Hi,
I'm trying to edit my sidebar.php file in my current them WP is using to display the last # of posts (only the titles) as links.
I tried using the example of http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_WordPress_with_Your_Website but I always get the error on the line that states where the file wp-blog-header can be found.
the error when opening the index blog page where the sidebar should be shown:
// Get the last 3 posts. Warning: require(/blog/folder/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /blog/folder/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 7
So what is wrong? Is there a way to permanently embed a function in my html template page that retrieves the latest few posts everytime an article is displayed on the template page?
the code:
<?php require('/the/path/to/your/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&order=ASC&orderby=post_title'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
