We have a Blog site developed with Wordpress. It has been online for 2 years.
We are trying to create a new site with Joomla. The tricky part is that we want the old wordpress blog site to be part of the new site. We don't just want to put a few links on Joomla site and point to Wordpress site. We want to remain the Wordpress blog functions in the new site.
Any suggestion on how to approach?
Thanks in advance,
Milo
Install you Joomla site, then just migrate your wordpress blog in a sub directory ;). I've done this before, and found it works great without any problems.

This is the right plugin that I am looking for. Now it is compatible with Joomla 2.5

I wondering how to migrate custom theme from another wordpress to another without copying the whole wordpress...
I already tried copy the folder theme to new wordpress, but it has a lot of problem, because in the new wordpress, there is no Page as in origin wordpress.
Create some pages and see if it works.
Some themes uses plugins also, you must copy them too.
By the way, there's a dedicated stackexchange site for wordpress : https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
You can never expect the 100% same experience on another install since there may not be the same plugins, pages, images, server settings and so on and so on. You can not even be sure your theme work on the new wordpress if the WP version is diffrent from the one you made the theme on.
I have installed wordpress blog in my existing website. I want my wordpress blog to look similar to my website design.
You need to modify the theme of your wordpress blog to match your site look.
Hi i would like to know is there any multi-tenant plugin for wordpress. I have already searched on this topic but i could not find the solution.
In my case i would like to create a core wordpress setup loaded with several themes and plugins and also i want to replicate the core wordpress sites to several copy. And the important thing is if i do any change in the core wordpress site (ie. adding any new plugin or theme etc.) i want to replicate the same to all the copy of wordpress sites. Is this possible ??
Any suggestions would be very helpful
Thanks in advance
You can use the multisite feature of Wordpress. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network
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
I currently have a Magento store where I'm using a CMS page as the homepage. I want to integrate my wordpress blog (hosted on the same server) into this CMS page. It would show the latest blog post and preferably have the comment function available on the front page. The first thing I considered was using the Wordpress Loop on the Magento CMS page, but it doesn't seem like it allows PHP.
One other thought I had was to create the homepage using modules or blocks. To be honest, I've never created a module or block so I'm not all that familiar with what is involved. The CMS page that I had created is simply an image slider/carousel (nivo-slider) and some photos with links. None of the content actually needs to be done with CMS, it just needs to be presented within my Magento theme/framework. All homepage updates will be handled by myself, so I can bypass the CMS system all together and just update modules if it turns out that the modules solution will allow me to have both the Wordpress blog and nivo-slider on the same page.
Any thoughts?
One thing you can try is setting wordpress as the main site and style it to match your magento styling. Then the visitor will have a streamlined experience from a UI standpoint. One gotcha would be if you want comments open on Wordpress then you'd have 2 accounts you'd have to reconcile for wordpress and magento.
I found the solution at Part 2 of the following link:
http://addoa.com/blog/easy-wordpress-and-magento-integration
Here's a quick summary of the steps (for a full explanation, click the link above):
1) Create a bare-bones WordPress theme file that skips all of the styles, header, and footer and just displays content.
2) Create a page in WordPress that uses your new bare-bones template.
3) Create a template file in Magento to embed your newly created WordPress page into a Magento page.
4) Place the block based on your new template on the Magento CMS page you want the blog content to display on
The FishPig extension now supports this functionality so you achieve this by following these steps:
Upgrade to the latest version of FishPig's WordPress Integration
Login to your Magento Admin and go to WordPress > Settings Blog / Plugins
Find the Layout option and set 'Blog as Magento Homepage' to Yes
Save the page and voila, you have it: WordPress as your Magento homepage using your Magento theme in under 2 minutes
You will be wanting the Fishpig integration:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/fishpig/extension/3958/fishpig_wordpress_integration
Not only is it free, it is also actively maintained.
You can also do an Apache redirect for the root/home page to a wordpress page of your choosing. In that way you don't have to have the problem of adding something to the Magento homepage and maybe have something fancy in Wordpress.
hopefully i've understood your question!
the following article may be of help to you (it outlines how to use the fishpig extension and to pull out the latest posts as part of a magento block on your homepage):
adding recent posts to magento homepage
You can also use blog extension of magento.
You can get it free form magento site http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/aheadWorks/extension/1516/blog-extension-by-aheadworks
