    Hi,

    My blog runs at domain.com/blog

    I need to do two things..

    (a) Insert some introductory text from the latest post onto the home page of my site (domain.com/index.php) which is obviously outside the blog

    and

    (b) Insert the latest few posts titles for various categories into specific category pages, again outside the blog pages.

    eg

    Blog Category = Weather

    Last few post titles to be imported into my domain.com/weather.php page

    —

    Can anyone help me, please?

    Thank you.

    Sal.

    Sally,

    I hope you know how to write SQL queries and work with PHP variables. If you do, then you’re in luck – query the WP MySQL db you have setup and inside the wp-posts table will have your post info in it. After that, you’d have to build the link back to your post with PHP (help on building them here)

    Hi justinratwebtek

    I have no idea on how to write SQL queries or work with PHP variables. 🙁

    Sorry!

    I’m really looking for some ‘drop’ in code or plugins. I found this one which lists categories AND excerpts of text and while its very good, doesn’t enable me to only select one category to list.

    Sal.

    Sally,

    I personally don’t know of any external plug’n’play scripts to help out with this option. Hopefully someone else will know more than I on this subject.

    You can include files from the wordpress directory outside of your install, using PHP. I did this just yesterday to apply the header and footer to some pages that I didn’t want to create in WP.

    However, you do need to use a little bit of PHP to do it. I doubt that you will find a plugin that would work outside the WordPress area. (Though hopefully i will be proved wrong.)
