There is a great plug-in available now called Template Sync.

Basically you add a couple bits of code to your header.php and footer.php, then hit a button and shazam, a html version of the files is created. from there it is a simple inclufe file in the .tpl files and you’re up and running. If you update any parts, simply hit the button and it generates a new file… wish I found this days ago.

this variant does not approach me.

has anyone worked out an answer to this.
Im still struggling. would like to find a way besides for saving the website as html via a browser and then including the html file with the wordpress css.
Need to do this from another server.

Please advise

Thanks

im trying to make a normal php file include the wordpress header and footer so it looks like part of a site.

i created a test.php file on http://www.pcnetwork.co.za as follows:

<?php
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
get_header();
print "hello";
print "”;
print “”;
get_footer()
?>

works perfectly
but i want to do this from a external server so i changed the path to the path of the server eg
include(‘http://www.pcnetwork.co.za/wp-blog-header.php‘);

this however throws an error:

Warning: include(http://www.pcnetwork.co.za/wp-blog-header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /var/www/intranet/test/test.php on line 12

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘http://www.pcnetwork.co.za/wp-blog-header.php‘ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /var/www/intranet/test/test.php on line 12

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /var/www/intranet/test/test.php on line 13

ANY suggestions would be great.

thanks.

i have installed wp ” siteroot/blog”
i’m trying to change the “php get footer” on the bottom of the wp index.php to instead link to a footer.php i’m using throught my entire site which is located on the root of my main site
eg

/blog
/images
/myheader.php
/myindex.php
/myfooter.php

Ive tried “”
and also tried it as an absolute link.. doesnt work

There you go people; Its a half way house. It stops you from iframing, and when used correctly, you have a one click update to sync the headers and footers.

WP 3.0.1 compatible.

It is NOT plug and play – you’ll stil need toget your hands dirty.
