Title: Switch to WordPress Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Switch to WordPress * [khushalbhadra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khushalbhadra/) * (@khushalbhadra) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-to-wordpress-1/) * Well friends I am new to WordPress and to learn I have locally installed WP on my computer. * I originally run the website * [http://www.gospelofdoom.in/](http://www.gospelofdoom.in/) * and I just wanna switch the entire website to WordPress. I have been so far able to create pages and add new themes and stuff. * I was just wondering how will I be able to make a list of bands as I have done it on my above mentioned website. Is there a way that I create a database of band list and that inturn be displayed on WP and to be able to have an new search option for it as well. * Is it possible?

But “Switch to” is real generic, you want to have your header ask the question, all the help here is provided by unpaid volunteers, you need your question to grab someone passing by that has dealt with a similar problem in the past. Depending on when a post is placed, there are low traffic times on this site when there are not many people looking at the posts so it might be a while for someone to stop by. * Like writing a headline for a news story. * Good luck * [Mark / t31os](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t31os_/) * (@t31os_) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-to-wordpress-1/#post-1461442) * It’s ok the title is sufficient.. and i think the space time continium is ok for the moment, i’ve not experienced any anomalies… (couldn’t help myself, your comment made me chuckle). * khushalbhadra you can query another database in WordPress but it’s not really a simple process, the easier course of action would be to add a new table in the WordPress database and make calls to the custom table. * However based on what you’ve said above it’s not clear whether you have this data in a database already, or whether you’re asking how to put and fetch that data (ie. are you asking how you can write this information to a database? – that’s not something can easily be explained unless you have experience with inserting and retrieving database information). * This page is probably the most relevant in terms of dealing with custom queries. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class) * To answer your question, “Is it possible”, most things are… it’s really down to your level experience and how much time you have on your hands. * Thread Starter [khushalbhadra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khushalbhadra/) * (@khushalbhadra) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-to-wordpress-1/#post-1461551) * thanks for your help friends. Its like if you can check out this website * [http://www.metal-archives.com/](http://www.metal-archives.com/) * it has list of all bands that you can search that are stored in via a method involving database storage. I suppose this would require alot of knowledge on mysql and php which I dont. * However, aint there any easy work around to have a list of bands stored on my website. * you can check my website mentioned on my first post and select bands even bands list displayed the way it is using WordPress would be cool enough. * Thread Starter [khushalbhadra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khushalbhadra/) * (@khushalbhadra) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-to-wordpress-1/#post-1461552) * t3os I do not have this information in database if you check my website you will come to know that its just a plain html I have used for my website. check this out :- * [http://www.gospelofdoom.in/documents/images.html](http://www.gospelofdoom.in/documents/images.html) * even the technique that I have used on this website can be used in WP would be awesome.** Creating a List of bands according to the Alphabetical order.** Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Switch to WordPress’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 4 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [khushalbhadra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khushalbhadra/) * Last activity: [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switch-to-wordpress-1/#post-1461552) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
