Comment on How to add recent Wordpress post exceprts on an external html page by Thomas

I’ve implemented this on my own site and it works like a charm! However, there are two things I would like to configure…

1) Does anyone know how to write an array (without using php foreach) that will assign H tags (H1, H2, H3…) to the post title?

2) Is there an alternate to using maxcharacters? The problem with maxcharacters is that it sometimes trims words before they are complete. Is there a way to trim the content by wordcount, instead?

Does anyone know how this may work with non php pages?

I am re designing the look of a clients site without changing the contents (basically creating a new dream weaver template) Without changing anything inside the editable regions where they have done all their SEO.

All of the site pages are .htm. Most of thier pages rank very strong with the search engines, so thier SEO company does not recomend making any url changes that could effect how they are found.

As part of the new look I have added a column on the right for a quick contact form and to display Blog exerpts and maybe even tweets thier staff make.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Did your database log in info change with hosts? If not, is the url different now?

Please help!! – e-mail would be best

Is it possible to highlight all parts of the code that need changing… I’ve installed this and it’s not working and I’m wondering if there’s something I’ve not changed.

My files are all .php

I’ve got the wp config info in the page.

It’s displaying: : More

Comment on document.getElementById().innerHTML + IE7 can cause problems by Kerry Russo

Kerry Russo — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:06:40 +0000

I found this explanation on a forum:

“You can not write a partial table using innerhtml with IE.
Use proper DOM methods or write a full (valid) table.
