Legal to put WP on another site in an iFrame? (6 posts)

    Is it legal to place a WordPress blog on another site by embedding it in an iFrame? For example, MySite.com has sections for products, support, etc. which are all internally hosted. I've been asked to add a WordPress blog, which would appear at MySite.com/blog and be placed in our template (wrapped by MySite's header and footer) in an iFrame. I have a mock-up that works, but I don't know if it's legal to implement WP this way.

    There's nothing illegal about surrounding your WordPress installation within an iframe in your own site. Not good for SEO, but not illegal.

    A better implementation is to customize the theme of your WordPress installation to take on the layout of your existing site. This way is better practice for sure.

    Unfortunately our header & footer contains necessary back-end code (Java & JavaScript, not PHP) and I don't think a customized theme could replicate the functionality.

    Thanks for the info, but we're strictly a Java shop.

  6. You can include Java and JS in a theme (I'm just sayin).
