<?php define('wp_use_themes', false); require('../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); query_posts('showposts=3'); ?>  <?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?> <div class="wordpress-post"> <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"> <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> <p><a class="read-more" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="red">read more</a></p> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> 

thanks in advance!

you cannot mix php , twig code in given twig template. should query posts in php file , pass variable twig variable render results.

by way, equivalent twig template following:

{% the_post in posts %}     <div class="wordpress-post">         {% if the_post.thumbnail defined %}             <a href="{{ the_post.permalink }}" title="{{ the_post.title }}">                 {{ the_post.thumbnail }}             </a>         {% endif %}          <h2>{{ the_post.title }}</h2>         {{ the_post.excerpt }}          <p><a class="read-more" href="{{ the_post.permalink }}" class="red">read more</a></p>     </div> {% endfor %} 

to render template in php application, first make sure twig lib installed. then, in php file, following:

<?php require_once '/path/to/lib/twig/autoloader.php'; twig_autoloader::register();  $loader = new twig_loader_filesystem('/path/to/templates/directory'); $twig = new twig_environment($loader);  // query database posts , save result in $posts variable $posts = ...  echo $twig->render('template_name.html', array('posts' => $posts));
