# Using WP-PostRatings Outside WordPress

 * I have a WordPress site and a mobile page. The mobile page is it’s own index.
   php file and design, and doesn’t call to WordPress at all.
 * I am attempting to insert the WP-PostRatings as my only WordPress element to 
   this mobile page, but am having some difficulty.
 * Firstly I put the following code in my mobile index.php I am working in to load
   WordPress
 *     ```
       <?php
       include('../wp-load.php');
       ?>
       ```
   
 * And then I insert WP-PostRatings based off shortcode.
 * I see the stars appear.. but they are broken / inactive and not reflecting any
   ratings or data.
 * I also get the following errors
 * `current_rating is not defined`
    `ratings_off is not defined`
 * Only if I include code to `get_header()` and `get_footer()` (I think maybe just
   the footer), they work.
 * The issue is.. I don’t want my WordPress footer, or header on my mobile site.
   It’s supposed to stand on its own.
 * Any help on being able to insert WP-PostRatings without the WordPress footer (
   or header)? Thanks.
