    Hello,
    I have searched for this but I am finding nothing.
    I want to import WordPress posts into my standard HTML website. I do not want to run the website using WP.

    All I want is to have posts appear in my current site that appear in a blog that a colleague writes, and I would like for the new posts to appear in the website as they are created on the WP site.

    To break it down further:
    I run mywebsite.com, an HTML based website that does not use WP in any form.
    My colleague runs myWPblog.com using WP installed on the server.
    I would like for the posts on myWPblog.com to appear in a certain area on mywebsite.com.

    Can this be done without running my entire site on WP? I do not have any desire to convert to WordPress, and indeed such a platform is not suitable for mywebsite.com.

    Thanks,
    Barbra

    Is the blog completely independent from the website? If it isn’t why don’t you just install WordPress into a sub directory of the website and run the blog that way?

    @dmd54 – Yes, the blog is run from a different server in a different city and has no relationship to my website.
    But that being said, I suppose I could get the blogger to change over to my server and run it from there…
    but my original question still stands regardless of where the blog is administered from….
    How do I get the posts ported into my pages? I want the posts to appear as a part of my site, imbedded into a certain area on a static HTML page but updated as the blogger updates. Meaning as he adds new posts they should appear in the section of my page designated for that.
    Sort of the way you can ad a twitter feed to a static HTML site.

    Without having your site built using WordPrss I’m unaware if what you want to do is possible. If your site was using WordPress then you could follow the below example, pulling the blogs RSS feed into your site to display posts. This would keep you from having to move the blog to your server.

    If you moved the blog to your server, you would still have to have your site in WordPress so that you could use a query loop to pull posts to specific pages of your website.

    It’s possible to do this, but it’s not something a beginner would be able to do.

    What you need to do is create a plugin for yourself that hooks just after page creation and has the ability to create it’s own HTML file, then place that file on the remote server. Getting it on the remot server would most likely done through FTP (PHP can automate this for you) but there’s other options depending on the capabilities of the remote server.

    Like I said, it’s not a starters project, but it is possible to do if you want to put in the effort.

    @dmd54 – Thanks, you managed to find the solution inadvertently. The first link you posted links to instructions on how to move WP posts into a static website. Thanks 🙂
