Running wordpress blogs as subfolders

Hi,
We are moving our site to Azure shortly and I have a question about using Wordpress on Subfolders. 
Our main website is run using sitecore CMS which is a .net framwork, but we also have a number of blogs which we currently run using wordpress. We which these blogs to be a subfolders as opposed to subdomains, and have found this very tricky using our current
standard server hosting solution (we we have a windows server for the main site, then a Unix for the wordpress and use some tricky config URL mapping to achieve it). Would it be possible (easier) now that we are moving to Azure ??
Thanks

Hello Big Zee,
We are currently working on this and will get back to you shorty, thank you for your patience.
Thanks,

  • A Basic Guide on Adding a WordPress Blog to OpenCart

    Blogging is an effective and inexpensive way of engaging with your customers. Creating blog posts constantly provide search engines fresh content to index, which eventually help set you up as an authority in your domain. Blogging help you connect with your target audience and build trust within your own industry, by providing valuable information about your business.
    When it comes to build an e-commerce website, an unfortunate reality is that some people believe that blogging isn’t necessary for e-stores or e-commerce website. But, that’s a wrong notion!
    As a matter of fact, it is more important to create blogs when you’re selling something, owing to the fact that customers doubt buying online. And so, offering products at lower or discounted prices may not even work in drawing your customers’ attention. However, having a blog section in your e-store can help you create brand loyalty. But, the problem is that e-commerce sites don’t come integrated with blogging functionality.
    Luckily, there are some great blogging platforms out there that can be integrated within your e-shop. WordPress is one such excellent and the most widely used platform for creating blogs. Once you’ve decided to integrate a WP blog, it is also very important to ensure that you’re using a reliable and coveted e-commerce platform. Most of us have a tendency to use Magento platform for building online stores or sites, however, for creating a small or medium-size e-store or e-shop OpenCart best fit your needs.
    Through this post, I would like to talk about how you can integrate WordPress powered blogs to OpenCart using Wordpress Blog Feeds extension. But before proceeding further let’s first have an overview of the OpenCart e-commerce platform.
    OpenCart – A Brief Introduction
    OpenCart is open-source software that helps set up an e-commerce site cost-effectively. It is an ideal choice for small and medium-size merchants for creating their online site. It is lightweight e-commerce software and is easier to handle. Just like Magento e-commerce platform. OpenCart also comes with tons of extensions (or add-ons) that help embed extra functionality into an online store.
    Overview of Pre-requisites
    Let's have a quick overview of pre-requisites you will need for integrating a WP powered blog in OpenCart:
    WordPress version compatible with your OpenCart installation.
    Access to cPanel.
    Acquire ZIP file for the “WordPress Blog Feed” extension from the  OpenCart site.
    Install vQmod folder because the extension we are using for the integration requires this folder to operate.
    How to Install WordPress Blog?
    Step 1 – First, you will need to login-in into your Cpanel (or you can even choose to use any FTP client in case you've knowledge about working with FTP).
    Step 2 – In this step, you need to upload “Wordpress Blog Feeds” extension zip file into your OpenCart directory.
    Step 3 – Next, from your cPanel logged-in screen you can view an option “File manager”, from there click on the zip file where your OpenCart installation is being uploaded. And then, choose EXTRACT to uncompress the extension zip file. Make sure to save your uncompressed file in the vQmod folder.
    For example: When you access and open your OpenCart URL or folder location/vqmod/xml/, the file you need to extract will be named as vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml
    Now that you have extracted the file, simply navigate to the vQmod folder and click on vba-blog-feed-to-article1.xml. And then, select EDIT. This will return text that will look something like:
    Once all changes to the file has been made, remember to click on the “Save” button in order to save the file entries.
    Summing Up!
    Irrespective of whether you’re running a small business or a medium-size e-commerce business, blogging frequently will help you build trust and enable you to connect with your customers. Put it simply, an online store selling products can take advantage of blog to drive more traffic to it. Moreover, by writing blog posts about your offerings and its qualities may encourage a user to access your site. If you’re using OpenCart software to build an e-commerce site, then you can choose to integrate WP blog in it. Hopefully reading this post will prove a good starting point, helping you become familiar with the integration process of WordPress blog into your OpenCart site.

