thanks for that,i still have a problem then, iv rad through it all and added the php code mentioned to use wordpress features
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require(‘/……/header.php’);
?>
and i receive the following error when i load the page:
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.pixel-void.com/homee.php. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
require('/....../header.php');
this line is definitely wrong
notice in the example it shows
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
so it links to the wrong file, and
/....../
is also not going to work…. how many directories are you trying to navigate?
that was just an example, i checked the directories and tried that aswell.
im going through /wp-blog-header.php
sorry if im being a noob, started wordpress from scratch last week
you don’t link to
/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyten/header.php
you just link to wp-blog-header.php
it’s a core file which resides in the WordPress root directory, looks like that is blog on your install

here’s another article, the one I used when I linked my non WP site
ok i tried that, i installed wordpress in the directory ‘blog’.
<?php
// Include WordPress
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false);
require(‘./blog/wp-load.php’);
query_posts(‘showposts=1’);
?>
throws up the same error
i have one file in my main directory called header.php and all the other pages include that. just in case that may be the cause of the problem.
ok sorted now. i had the first part of the code in the header file and the second in the page i wanted to display the post, as the header is included in that page i figured it would work, but it wouldnt.
Glad you got it sorted. Seems including WP can be a bit flaky. I had the header code on my non WP page at the very top, and the page would not load, just a blank page. Moved it down just above the </head> tag and everything worked.
