I'm still getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/hu/public_html/MyBBLatest.class.php on line 13

Why the { kill it anyway?

it's impossible to get this error. you had to made a mistake while copying class content. please, give me 13 line of your class file.

I would hope so, but it doesn't look I have.

i'm so confused. which PHP version do you have?

Me too.. I have 5.2.5.

i really have no idea

Where am I supposed to put the class? Its on my website's account right now, not the forum. How should I specify the path to inc/config.php?

You're can have account access is you think it'll help.

Good work, marines! Works very well for me!

Hi there,

I have a wordpress blog in the root (eg: mysite.com) and I have the mybb forum in a subdomain (eg: forums.mydomain.com). I want to show the latest mybb forum posts in my wordpress sidebar. I have tried this and other topics but nothing helped. I also posted it in the support forums but nobody replied.

Please help how to show the last mybb forum posts in my wordpress sidebar.

just edit "sidebar" template and use code from the examples somewhere between "<?php" and "?>" tags. AFAIK wordpress's templates allow PHP in their content.