    Hello,
    You can try adding a wordpress blog to your Muse site. You should be able to do this. There shouldn't be any issue with it's functionality (You may need to work some more on the design part - This is just in case there is some issue with the wordpress code and the code generated by Muse in the backend). Please also have a look at this related post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4825190

  • Flex 2 Wordpress Blog RSS

    I find it EXTREMLY hard to belive, that wordpress doesn't
    support the use of Flex2 RSS.
    The only reason I find this, is because whenever I try to
    call data from my wordpress blog it won't work.
    MY OBJECTIVE IS SIMPLE!!!!!
    Get the RSS From -
    http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
    Parse it into a simple Flex Blog Reader/RSS reader app(All
    this is completly done)
    Whenever I try to run my app on my computer it works, but on
    my server IT DOESNT.
    Heres is my COMPLETE code:
    Link -
    http://pastebin.ca/586156
    The reason I use -
    http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/?atom=http%3A%2F%2Fgrahamtt.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F
    instead of -
    http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
    Is because Flex 2 doesn't read Atom (as far as I know). And
    that's the same thing, I just used the converter here:
    http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/
    Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to set up a Proxy
    properly? And get my code working?
    It's crucial for my job that I find out how to read data from
    wordpress blogs in a Flex App.
    HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

    yea, I've tried that (too what I understand them saying) and
    it didnt work.
    I downloaded the proxy.php and uploaded it to the directory
    of my swf, but it still wont work. I also tried including the php
    in proxy.php into the actual page that used the swf, and nothing
    worked.
    :/

  • Wordpress blogs and Safari

    This isn't new, but I've reached the point of sufficient frustration to post something here.
    The blogging framework at Wordpress.com seems to be as good as useless in Safari (5.1.5), on both my iMac and the latest version on my iPad. On the iPad I have the Wordpress blogging app, which works fine, but I share the iPad with my wife and cannot always use it when I want to post a blog.
    Searching the web, I seem to find quite a bit of rather inconclusive correspondence about incompatibilities between Safari and Wordpress. This, usually seems to end in suggestions to use a different web browser. Also seem to be lots of recommendations to delete cookies, cache contents etc, generally to no effect.
    Today, my iMac is running really well, yet it simply will not open my Wordpress blog, not any other Wordpress blog I want to read. I even blew the dust off my Windows laptop and tried with that, using Internet Explorer. It loaded them just fine. Every experiment I have tried points to a major incompatibility between Safari and Wordpress.
    Neither Wordpress nor Apple seem to be owning up to this.
    Anyone solved this issue?
    Thanks.
    Tom

    Issue with Safari 5.1.10 on my Mac 10.6.8: Since yesterday all my WP sites are dead, WP Login failed. Safari tells me: "Safari can’t open the page “http://gamewidgets.onemac.net/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
    Cleared Cache, checked all sort of files...No luck !
    FTP with ForkLift get funny, works perfectly with FileZilla !
    ALL perfectly working in Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all(Display, Login...) - I'm totally confused !!!
    Oi, Apple you screw it !
    Update: My host(onemac.net) now complitly failed working in Safari - AGAIN with Firefox and Chrome with NO issues at all - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhh
    Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

  • WordPress blogs

    I can't get Safari 2.0.4 to access the blog page WordPress. BTW: I still run os-x 10.4 and will not be upgrading any time soon.
    WordPress blog pages cause Safari to shut down as soon as a search inquiry begins to load. Any ideas out there?
    Peter.

    Hi Peter
    yes, I see what you mean - not a lot you can do directly in safari 2.0.4 except tell wordpress
    the crash is caused by problems with wordpress's code & some of the system frameworks that safari uses; you can run a version of safari with more up to date frameworks by downloading a nightly build of webkit which uses you existing safari app, but makes it load newer frameworks.... this does seem to solve your specific problem in the several searches I just tried...
    you know if you update to 10.4.11 ( free btw ) you can use safari 3.1.1 ? ( 10.4.11 comes with 3.0.4 i think ) ; anyway, 3.1.1 seems immune to the crashes too.

  • My Adsense Ads do not show on Wordpress Blog Sidebar. All that shows is a blank box. The Adsense ads show just fine in Internet Explorer. What is wrong here?

    Adsense Ads are not showing up on my WordPress Blog Sidebar. The same ads are showing on Internet Explorer, but not on my Firefox Browser. What is wrong here?
    http://www.BuyBeadsOnlineBestChoice.com

    Actually, my AdSense is set up to work differently on the actual blog post pages. If you look at this link
    [http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.​com/2012/03/going-back-to-​work-for-marten_20.html http://mytruckalogue.blogspot.​com/2012/03/going-back-to-​work-for-marten_20.html]
    there should be
    1.) a 300x250 block of yellow text ads just under the the post title
    2.) a 300x250 block of yellow text or image ads at the top of the sidebar, and
    3.) a 300x250 block of template color text or image ads just under the Blog Archive.
    Incidentally, I can't see my blog at all at this moment because my company has disallowed viewing personal websites and blogs on their wifi. REAL bummer! Sitting in my truck waiting for dispatch and can 't work on my blog :-(
    But I'd be grateful to know if anyone else can see these ads - I can, at least, view this website.
    Thanks much :-)

  • Moving wordpress blog to iWeb

    I am building a site right now with iWeb 09. Is it possible to import old content from a basic wordpress template to my new iWeb page? If so, are there instructions online about how to do so? I am having a difficult time finding anything. Thanks in advance.

    iWeb can't import anything. A wordpress blog is a lot more flexible than an iWeb blog. I would keep it and either link to it from iWeb or put it in an iframe on an iweb page.

