This plugin can be used to connect to another wordpress blog. I created this widget to display a list of posts from another blog of mine that resided in a subdomain on the same server. The options you have is to display posts from multiple categories from your sub blog. Lets say that you have a blog '
www.yourblog.com' and another blog named
sub.yourblog.com and you wish to display a list of posts in your '
www.yourblog.com' from '
sub.yourblog.com' what you can do is install the plugin in '
www.yourblog.com' and configure it. This plugin needs some information in order to connect to the database of your other blog. You can find all the needed information in your wp-config.php file of your '
sub.yourblog.com'. In this version you can display a summary of the post and a link to the category that it belongs to.
Basic Features:
- Display a list of posts from another blog with multiple category options, display or not category name, display or not comment count, open post or category in a new window and display or not summary of posts
