I created a wordpress site with their template. In order to host my wordpress site on another hosting platform, I need the source code for my wordpress.com site. (that contains all the .php files). Is there an easy way to do that? This is my first time using wordpress so I'm very confused.
Thanks!
So the answer above is correct but that probably doesn't help you. What you can do is follow this link:
http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/transfer-wordpress/
It basically shows you how to migrate the data. You will need to setup wordpress.org on your new location first then once both are up, you can export from wordpress.com to your new location using I think a migration wordpress plugin. This should bring over your database. You will need to figure out how to migrate the template and style (look and feel) of the site. You may want to just find a new template that you like because I don't know how compatible wordpress.com templates are.
Hope this helps.
WordPress.com uses a modified version of the code available at https://wordpress.org/. You can't download their modified version, but you can download WordPress.org and start from there.
if you want to download a theme, you can find said theme on wordpress.org. If the theme is listed as premium, you'll have to buy it.
if you want to change yourDomain.wordpress.com to yourdomain.com please read this page.

I have a site on wordpress.com that is expiring at the end of October and I would like to host this myself but not sure what I need to do, to move this onto a new wordpress site I have downloaded on my localhost.
I have gone into the backend and downloaded the Export Content file (xml file) along with the media library but I am guessing I now need to somehow import this into the new Wordpress site I have on my localhost.
I understand that I will lose the template and the look but I am not too fussed about that and will be building a new template myself but just need to get around this before I can get started.
Would really appreciate any advice to get me going.
Please bear in mind that I have no access to the database or the web files and this is the reason I was trying to understand the steps I need to take to replicate the site on a new version of wordpress but with content/theme of the existing site.
Thanks in advance.
For migration you can use this plugin All in One Migration
You will not loose anything, this plugin will handle your front-end and back-end too.
So i'm looking to replace an old site with a newly built site. Both sites are built in WP. The urls are set up like this: "oldsite.org" and "oldsite.org/new"
I need to replace the old site with the new site so that /new is not required to get to the right place. What's the most efficient way of going about this? My client says has has a couple of back-end developers attempt this already and both failed due to faulty plug-ins. Import/Export attempts have previously broken the site.
You can go for a simple solution. Please find that step wise :
Take a backup of current site.
Install WP CLONE ACADEMY plugin into your new site.
Clone the new site
Install the same plugin into old site.
Import the clone file into old site.
Everything will imported from new site to old, even the database, plugins and etc.
Hope this will help you.
I don't know after updating which plugin. Now my site is showing all special characters as like below, What to do?
If you need to identify plugin conflicts do this.
Go to your plugin folder and rename plugins one by one and and check whether your web site is coming back to the previous state again.
This is the simple way WordPress developers use to identify plugin conflicts.
cheers :)
Sorry if this question is too basic (It would be great if someone could recommend me on a good resource/tutorial for starting up with wordpress development)
I am new to wordpress development. And I work on a Mac.
I downloaded MAMP, installed wordpress, and installed a custom theme which I bought online.
So far, I've been using the wordpress wp-admin interface to customize the theme.
I created a new Page called "myPage". I'm interested in making some design changes to myPage but the wp-admin tool is limited and I realized I have to start looking/modifying the code.
I'm using Netbeans, and created a new project of my local wordpress folder which contains the wp-admin, wp-content, wp-include folders.
However, I am not sure where in the code to find the page I created "myPage", in order to modify it.
I ran a search on all the code but I don't find any mention of it.
I guess my custom page is saved elsewhere? in the database?
Thanks!
Drill down through wp-content > themes > to your theme's folder. Inside there you will find a file called page.php. That is your default page template. To double check this is the page being used, in your wordpress backend, edit the page and on the right hand side in the 'page attributes' panel, you will see a dropdown under 'Template'. You're purchased theme may have many templates, so that is how you can tell which one is being used.
Note: Creating a page inside of the wordpress backend does not actually create a new page file for that page.
Hope this helps.
Yea, you can find your page in DB, check out link for more info.
To access your database, you need to go to url http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ if everything is set right; or your local IP/phpMyAdmin/ if host alias is not set.
EDITED
If you are looking for file, you should look in wpfolder/wp-content/themes/some-theme/ and now ether page.php or content-page.php I am not sure.
I just had a little doubt..
can i use wordpress inside Magento CMS..... I mean can I able to install wordpress plugins in magento... The reason iam asking about Magento because, Iam gonna use magento templates and besides I also need to use wordpress plugins in it.. I need BOTH..
So, is this possible..?
While my research, I found some links, BUT still iam not clear on this..
here are some links I found:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/magento-wordpress-integration/
https://www.x.com/devzone/articles/magento-part-4-integrating-magento-and-wordpress-using-fishpig-extension
So, can anyone pls clarify on this..?
Answer:no. You can't use WordPress plugins, which are specifically made for WordPress (and based on its framework) directly in Magento.
No, you can't use WordPress plugins with Magento. They have wildly different architectures.
The integration articles you linked to are talking about using WordPress and Magento together on the same website.
You could theoretically write a plug-in for one that also manipulates the database used by the other, but that is likely a custom job, not something you can just go download somewhere.
If you want to use various Wordpress plugins inside Magento, short answer, as mentioned, is no.
With those link that you provide, you can achieve the following:
With wordpress plugin (link that you provided) you can have yourwordpress.com and then install Magento inside a folder, so Magento store would be available. for example, in yourwordpress.com/magentostore/ and you can easily display any Magento block(top links, categories, layered navigation block etc.) from your store in you Wordpress site.
With Magento plugin (I'd go with FishPig http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/wordpress-integration.html) you can have opposite: yourmagentostore.com and than Wordpress blog/site inside blog folder of your Magento installation yourmagentostore.com/wordpressblog/ And there you'd be able to display footer and header of Magento in your wordpress site and display, for example, the latest blog post in Magento
agentoHope this help!
i think its impossible...because they have different backend architecture
