How to include WordPress ?
The key to use WordPress outside the WordPress directory is wp-load.php or wp-blog-header.php file. If you don’t want the WordPress themes, define it to “false”.
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require_once('Absolute Path to wp-load.php');
How to access WordPress functions ?
Once the wp-load.php file is included, the entire WordPress functions is provided to you. Here i will be showing you obtaining recent posts using WordPress functions by running through loop.
$postslist = get_posts($args);
foreach($postslist as $post) {
setup_postdata($post);
$the_title = get_the_title();
$the_link = get_permalink();
$the_content = get_the_excerpt();
print "<a href="$the_link">$the_title</a>";
print "<div class='title'>$the_content</div>";
}
Here am getting the title, link and the excerpt content of the post and printing it.
