Integrating your site's theme with a wordpress blog

hubie · #1 06-04-2010, 01:35 PM

I have worked on wordpress blogs standalone, but never integrated them with an existing site. I now want to do this and have installed WP to a subdirectory. Does anyone know the best way to have it work within your x-cart site's theme?

You need to skin the blog - create a custom theme.

I've seen people try and load wordpress database into x-cart to use the x-cart layout but I've never seen it done well. Like Padraic said skin the wordpress simlarly, or use an x-cart specific blog software.

If I install it in subdomain that is in blog.mydomain .com can I able to do it?

All of the values stored in x cart database?

Thank you.

Just change the path to your blog in blog.tpl

Code:

src="http://blog.mydomain.com"

Thanks for your reply.I have installed it on different database rather than x cart will it create any problem?
Everything works perfect except display.When I see http://www.health-shoppe.com/blog.php then entire blog site will display in a small window after making scrolling="yes".How to make it full screen in help page also it will not display in IE.

Waiting for your reply.
