    I’m having a problem with your english, sorry. Try posting in english, and your native language, that way I can translate and hopefully understand a bit better.

    Now your old data, is that WordPress or something else?

    Thank you for your reply, I’ll try to describe it better. Translated by Google Translate.

    My client wants new WordPress site (or other CMS, but I chose the WP). Until now he runs e-shop (custom coding). E-Shop has a great feature for the shopping, but bad for other things.

    So I need to connect Shop with WordPress, so that the shop was to retain all URL categories and products and content to show up in WordPress.

    I’m looking for one or all of these things
    – Idea how to do it
    – Plugin that addresses a similar thing of which I had to learn more
    – To direct the functions that are crucial for achieving the goal

    eShop can’t do this, the data needs to be stored against a page or post. So if the old data is stored in a database it might be possible to import it. There was a plugin developed by someone else, but I don’t think it works any more.

    Sorry, but the translator apparently threw the sentence of this:

    So I need to connect Shop with WordPress, so that the shop was to retain
    all URL categories and products and content to show up in WordPress.

    I want:
    So I need to connect WordPress to Shop, so that the WordPress retains
    all eshops URL categories and products and display them as its own content (in content template area).

    – I need to direct the WP function that handles the URL request.
    – Or I need to find the correct terminology to search for solut

    Ahh please accept my apologies I think I was talking about something different. ie the eShop plugin.

    If you want to include content from an external source I’d look at using shortcodes Shortcode API
