wordpress on joomla site, how do i get it to work?

  • I have a site with joomla installed but I decided I want to give wordpress a try, so i created a directory at https://www.x.com/wordpress (not a real link) and did the automated installation by godaddy.com site and got a notice by email that the installation was complete.

    the problem is that now if i try to go to x.com/wordpress i can’t load the page. why and how do i load it? does joomla intefere with it? my intention is just to see how it works before i give up on joomla completely.

    thank you for any help, appreciated!!

  • does joomla intefere with it?

    If Joomla is running in the root domain, almost certainly. You’d need to edit your root .htaccess file to stop Joomla trapping the /wordpress urls.

    that was quick! ??

    what should i be doing with the .htaccess file? will renaming it suffice?

    If you rename it, Joomla will almost certainly break. Can you cope with that?

    I renamed it and wordpress does work and joomla doesn’t work now… but i love the new wordpress template and wp looks friendlier… i’m going to delete joomla and stick with wordpress and hopefully it will be what i wanted! thanks for the help!

    Welcome to WordPress! ??
