I have a separate site & wordpress installed onto that, but WP only resides in the blog/
directory; they both use SEPARATE databases.
Now, I want to load the WP core files so I can load up some WP specific stuff on the homepage, so I went ahead & tried the below..
// Include wordpress core
require(WP_ROOT_PATH . 'wp-load.php');
Now I am getting database errors saying stuff like database1.table1
doesn't exist. (Note these are example names only).
This is likely because now wordpress has opened it's own database connection & now the rest of the site is now running it's queries under the new connection.
The only ways to fix this that I can think of are..
- To add the database resource you want to use to all database calls
- Load the WP data via an iframe so that you only need to load the WP files & hence avoid the other problems
Is there anything else I can do apart from the above!?
