Integration into previously established website

  • I have a website designed and up and WordPress installed. I was hoping, like cute news and other such scripts, to seamlessly integrate WordPress into the content area as opposed to making a WordPress theme based on the layout I’ve created.

    I’ve poked around the support forum for similar questions but none were very helpful. I’m hoping to find a way around this. Thank you very much!

  • You know, I have to agree with this post. The question has been asked so many times, and an alternative has been given. But no one ever answers the question.

    how many other database driven php packages can you just ‘drop into’ an HTML design?

    it’s like saying “I have this lawnmower, how do I just put in a v8 engine?”

    You’re always better off starting with the most complex item, then integrating less complex things with it – not the other way around.

    It’s infinitely easier to stuff a website into wordpress, than it is to stuff wordpress into a site.

    I’m with NigelDude; I cannot find an answer to this after searching for several months. Specifically, I am trying to embed https://craigcunningham.wordpress.com/ into https://www.customeris.net. I am converting a second blog from Blogger to WordPress and want to keep the two separate. Is there a reason the answer is so difficult to find?

    WordPress is not an “add-in” sort of package. It doesn’t work that way. It most especially does not work that way for wordpress.com blogs, as that’s a wholly separate service.

    Ivovic explained it quite well above, I’d read his post again.

    Well, that’s the one that your really can NOT do.
    a wp.com blog is NOT hosted by you together with the rest of your site.
    Even with self hosted WP-blogs (the one downloaded from here and installed on your host’s server) it is a difficult task.

    If you just want to “feed” your blog’s news into a main site – use RSS feeds.

    You can go with other solutions, but they all have their own limitations. For example, this one: Integrating.
    Warning: Read the whole article before starting to know what to expect! And don’t come back saying the links go to your default looking blog… please!
