    I’m completing my internship developing a website for my client using WordPress.org and the Total WP theme. She is a whole foods nutritionist, so the site features blogs, recipes and videos. She has recently begun working with another group of interns to create a software program that she eventually wants to integrate with her website for visitors to use through the website. The software interns raised a concern that the software may not work as part of a WordPress website. I am fairly new to this and my searches on the topic haven’t been successful. So – is it possible to integrate a software program into a WordPress.org website? TIA

    It is definately possible, and there’s a few ways of doing it, which will depend on how the other software package is built.

    First (and easiest), you can set up an iframe that displays the other system. It’sa bit crude but it will work.

    Secondly, you might be able to integrate the other system into a plugin.

    Lastly, there’s always a (very small) chance that there will be an API built into the other system that you can use.

    So, you’ll need to find out just how the other systemworks before you plan on too much. But, it should be able to be done.

    Another option is to use javascript, the app loads in one of your pages and runs in the browser.
    It really depends upon just what the app does and how it is written.

    Thank you so much for the responses! It’s very early days on the software development, so at this point not completely sure how he will implement it. I just wanted to make sure it was possible at his point. Really appreciate your time!
