I am trying to get the 2 latest posts from my personal website, using the code below from http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed#Usage
<h2><?php _e( 'Recent news from Some-Other Blog:', 'my-text-domain' ); ?></h2>
<?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
include_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php' );
// Get a SimplePie feed object from the specified feed source.
$rss = fetch_feed( 'THISISWHEREMYURLGOES/' );
$maxitems = 0;
if ( ! is_wp_error( $rss ) ) : // Checks that the object is created correctly
// Figure out how many total items there are, but limit it to 5.
$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity( 2 );
// Build an array of all the items, starting with element 0 (first element).
$rss_items = $rss->get_items( 0, $maxitems );
endif;
?>
<ul>
<?php if ( $maxitems == 0 ) : ?>
<li><?php _e( 'No items', 'my-text-domain' ); ?></li>
<?php else : ?>
<?php // Loop through each feed item and display each item as a hyperlink. ?>
<?php foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) : ?>
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $item->get_permalink() ); ?>"
title="<?php printf( __( 'Posted %s', 'my-text-domain' ), $item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a') ); ?>">
<?php echo esc_html( $item->get_title() ); ?>
<?php printf( __( 'Posted %s', 'my-text-domain' ), $item->get_date('j F Y | g:i a') ); ?>
</a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
With this code, I can get the Posts URL, the title and the date posted, which is great!
Now, trying to get the image is another issue. I am trying to use :
<?php echo esc_html( $item->the_post_thumbnail() ); ?>
But I get the error : Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimplePie_Item::the_post_thumbnail()
So, using SimplePie, is there a way to get the posts image?
MAJOR EDIT:
This way of getting the RSS feed isn't great, it is causing alot of issues throughout the site, so if anyone could show me/direct me to something where I can get the 4 latest posts from another WordPress site, that'd be awesome!
