July 18, 201016 yr Hi, I'm trying to add a wordpress feed to one of my columns on my website. I would like to be able to for example show the last 5 blog posts on my site to keep the content fresh. I've found loads of tutorials on using include tags for example but can't get any of them working. My beta site is located at - www.tech-ideas.net/test.php. As you can see as soon as you click it you get my error. I think something must be wrong with the php but I don't know enough to correct it. My blog I want to get the feed from is at www.blog.tech-ideas.net Can anyone see what's wrong with it? The only thing I can think is the link to the WP header ins't correct. The source for the site is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-GB"> <head> <title>Tech-Ideas</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <?php // Include Wordpress define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); include('./subdomains/blog/httpdocs/wp-blog-header.php'); query_posts('showposts=1'); ?> <div id="header"> <center><img src="header.png" width="500" height="100" alt="Header - Page title" /> </center> </div> <div id="nav" align="center"> <ul class="tab"> <li class="active"><a href="index.html"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li><a href="about.html"><span>About Us</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.blog.tech-ideas.net"><span>Blog</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.tutorials.tech-ideas.net"><span>Tutorial Articles</span></a></li> <li><a href="www.forum.tech-ideas.net"><span>Tech-Ideas Forum</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="colmask threecol"> <div class="colmid"> <div class="colleft"> <div class="col1"> <!-- Column 1 start --> <h1>Welcome</h1> <img src="perfect-3-column-dimensions.gif" width="350" height="370" alt="Three column layout dimensions" /> <p class="dropcaps">Hello and welcome to Tech-Ideas!. </br> Tech-Ideas is a new site available to help you along with PC problems small or large.

July 18, 201016 yr try uploading your page again, at the moment it looks like its trying to load a file from your harddrive No such file or directory in [b]C:\Inetpub\vhosts\tech-ideas.net\httpdocs\test.php[/b]
July 18, 201016 yr Author Unfortunatley it doesn't seem to work when I re upload. I change the name and now it load when you put the default url in - www.tech-ideas.net - but it still seems to be pointing there. the only other thought I have is that the server is a virtual server share running Windows, which is the only other reason I could see for it to be pointing to a url like that. Any other ideas?
July 19, 201016 yr Author Ah got it working mostly! I used the directory to C: it was pointin to and instead added the rest of the server directory on the end giving: include('C:\Inetpub\vhosts\tech-ideas.net\subdomains\blog\httpdocs\wp-blog-header.php'); Now its displaying posts where I need! Thanks for the help.
