  I am trying to use mod_wpposts on my joomla 2.5 site to link to the WP blog. It requires Name, Usernames, Password, Host & Prefix to enable it to work. I am using the free WP solution rather than an independent WP site. Does anyone know where I can find these details?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey there,

  Those details are not available for WordPress.com blogs. If you’d like to integrate your blog with Joomla! or another third-party platform that requires direct database access, you’ll need to transfer your blog to a self-hosted WordPress.org install.

  Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

  Best,
  P.

  pcrumm,

  Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I have a bit more work to do for my wife… the client!
