defeated Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi, I want to run a blog. That bit is easy. I also want to have some pages attached to the blog that will run off their own db (not wp). I have done it where the blog was "dropped into" a site before, changing the header to add in the site menu and the css to make it fit in with the rest of the site, but this time I need WP to be the top level. The trouble is I can't figure out how to do it. You can't just plop in a page called 'whatever.php' into the top level of the WP code. I could make a sub directory and direct to that directory from a menu, but I don't know where to put that sub directory. Should it be a child directory of whichever theme folder I'm using or should it be a child directory of the top level directory?

pastcow Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You could put it in the root directory of wordpress, tho upgrading wp after you had done this could be a bit awkward. Placing it in your theme directory would probably be the easiest. Having said that ive setup my own php scripts in a php-code directory of my wordpress root http://www.idontplaydarts.com/code/sudoku-solver/ posts to http://www.idontplaydarts.com/php-code/sudoku/sudoku_flex.php - when i want to upgrade my wordpress I just make sure i dont touch the php-code directory - it might be nicer to house the php-code directory outside of the wp root all together and use an alias to map it back in...

trq Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 You can't just plop in a page called 'whatever.php' into the top level of the WP code. No reason why not. What does your .htaccess file look like?

defeated Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've opted for the sub directory route. It's working fine at myScienceJobs.com. There will be a science jobs page on it too which will have its own database. First I have to do something with that background at the top.
