Question

I have the following site structure
Parent Site
-> blog (wordpress)
-> get-recent-posts.php
-> index.php

I want to display a list of recent posts in the index.php. I am trying to use wordpress api functions in index.php but it is not working. If i try to directly run get-recent-posts.php it shows the posts but if i include it in index.php it does’nt work.

Answer 1

Adding the following code to the top of the page will do the job. The path should be the absolute or relative path to your wp installation.

<?php 
require_once '.blog/wp-load.php';
>
