I'm trying to move my site from Joomla to Wordpress. I'm not a developer and I'm not that well versed with Joomla. I've already recreated the entire site in Wordpress and I don't care too much about SEO. I've had a look at the migration plugin in WP but it's not doing what I need it to do.
Currently, my Joomla site address is: http://myfakesite.com/index.php?lang=en. My WP site resides at http://myfakesite.com/wp/
I've already tried the redirection option from within Joomla but it's not working.
I intend to completely remove Joomla from my server and its database too. How should I proceed?
Use WP all import free plugin by Soflyy.
Its very good way for transfer data with true format,
For first you must export all Joomla data in XML file,
I think its easy. You can find plugin from this link

So i just want to know if the following is possible, and maybe if any help or links to any form of help is available.
What i have/need : I have a live site that i want to slowly start building over again, i want to integrate my local host custom theme site into the live site replacing the section i rebuild.
So i created my own custom theme WordPress website on my local and build a section of of my live website over. Its just because i want to slowly start building the whole live site over but starting at a point.
So now i want to integrate this section into my live wordpress site? That means replacing my current section with this new section.
Is this possible and how can i approach this?
Also i need the custom WP theme to stay as is even though i replaced it with the live section because my client can edit the site on his own with my custom theme.
you should use Version Control for developing the new site.
choose any thing like svn /git. if you have not used anything like this, use hosted SVN, that's simple. something like assembla/beanstalk. anything.
Simply put all your WP code to trunk and create a branch from it. later you can merge the code to trunk.
you will create 2 hosts in your local for testing.
you will checkout the code on your live server.
I'm building a Wordpress site for a friend, and she asked me to "put the old site back up" while I'm working on the WP site. The old site lives in a /verb subfolder, so I put a PHP redirect in the domain/index.php page to the domain/verb folder.
Now, when I go to work on the WP site, it just redirects to the old site. Is there a better way to do this? I need a way to develop the WP site while visitors are sent to the old site.
Note: Her site is on godaddy, which means I didn't install WP myself and can't really move the WP installation to a sandbox area while I'm working on it. Is there an .htaccess trick I could be doing, maybe?
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure i've used a plugin before that allowed me (when logged in as an admin in WP) to view the site using a different theme than the one the rest of the world is seeing.
You could copy the active theme and change the name, making your alterations on the new theme while leaving the currently active theme untouched.
This would only work if you were re-skinning the site and not modifying any of the database content.
A quick google search came up with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-test-drive/, but there may be others out there...
I already designed a layout, see the picture below.
I want to integrate Wordpress into my layout, I downloaded Wordpress and already installed it: I put the wordpress folder inside XAMPP's htdocs. My website folder is studentportal.com.
I don't know how to start, I don't have any ideas to integrate Wordpress to my own customized site. I'm new to HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, and Wordpress.
After installing the wordpress(should mention db name password etc when it's asked or should customise wp-config file in your wordpress folder), you will be able to access the backend of your website through the www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
There are different ways to create pages and posts(where we enter the data). So it's better to go through wordpress tutorials. I can help you by providing a tutorial file, from which I studied the wordpress(mail me, if it's required: vivek.kjk#gmail.com). There are many sites which provide the tutorials for wordpress. Just try Googling, you will find a good one for sure. So that you can learn the basics of wordpress. Good Luck :)
If I understand correctly you want to make a wordpress website with your layout.
You have to create a own Theme with your layout files
You have to change the name of your wordpress folder to studentportal.com
What's the best way to work on a WP theme on a live site? So that the users see the current theme and I can see the one I'm working on. I know WP has a preview theme option, which works, but it has a sidebar that lets you go back to the WP management page, which means when I try to inspect the source it has lots of extra stuff that the actual theme wouldn't have.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Working on a live site is not a good idea. All changes you make will be viewable to your users.
You have two options here. The first option is to create a subdomain like test.example.com and install wordpress there. From there you can do changes to the theme without worrying about the live site. Once done, you can just move your theme over to the live site.
The second and best option is to install wordpress locally on your pc. I use xammplite for that purpose. It works the same as a live install, but it is faster making changes to a theme. Also, if you make a mistake somewhere like a syntax error, you can correct it quickly, no need to ftp a file backwards and forwards between pc and live site.
If this doesn't cut it, your last least favored option is to download a maintanance plugin and put your site in maintainance mode. You will be able to see and test your site, and everyone else will see a maintainance notice
I have been develope one site in joomla framework. Now my trouble is that client want one custom page in this site. so, please guide me how to i setup theme interface in this custom page?
Although this is not my favorite solution, instead of including Joomla in your script, you can put your script inside an article with an extension that can read your code, like DirectPHP and others.
You can make something like error.php which is really a mini application that renders a single page. You can see in the core how elements of the emplae are used and you can evn pull in modules and so on.
