How can I make this scenario work!?

  • I’m totally stuck and any ideas would be appreciated!

    I have a site which is running great! It was coded from scratch in php (not wordpress or any other CMS), it is quite involved and not an easy thing to move over to WP. I don’t at all wish to try either.

    Here’s the issue: I would like to start using some WP plugins such as Infusionsoft and Optimize Press 2.0. These plugins which seem to be WP only allow me to create landing pages at mysite.com/anythingiwant …. I am assuming I cannot install these on the non-WP site?

    I am wondering how I can achieve this if at all. For example, my non-WP site currently runs at mysite.com, can I install WP at admin.mysite.com and then create landing pages at mysite.com/whatever ??

    Hope this makes sense. I guess I’m looking for the scenario in which I can utilize WP and it’s plugins but keep my current non-WP site.

    Any and all advice would be seriously appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • You could certainly install WPin a folder like mysite.com/mywp/
    Then you could use it to create pages like: mysite.com/mywp/mylandingpage.html

    In general, you cannot run WP plugins outside of WP. You could look at the code of the plugin and recreate it to work with your custom site. And I’m sure that with enough hacking and .htaccess trickery you could get the URL’s to work out the way you would like, but that is going to be a major pain.
