IWeb and Wordpress

Can I upload my html that I made in iweb to wordpress? i know you can get access to wordpress through FTP, but i cant figure out my FTP adreess in iweb. Any help? what would my FTP Address be?

iWeb/MobileMe does not have an ftp address. When you publish to MobileMe, your site will be published directly there to your iDisk, so no ftp address.
Basically, to get an ftp address, you need to go to a server such as GoDaddy or Host Excellence and purchase a hosting account from them where you can host your website and then you will get an ftp address where you can use Cyberduck or another ftp program to upload your site directly.
Do you have such as hosting account with GoDaddy or another host? To get an ftp address you will need to get one.
Are you totally sure that you really know what you are doing with WordPress? I do not know a lot about it, but from what I have read, you need to load WordPress directly to an external host - so you use ftp to place it on your host - hence where the ftp address comes in - so GoDaddy/Host Excellence.
If WordPress has the ability to deal with html code and can import published sites such as Dreamweaver can, then if you publish your iWeb site to a folder, then yes, it should be able to import.
You do need to get an external host though, as Apple servers/MME are not designed to deal with things like WordPress.

IWeb and Wordpress headers

Is there a way I can use my standard wordpress headers with an iWeb website? I have the wordpress blog all up and running already and can already use the headers with any PHP file with the simple <?php include ('wp-blog-header.php'); get_header(); ?> tag at the beginning. Is there a way to do this in iWeb? In other words, is there a way to tell iWeb I only want to publish content that is inside the <body></body> tags and to use PHP code for the header and footer?

The problem with this is that in iWeb, you would need to make any alterations after you have published your site to your desktop, because before this there will not be any code for you to alter.
Select the option publish to a folder from inside iWeb and then use an html editor such as TextWrangler to alter the code. Also remember that if you happen to make any alterations to your site at all you will need to do this every time and then re-upload. You may wish to reconsider?
Also where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or another host/server? If MobileMe it does not support PHP.

Iweb created, wordpress embedded.

Hello,
My ideal situation would be to create a website in iweb, have a domain, host and website with Wordpress (software) pages, and transfer or embed my iweb website to wordpress(.org). Is this possible?
I'm not talking about blogs (I know Wordpress is for blogs), I'm talking about website pages, layout and creation.
Obviously I'm trying to use the best part of both iweb and wordpress. iweb is extremely easy to use to create websites (especially coming from DVD Studio/Motion) and I love Wordpress' free plugins, navigation and setup.
If what I'm asking is not possible, what would be a similar solution? Dreamweaver and Wordpress? iWeb straight to the server (and alternate Wordpress-type plugins)? Another program?
I'm trying to create a few websites, but when it comes to designing I enjoy the free range of experimenting visually with text, color, layouts, etc that iweb and Dreamweaver offers over trial and error of html, css, and php.
THANK YOU in advance!

I am not sure if you can do this and it all depends how much you are able to alter the WordPress html code or insert code into WordPress?
Are you using WordPress.com or .org? .org is more customisable than the .com version, but if you were to try and embed an iWeb site into WordPress, it would mean adding iFrame code to the html and I am not so sure that WordPress will allow you to do this in the same way that iWeb will - with iWeb it is simple - you just enter the iFrame code into an html widget and away you go.
If you know how to alter the code and add it in WordPress then great, but if not, I would do it the other way around and embed your WordPress blog into an iWeb site - by far the simpler option.

IWeb '09 and WordPress blogging

As a volunteer, I currently have two web-sites for separate annual public events published by iWeb and hosted by GoDaddy. Each event is autonomous from the other. One event is for a history-based reunion in the summer, the other for a winter festival.
If I were to create a blog on WordPress.com (which I assume to be a free service) for each event, is there a way to connect the WordPress.com blogs to their respective event web-sites, so that each site could show a "blog" page in the header and allow a visitor to visit the blog without leaving the event's web-site?

I found this tip on the iWeb Unlimited tips blog, and was wondering if this could be used to do what I was asking about in my Original Post in this thread:

IWeb, templates, and WordPress

I created a nice simple website in iWeb 08, and it has served me well. However, I now want to upgrade and use a template from WordPress. Am I able to import the template into iWeb and then edit the bits I want, or should I be using something different altogether?
Any suggestions gratefully received here. I am migrating the site to a Tucows shop, and they support WordPress so should I possibly be doing it online rather than here on my Mac?
Thanks for any help

iWeb is not a webeditor for Wordpress. It's an application to create webpages.

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
Can anyone help me please?

New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server. If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc. Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder? This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

Switch from iWeb to WordPress?

          A week ago I asked about alternatives to iWeb for blogging on this forum.
One suggestion received from Roddy was to consider software created by
RageSW called iWeb to WordPress.
I did explore this and chose to try it.
Specifically, I paid $120 for one year's webhosting services.
This included provision of a domain and installation of WordPress
at my new website.
          My reaction so far is mixed for the following reasons:
1. My current weblog, a health-related blog, consists of a welcome page,
which is fixed, and four pages on which I place posts to diverse audiences
every few months as appropriate to the on-going health story.
2. In WordPress terms, these four pages are considered four separate blogs.
3. When iWebtoWrdPrs is used on the files published to a local folder, they
must be broken into four separate blogs. The result was that all 28 posts
from my four pages wound up in one WrdPrs blog.
4. To separate these back into "four groups", I chose the names of my iWeb
pages to create four WordPress "categories", which can be displayed in the
blog page sidebar. Then, I assigned each post to its related category.
I consider this marginally satisfactory and certainly neither elegant, nor
user-friendly.
5. The navigation menu at the top of the page looks like the one iWeb
produces, but it accommodates several fixed pages and one blog page
with all the posts. This seems to make sense for commercial entities;
for me it seems clumsy and rigid.
6. To use the software one must be using iWeb3.0.x.
7. On the plus side, the staff at RageSW have been very responsive and
helpful.
          In the short term I will continue using iWeb; my MobileMe subscription
runs thru next June. RageSW also offers hosting for iWeb publishing if you
want to experiment with your own domain. There are many tutorials on
WordPress available on-line and a good support community. Maybe I'll find
a satisfactory way to implement my blog in WordPress down the road.

