1 Views

I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn’t understand how WordPress fully work.

I would like to use WordPress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the WordPress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my WordPress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.

  2. You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don’t do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP’s CMS feature.

    here’s a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.

    1. Your website design (html/css)
    2. Install WordPress on your server, or locally.
    3. Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
    4. Edit the Theme’s CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
    5. Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
    6. If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.

    Items listed above maybe broad, but that’s a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.

    Best of Luck!
