For example:
<?php $numposts = $_POST['showposts']; ?>
<?php $home_query_bottom = new WP_Query("cat=&showposts=$num_posts&offset=5"); $b = 0; ?>
<ul class="thumbs">
<?php while ($home_query_bottom->have_posts()) : $home_query_bottom->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; $b++; ?>
<li class="post-<?php the_ID(); ?> thumb"><?php get_the_image( array( 'custom_key' => array( 'thumbnail' ), 'default_size' => 'thumbnail', 'width' => '160', 'height' => '160' ) ); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); $b = 0; ?>
</ul>
The code above is on its own php file ready to be called by the main wordpress page, however I get an error saying wp_query class not found. I’m assuming it’s because I am not using the header.html which probably has a bunch of includes. What do I need for that page to utilize the wp_query class?
You can turn the template engine off and then include the header.
// Include WordPress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require_once('PATHHERE/wp-blog-header.php');
You have to include the file that has the WordPress functions located on the main directory of the WordPress Installation:
../../../ = path to the main directory on your installation
I found a nice tutorial about this here.
You have to make the page that ajax calls a template page.
Make a new page in your blog and assign the template.
no headers no includes.
This worked for me, maybe it will help someone else.
My situation is I have a js file that uses getScript. In that script i have a bunch of .load() calls to a php file. At the top I place this.
Change the
../to how ever many directories your wp-load file is up.Edit – Using WP 3.4.1
