instead.

Hi all

I'm now getting the same thing (WP 2.6.2)

WP works fine when i go to it's page (or admin etc), but this is being included in another PHP app (which i didn't write) and it seems it looses the "global-ness" of $wpdb, hence it being a non-object (actually uninitialized).

If i declare "global $wpdb" in the function that includes "wordpress/wp-blog-header.php" it gets past this problem but fails later on the $wp object, for the same reason (and the same hack doesn't fix it)

I think it's something to do with the directory structure of the site - index.php includes "classes/class.php", which includes "wordpress/etc" and when it then gets inside "wordpress/wp-includes" the scope of what's global changes... and i'm stumped too (sorry).

I'll carry on kludging (going to play with includes/requires), but if anyone knows more... we'd all be ever so grateful!

Yours, hoping...

If you're including WordPress from another app, then you have to include it from the global scope, and not a function scope. WordPress expects to be in global scope when in the main application, if you include it from inside a function, all the scoping changes.

Hmm - found a sort of fix for me (typical! :)

I moved the include/require statement out of the function it was in (seemed to work ok with old WP - 2.1 i think) and into the global scope (like in index.php). This is because everything that's declared in a file included inside a function is local to that function (i RTFM'd some more)

Hope that's a clue enough for others - now i must get on, that that's just about wasted my day!

So far, it work out well for me. I've got the following code:
```
<div>
<?php require('../httpdocs/blogue/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<?php query_posts('showposts=5'); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
loop.
	</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
```
in a file called colonex.php. I include this file on my index.php with a basic include command. But now I'm a wrench.
The "loop." appears as many times as I want it to. (I'm pretty new to this, so please dont hit me!)
But how do I replace it with my posts?
(told ya...)
