Hello everyone

Ok so here is my dilemma. I have done some search and still no luck getting this to work.

I have a sub site... (forums.website.com) which has my forums. I then have wordpress installed on just (website.com).

I would like to be able to show the latest threads from the forum on the other site. I have everything turned on in my external data provider section.

Can someone point me in the right direction for this? Are there some plugins I would need to install on wordpress?

Thanks, :up:
Jason

Thanks for the info Lynne...

I tried some of the rss ones already. Gave the XML one a shot.

got these errors

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /nfs/c03/h02/mnt/52567/domains/xxxxxxxxxxxx/html/test.php on line 95

ok that fixed the issue. Thanks Lynne for the links.. the code there is perfect. The issue was:

the php.ini file on my server. Fortunately I was able to edit this myself to say ( allow_url_fopen = 1 ) problem solved.