Yes, if you have purchased both a domain name and hosting, then it is your server - so I have a domain name registered with hosting space from HostExcellence and that is my server space.
WordPress.org can only be loaded onto a server/hosting space as it is seen as one of the Content Management Systems's similar to Joomla and Drupal. For this you need server space and a database and most hosting companies have automatic loading of something like WordPress.org onto the sever - you just click on install and it will all be loaded onto the server for you along with the database needed.
The difference between the WordPress.org is that as it is installed directly on your server, then it is linked directly to your own domain name so the url will be http://www.domain.com/Blog or http://www.domain.com/WordPress. The last name depends on how you choose to install it on your sever. I have 2 blogs using WordPress.org on my server and the domain names for both are http://www.domain.com/Blog.
With my other host, I wanted to create the whole website using WordPress, so I installed WordPress directly onto the server, so now, when you enter my domain name direclty the whole WordPress site comes up.
WordPress.org has more templates available for it and you can customise it a little more, but the great thing is that it is installed on your server directly, so no messing around with the url http://www.name.wordpress.com. It is on your own server rather than that of WordPress.

How to publish from iWeb to Wordpress

I want to take the advantage of those beautiful design sofware to create an amazing blog for my wordpress account. But I run into problem of not know how to do it and I do not want to live in the restriction of wordpress has for me on the web design.

There's no know method to conver an iWeb blog, design wise, to a wordpress blog. Rage software, however, has offered an application that can export the entries and comments of a current iWeb blog for use in an wordpress blog. Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog | iWeb to WordPress for Mac OS X But the design and layout must be created by wordpress.

How do I move my blog posts from iWeb to Wordpress?

I want to move all my blog posts from iWeb to Wordpress. Is that possible and how?

Depending on how many posts you have, it may be best to copy and paste them into Wordpress. I don't know for sure, but I dought if there is any process that will do that automatically for you. I would have your iWeb blog (edit Mode) window open and then Create a new blog in Wordpress. Copy the iWeb title/paste into Wordpress - Copy the iWeb blog text/paste into Wordpress. It should go fast once you get the first one done because you'll do the same for all. Hope that helps.

Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
Thanks
PB

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

IWeb and cloud options

Hi, I'm a longtime iWeb user. But I'm frustrated at the lack of progress with this product. Apple seems reluctant to do much (or I haven't heard of new updates for a long time) so I'm seeking an alternative that is cloud-based. Would you mind throwing out a few cloud-based options that you like? I want it for a website, not a blog, and want it to have good social media integration, slideshows, etc.
I've looked at Wix, Weebly and GoDaddy's new website builder, which is ridiculously confusing in my opinion. Any thoughts about these or other options? Looking for something that will most likely be around in a few years. Thanks and have a great weekend.

Apple stopped supported iWeb a long time ago after stopping selling the iLife boxed sets both in store and online. iWeb was really designed as part of .Mac and then MobileMe, which included one click web publishing. Once they decided to get rid of MobileMe at the end of June last year and replace it with iCloud that does not offer web hosting, there was no need to for iWeb, so no longer supported or sold. If you search this forum, you can find literally thousands of post regarding it.
As for replacements, Wix is no cloud based, but is based on the Wix servers - they are what are known as online web building services, of which there are a lot, including Weebly and Wix. Wix is really not that hard to use and is flash based and you can publish a free site to the Wix servers or use the site with your own domain name.
Other alternatives include, RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 6, Flux 4, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder. There is also something called EasyWeb due to be released by Rage Software, but initially you will have to sign up for their hosting to be able to use it. You can download free trials of most of these, so you can try before you buy.
There are also the Content Management Systems that you can look into using, such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.
At the moment though, iWeb still works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, so continue to use it. It may not work any longer once the new OS Mavericks comes along, but it does still work with Mountain Lion.
I have started using WebAcappella and like this, but mostly, I have moved to the CMS's and am currently using Joomla, as you can do more with this, such as membership sites etc.

IWeb to Wordpress

Is it possible to create a web page in iWeb and upload it to an account at sites such as Google Pages, Wordpress, Blogger, etc?

Is it possible to create a web page in iWeb and
upload it to an account at sites such as Google
Pages, Wordpress, Blogger, etc?
You can certainly do this in a normal webpage hosting account with ftp access. I don't know whether the ones you mention are in this category. Here are some tips:

Iweb/iFrame/Wordpress issue.

I have Wordpress embedded on my site and it works great 99%, however when i select 'comment' on wordpress the frame bounces, moves upwards and i see the footer of the Iweb page behind (even though the footer height is set to 0)
it only seems to be when i select Comment on wordpress, which i guess resizes the page or something and iWeb/the iFrame has difficulty dealing with it.
Anyone else had this issue? any ideas?

Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and republish.
Adding a 5% opaque drop shadow to the text will convert the text box to an image file and it will display exactly as you see it in iWeb. However, that will remove that text from being used by search engines and add additional "weight" to the page thus making it load slower. If you have a lot of that type of text I would think twice before converting those text boxes to image files.
