Is it possible to add new non-wordpress website under same domain in Wordpress?
My domain is http://7deal.com/ and I want to access my non-wordpress website using http://7deal.com/merchant/. I already upload my new files and tried it and it display page can't be found.
Thanks for any help.
In the main directory where your web files are stored you will just need to make a folder called "merchant". Then add all of your new website files in there.
NOTE: wordpress's .htaccess file may cause some issues depending on what the other website is!
Try to delete or rename wordpress root .htaccess.

The situation is the following. I’m a beginner developer. Bought a domain and a simple hosting plan (includes 1 Msql base). I created a static HTML page. I modify it sometimes to show my progress.
Now I want to practise WordPress. Is it possible to keep this static webpage and create another dynamic page in WordPress? So this static page will be the main where I’ll put a link for the dynamic page.
Sorry if my question is too simple. I couldn’t find the answer anywhere.
Thanks!
Yes, you can create sub folder in public_html directory something like /public_html/xyz. so your domain will be xyz.com/xyz
now you can install wordpress in xyz folder and create dynamic website there.
Maybe you can use a sub-domain, they are normally free inside the hosting plan. You can have a folder for the html and other folder for the WordPress. Then just assign the correct folder for the main domain to the html and the subdomain.whatever.com to the WordPress.
Yeah there are a few ways to do it. Simplest is to name the page "index.html" and stick it in your root (public_html) directory. That page will display instead of the index.php file Wordpress uses, at least for the homepage.
Wordpress should "take over" if you navigate to any other URL.
i need to delete a joomla website and all its content and install a brand new wordpress website on the same domain.
My thought was:connecting via cpanel and find the joomla website domain via file manager and delete the whole folder thats in public_html.After it to upload -unzip wordpress on public_html and install it.
Can someone correct or maybe suggest a better way to do it?
Thank you.
You're on the right path.
You'll also need to delete the old Joomla database and create a new one for Wordpress, using phpmyadmin.
I have wordpress installed on the root of my website (say example.com/), but there is a folder of the website that i want to directly build in php/html not controlled by wordpress - basically I want it to be its own separate entity, but with the url being example.com/folder/, so it sits under wordpress in the url hierarchy, but is completely independant... Is that possible? I have done some research but cant find a solution or any reference to this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Just make the folder in the root directory of the wordpress install. Any files inside of that folder that does not declare the wp-load.php file will not be controlled by wordpress.
I have my WordPress site hosted on WordPress server. Now, I have registered a new domain name say example.ml. How can I change the WordPress URL to new domain name?
Do I need to completely move my files to a new host to do this? Is it possible to add URL to a site hosted on WordPress.
Any help is entertained.
Well, you could at least check the Wordpress Codex site. here
You need to edit the WP-config.php
define('WP_HOME','http://yournewdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://yournewdomain.com');
I have successfully moved a wordpress site from /test directory to the root, so now the website url looks like www.example.com. Fine.
However the admin section (wp-admin) still points to /test directory and so the url looks like www.example.com/test/wp-admin/...
How can I make it like www.example.com/wp-admin/...?
Please notice that I'm not interested in a simple redirection (now the customer is able to access the admin section with www.example.com/wp-admin, but then he's redirected to www.example.com/test/wp-admin/..., and it's not what he wants.
Thanks in advance
Everything is documented in http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
You may need to change many URLs in post/page content; if so, see https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB as suggested in the above Docs.
There is no need to create a new Wordpress install.
Also see http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install if you want to keep core Wordpress files and folders in a subfolder, but have the site appear to be at root for the end user.
You should not move wordpress this way. Here is what you do:
Install Clean Wordpress Installation on the new domain.
(www.original.com)
Use a plugin* to make back-up on your test domain.
(www.original.com/test/)
Install plugin* on the new domain, and restore back-up from test
domain. (www.orignal.com)
Update your style.css, header.php, index.php & footer.php if it
contains hard written links to your test domain.
You cannot simply move a wordpress installation - as most entries, links etc. are stored in the database. If you move folders in your ftp they will still point to the old database. This is why you have to duplicate your site, where the database entries will be automatically updated to your new site domain. Hard written links in any theme php files will have to be updated.
Although your problem depends on how your pointers/sites are set-up in c-panel. If you have to change pointers for your directory, you might have to back-up your website and upload it to a different domain so your new site can access the restoration back-up file via http request.
*Plugins such as wp clone, duplicator.