  • Local copy of Wordpress blog doesn't recognize cyrillic font

    I've installed LAMP using the [wiki]LAMP[/wiki] wiki page. There was no problem during the instalation and configuration, but my local Wordpress blog is not recognizing any of my blog posts that are written on cyrullic, there are only ???????? instead of real letters. I tried also this that i found on wordpress support page, but it gave no results.
    Is there something that i have to do, and set up encoding?

    Hey there,
    I would see if this Apple support document can provide any help first.

  • Muse: Link zu post in eingebettetem Wordpress-Blog?

    Hallo,
    Ich habe in meiner neuen Website auf der Seite "News" meinen Wordpress-Blog eingebettet. Hier der Code:
    <iframe width="1010" height="732" src="https://maniahub.wordpress.com/" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Jetzt habe ich auf der Startseite einen Link, der genau auf die Seite "News" im Blog-Fenster den Post anzeigen soll. Also, dass standard der Blog auf der Hauptseite angezeigt werden soll, wenn ich aber den Link anklicke, die "News"-Seite mit dem Post angezeigt wird. Gibt es dafür einen Code? Eigentlich müsste es funktionieren. Nur wie?
    Ich danke im Voraus!
    Florian.

    Das wird nicht klappen. Die entsprechenden Widgets holen sich ja immer nur den RSS-Feed und dessen Einstellungen hängen ausschließlich von WordPress ab. Der Link/ Slug des eigentlichen Artikels ist ja für jeden Post auf dem Blog anders. Wenn, dann müßtest du entsprechende WP-Plugins installieren, die benutzerdefinierte Feeds oder Links erzeugen, die sich extern abgreifen lassen und auf ein entsprechendes WP-Query verlinken, das immer unter der gleichen Adresse zu finden ist. Je nachdem, wo dein Blog gehostet ist und ob du dafür was bezahlst oder nicht wird das aber nicht gehen.

  • Cannot connect Contribute to WordPress blog hosted on Startlogic

    I installed WordPress on the server where my website is
    hosted. I want to use Contribute to work on that blog. When I try
    to set up connections, I specify "other hosts" and I enter the URL
    of the blog. After I enter that URL, I can click the "browse"
    button and display the blog. When I clicke "next" I am asked for
    the ID and password, presumably because Contribute has identified
    the API connection. I enter the same ID and password that works
    successfuly when I log in to wp-admin on that server. However, I
    receive a message that Contribute cannot connect to the Blog.
    I am able to connect successfully to my publicly hosted
    WordPress blog. I identified the file to which Contribute is
    connecting for the publicly hosted blog, and I found the same file
    in my WordPress installation on my Startlogic server. However, when
    I specify that path and filename in Contribute, the connection
    fails, saying it cannot connect to the server.
    I opened a ticket with my hosting service, Startlogic, and
    the support techs believe I should be able to connect with the ID
    qatharms that works fine on wp-admin. However, that ID doesn't
    work, and Startlogic cannot tell me what is going wrong. Can
    anybody here give me a clue?

    Hi Dominic
    That's the one thing I can't do right now.  The website & customized (and integrated) blog all share the same menu structure in a common Dreamweaver library item.  So when you update the library item for the menus, this update is shared across both website and blog.  Currently the menus are relatively addressed, for example:
    ../index.html
    ../contact.html
    This works as long as the blog doesn't use sub-directories to file its posts, created by changing the permalink setting in the WordPress server.
    Once you introduce sub-directories then you have to use full URL references to make a shared library item for the menu across website & blog work, for example:
    http://www.domain.com/index.html
    http://www.domain.com/contact.html
    What I'll do is setup another test website / blog arrangement and try your suggestion to see if it fixes the issue.
    Would having Contribute setup for both website & blog cause a problem?  This is how things are now, the first time I've tried this combo.
    Thanks.

  • I cannot upload Photoshop Touch jpegs to my Wordpress blog. I get this error message: ´File type not permitted due to security reasons.´

    Images I retouch in Photoshop Touch and save as jpegs won´t upload to my Wordpress blog. I get this error message: ´File type not permitted due to security reasons.´ I never had this issue before when using photoshop cs or gimp. How can I resolve this issue and continue using Photoshop Touch which otherwise works great with my tablet.

    It seems like you might have to rename them to jpg.

    This is a subject for Wordpress support.    If they can't develop websites that are w3.org compliant, you'll want to use a different blogger.  Also if this difficulty is with Safari, let us know, and we can ask the moderators to move this thread to the Safari forum.

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
