title: Using WordPress functions on an external page
body: <p>So I need to grab some data from my main WordPress site and use it on an external page.</p>
  
  <p>My WordPress site is located on the root of my domain while the external page is under /community/library/somethingelse/page.php </p>
  
  <p>Anyway, I use the following code to get access to the function</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php require('/path/to/my/wp-blog-header.php'); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using this gives me the following error when I try to access <code>page.php</code></p>
  
  <p><code>This Plugin Requires WordPress 3.1+ or Greater: Activation Stopped!</code></p>
  
  <p>If someone has a possible solution for this, it would be great!</p>
  
  <p>There are literally no answers that satisfy this question. If anyone could please figure out why this is happening and how to overcome it, it would be great. I still want to use WordPress functions and would not like to access the database directly. </p>
