We have a WP blog added to our site. The easiest way to install & configure it was to put it into the /blog/ folder.
The blog works fine - going to http://www.myexamplesite.com takes you to the shop, going to http://www.myexamplesite.com/blog/ takes you to the blog.

Now, I would like to display the current blog headlines on the home page. Problem is, since the WordPress installation is "downstream" from the main site, I can't seem to be able to transport the blog content "up 1 level".

Has anyone here integrated OC with WP as an add-on (subfolder), and was able to display WP content in OC pages? If so, please let me know how you did it!

I have a work-around - using RSS to publish a headline feed, then using a "feedburner" type thing to generate a JavaScript and insert it in the home page. However, this is not optimal, since the extra JS slows down the page, and it's very slow to update the headlines anyway. There HAS to be a way to copy my own content, without having to send it out to a 3rd party & then re-integrate it back into my own site.

I'm using OC 1.4.7 (yes, I know it's old, but it's very customized and I don't have the time to re-cut 1.5.x to our style).

If some one finds an easy way, that would be great.
Been trying to integrate the two for a while now.
Have made great progress, but can't seem to get that last mile.

You could always use the fact wordpress creates an RSS feed with your posts..

As then you are looking for "display RSS feed on opencart" rather than "display wordpress posts on oepncart"
