I'm in a bit of a pickle... Is it possible to do this if Wordpress is in a folder?
Forum:
domain.com
Wordpress:
domain.com/blog
Woocommerce:
domain.com/store
My main domain has a forum running on it so I can't put Wordpress in there.
So it's in domain.com/blog and the store is domain.com/blog/store or domain.com/blog/product which I don't want.
Please help me!
Any sort of solution is welcome.
I am not completely sure, but I think you have 2 choices:
A multisite wordpress installation:
You can manage 2 web sites In one Wordpress installation. Each web site will have his own URL. Reference: Wordpress MultiSite
You can Also have 2 separate wordpress Installations:
The first one can contain the second one (I have already done that with a wordpress/woocommerce production website, containing a test website for SSL certificate reasons).
Update:
You can set all WooCommerce pages as subpages of your WooCommerce Shop (store) page. When WooCommerce is installed, it creates 4 pages: You Will rename 'Shop' page in 'Store'. You will make all 3 other pages, subpages of 'Store' page. Then you will have to edit all end points urls and some WooCommerce permalinks. You might need to use some redirection rules too in .htaccess file. The only problem is that you will have domain.com/blog/store/ as main url for all woocommerce stuff, because your main wordpress install is domain.com/blog/.

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...
We migrated all the files from one domain to another. It has created issues with the wordpress default post's categories. It does not display any category in the backend although they exist in wordpress tables. When we add new category, it does not get displayed in admin panel. The screen shot is as dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39933074/category-error.png. I think the issue is due to some files are missing while migrating the files.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue and also please let me know which files contains the code which retrieves categories in the admin panel
Do some basic WordPress troubleshooting first:
Deactivate all your plugins
Use a default theme (i.e. Twenty Thirteen)
Try again
If that doesn't fix your problem, reinstall WordPress via your dashboard (-> Updates).
I need help in changing multiple wordpress instances installed in distinct subdirectories into a single wordpress installation with multisite activation. Let me explain my problem briefly:
example.com is my domain Hostgator shared hosting
example.com/ - Homepage as index.php my own designed php file
examole.com/university/ - wordpress 1st installation
example.com/school/ - wordpress 2nd installation
example.com/exam/ - wordpress 3rd installation
The reason why Idid this is I need different menus on each directory sites. I found no option t odo this in single wordpress.
Now I went through an article about wordpress multisite ; can I migrate all wordpress instances into a single wordpress with same folder having same site and contents ?
I currently have 200 posts on each wordpress and I don't want to lose the SERP results.
Is it possible to do without any effects and for all those sites ? I am the only admin.
Were I can have different menus and themes for each site on wordpress multisite ?
How to convert this in simple beginner level steps?
You can do it , but before you need to get backup for the all websites, also import all your posts from all the wordpress installation
Create a Network in your main domain , for your reference Create_Network
Then create your child website, based on the
Sub-domains — a domain-based network in which on-demand sites use subdomains
Sub-directories — a path-based network in which on-demand sites use paths
so your child website should be like
examole.com/university
example.com/school
example.com/exam
Once you have successfully created your child websites then there would be a separate wp-admin for each child websites in your Main wp-admin, once you get logged in as admin ,
At the left of your WordPress toolbar, My Sites is now the second item. There, all your sites are listed, with handy fly-out menus, as well as a Network Admin menu item. Under Network Admin you can use the Dashboard item to go to the Network Dashboard screen.
then you can import your posts (already exported from your old websites) on each child webistes as possible ,
Hope this is enough to do it
Yes I know that there is a plug in to bridge the two, but I want to keep them separate. Basically I want the nav menu in wordpress to point to a sub domain or a folder with the mybb forums. Everyone keeps telling me to use the plug in. Also if you add folders to wordpress, will it not just give you errors that those pages do not exist? So is a subdomain the best choice?
It's completely fine to keep the two separate without using the bridge. If you want a link to MyBB from a Wordpress menu, you can add it in the Admin Panel -> Appearance -> Menus, add a Custom Link to your forum URL.
By default, the .htaccess file in Wordpress will not rewrite URLs any folders/files that exist on the server. So it is possible to have MyBB as a subfolder in your Wordpress installation. However, it may be cleaner and easier to maintain if you have it on a separate subdomain.
I have installed a Wordpress theme in /wp-content/themes/mytheme/
I then applied this theme to a specific site. I am using Wordpress multi-site.
I want users who have access to the site to also be able to edit the theme from Wordpress.
Is this possible? How?
By default, only the super-admin has the ability to edit theme files in the WordPress multisite environment. In order to circumvent this default behavior, you will need to build and install a simple plugin and modify a WordPress core file. Instructions for doing so can be found here. Posts by jroakes and jrue contain the code you need to make the modifications. Keep in mind that updating WordPress could break the modification. Also be aware of the security risks involved.
