I have a website that is hosted in Blogger with a custom domain. I also had a subdomain that used a different theme than the main website. Now I want to move to WordPress. I got a wordpress hosting from GoDaddy and used the installation wizard to install WordPress. Now, there is step during the installation that asks for the domain for the website. What I want is that my domain should remain in Blogger, but subdomain should be in wordpress. Is this possible?
Or, even if I move my main domain to wordpress, still is it possible to have a subdomain in wordpress with another template. I am a newbie to WordPress.
Okay, Follow these steps:
1) Go to database and choose wp_option table. Change site_url whatever you want in wordpress.
2) Go to "General" in setting option in admin panel and change both url given in box.
that's it.
If you want the subdomain should work with WordPress site, then you just need to point CNAME or A record to Godaddy hosting account and the subdomain site will be live with WordPress.

Have been trying to setup and configure WordPress Multisites on my domain.
I have installed and activated the "Sub Domain" install.
I am simply looking to create site likes this.
Main website:
http://www.example.com
Sub Domain Sites:
http://docs.example.com
http://demo.example.com
So far I have created the sub domain http://docs.example.com in the WordPress Dashboard. To be able to access the WordPress Dashboard for this sub domain I had to create a sub domain in cPanel that pointed docs to the public_html directory. Also in my VPS.net hosting panel I had to create an A Record for docs pointing to the IP address of my server
My issue is that when I try and view http://docs.example.com in a web browser I always get a blank white screen.
Do I need the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin installed to use WordPress Multisite. I have installed it previously but it didn't make a difference.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have a website with the domain www.dlsrci.org which uses Joomla and is hosted by Hostgator.
Now the problem is that I want to make the same website using Wordpress with the same domain name dlsrci.org. How should I approach further with this process? After installing Wordpress, it's asking for the domain name and if I give the same domain name then there will be a conflict with Joomla and the Wordpress website and on the same side I cannot put the Joomla website down until the Wordpress website is totally completed.
Please help me in this regards.
I have my wordpress installation at /var/www/html/wordpress2 and there's a totally separate wordpress installation at /var/www/html/html/wordpress.
When running the worpdress2 installation, I get errors saying it can't find /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/theme/.... How do I change it to look for these things in wordpress2 and not wordpress?
Did you transfer wordpress to Wordpress 2? If so you need two separate databases, one for Wordpress and the other for Wordpress 2. Then you need to check the wp_options table to have their correct subfolder in the site URL and home URL.
Follow these steps in order to transfer your WordPress site from one location to another.
Change the option_value(your root url of current wordpress site) corresponding to id(value 1) and option_name(value site_url).
Access your wp-admin(siteurl/wp-adimn). Go to general-setting panel and change Site Address (URL), same as WordPress Address (URL).
Hope this will work for you. Same process you can follow to move WordPress site from local to server or one server to another.
I have a shop already developped as a Wordpress site. My company has another website based also on WP to which they want to transfer that shop.
How can I move my shop based on WooCommerce to a different WordPress installation? We want the second WP website to incorporate that shop in a sub-domain.
If the only integration you plan to do is access to the e-commerce subdomain from the main site, then you don't need to move anything. Just create the subdomain on your DNS administration panel (Route53, Cloudflare, etc) point it to where the site is, then change the site URL in the table wp_options.
Your main site can remain untouched, except for incorporating links to the ecommerce one.
You can export products and other information from old wordpress instance.
In the backend, Tools > Export > Wordpress. Choose products, posts and any other data you want to export.
On the new word press instance, you can import from Tools > Import. If you have Woocommerce installed in the new instance, the products will be imported with ease (along with images)
Hope this helps.

I bought a custom domain from godaddy and made a wordpress blog with Azure Websites. Everything worked fine, my custom domain name is working but I have a small problem.
Let's say that my custom domain name is "azuresite". Well, I have the domain "azuresite.com", but when I go to the website and I click on a link (let's say the about page), it goes to azuresite.azurewebsites.com/about instead of going to azuresite.com/about
Do you have any idea what should I do to make the links point to my custom domain instead of the azurewebsites domain?
Here are two screenshots that may help you to better understand the problem:

Screenshot of my website: http://prntscr.com/2idaqg
It turns out that I just had to go to wordpress settings and change my site address from mydomain.azurewebsites.net to mydomain.com. Here's a screenshot:
