Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can I install wordpress on an existing asp.net site?Hi Ramoji,
I’m afraid I can’t really help you – neither of my WordPress blogs are integrated with my ASP.NET site in any way – they simply live as separate “sites” in folders on my ASP.NET site.
However, integrating with an ASP.NET site wouldn’t be that hard. You’d need to share navigation, and styles – that should be straight forward. For the navigation, just get the ASP.NET site and the WordPress blog to pull in the same static HTML file. Sharing styles would involve nothing more than sharing the same CSS stylesheet.
Also take a look at the WordPress schema, which is pretty simple – it would be easy to query the WordPress tables from your ASP.NET site to do things like display latest posts on the ASP.NET home page, display latest comments, etc.
Best of luck,
Ceri
p.s. I use the terms “straight forward” and “simple” a couple of times above – this obviously assumes you have experience of PHP and MySQL, which isn’t necessarily the case for an ASP.NET developer. If you don’t have experience with these technologies then it’s a bit trickier, but still very doable.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Can I install wordpress on an existing asp.net site?Sorry for replying to such an old post, but I found this via Google, so thought I’d answer for the benefit of others arriving via a search engine:
I have an ASP.NET site hosted on Windows, and I have two separate WordPress blogs, both running in different folders on my ASP.NET site. Installation was easy (providing your Windows server has PHP and MySQL installed – most do). There was no need to use a new domain, or set up the WordPress blogs on different servers.
Hope that helps,
Ceri
