  • Is your HTML site and the WordPress site on the same host? –  Jun 07 '18 at 22:20
  • Yes my website and Wordpress are hosted at the same site.. I have my main .com and the Wordpress is installed to the .com/blog folder – Taz Conway Jun 07 '18 at 23:36
  • Is the blog myurl.com/blog already an existing WordPress site or are you trying to create it? –  Jun 08 '18 at 01:17

The simplest method is in the WordPress Codex: Integrating WordPress with Your Website « WordPress Codex.

It doesn't get any simpler. Call the wp-blog-header.php file in the header of the index.html file of your html site.

<?php 
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

And then use a standard loop to load posts on the page you want to show the posts:

<?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) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<?php the_date(); echo "<br />"; ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>    
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> 
<?php
endforeach;
?>

Update:

To determine if PHP is running on your server, use FTP to upload a plain text file called phpinfo.php with only this line in it and no whitespace at the top of the file:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then go to yoursite.com/phpinfo.php - or yoursite.com/somefolder/phpinfo.php and you should see a screenfull of PHP configurations. If you don't, PHP is not running. Ask GoDaddy about it.

  • this doesn't work for me, its like the php doesn't work within my html site/ – Taz Conway Jun 07 '18 at 21:33
  • What's the webhost? Is php enabled? – BlueDogRanch Jun 07 '18 at 23:02
  • hi, it says I have PHP Version 7.1.16 when I uploaded the php file so it is enabled... the loop for whatever reason doesn't seem to work :/ – Taz Conway Jun 10 '18 at 11:45
  • where is the header of the index.html file, I have been putting the first piece of code at the extreme top of the index.html file, should I located somewhere lower? – Taz Conway Jun 10 '18 at 11:52
  • Ok, php is running. The header call goes at the top of index.html, with the `` around it. You should look in your php error log to see what might be wrong; where the log is depends on your system. – BlueDogRanch Jun 11 '18 at 02:01
  • hi, I have contacted my host provider and they advised you can only use php within a .php file and not into html.. would you know if this is correct? – Taz Conway Jun 13 '18 at 23:12
