any shared hosting server should have the WP app already installed.

Hi.

It depends on what kind of site you are going for. Do you need Virtual Private Server or Shared server?

Thank you for your responses.

I have also done a lot of research on this topic during the last week, being that WordPress is unable to run as an online store without an plugin developed to operate as a way to have an online store within the WP platform, makes the entire process much less safe via the plugin, which I personally will not risk throwing products on a site to only end up with a hacked system from a plugin that was easily hacked to pry open the site itself.

I was able to find an idea, however, of instead of using a plug in for WP. Feed the products from a different host with a 128 bit encryption, in order to bring the shopping cart in through the WP site.

Any thoughts on this?

Thank you

Hey,

Thanks for the response. I didn’t realize that WP is secure. I have heard so many different opinions about that. I am considering going for an online store hosted by a company that is all they do is ecommerce. They say that there is a way to integrate a WP site via pointing the url fron the WP site to the ecom site. Not sure about how that one will work or not. LOL We’ll see.

I play an Alvarez 6 string but really jonezin for a Takamine 12 string lol!

I found a company (no affiliation) online a while back when this was an issue for a friend of mine.

Hello all,

Is anyone familiar with Elegantthemes.com ?

I am currently trying to get a theme to work but when doing so after uploading (via ftp) and going into “appearance/theme” in wp, the screenshot of the theme is broke, as is several of the background images.

the site is located at: bohemianpress-fairtrade.com/

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
