I’m building a website from scratch (PHP, jQuery) and want to have full control over the design, implementation, etc.
I want to install WordPress so that when you go to a certain section of the site, the blog link in the menu bar, it takes you to root/blog/ but I don’t want to have to use a template and design the rest of the site around it.
Obviously, I don’t want the blog pages’ design to be uniform with the rest of the site.
Surely this is possible right?
If not, then I’ll settle for suggestions on a different, more appropriate technology but I think this should be possible.
Edit:
Is there is a way to set it up so that the user would use the wordpress.com site for admin and I simply integrate it with a PHP API. That would be fine also
Include
wp-load.phpon your page and you’ll have access to the WordPress API.It’s a lot easier than you might think. Simply install WordPress into the /blog/ folder. It will not affect the rest of your site.
