WordPress Integration Video Tutorial

After the popularity of our written tutorial on how to integrate WordPress into any existing website, we found that many people got confused or had a hard time following the written tutorial.

Often copying the code over from the written tutorial was cause for further issues.

WordPress is such a popular and powerful blogging platform that any website can benefit from implementing it. We have found that there is surprisingly little information available on how to easily accomplish this task. The average person is not a PHP guru and may need some assistance in pointing out what needs to be done in order to seamlessly integrate WordPress into their website.

In an effort to further aid the community in easily integrating WordPress into your existing website, we have now documented through a short video how to integrate WordPress into any existing website within 10 minutes!

Follow the step by step instructions in the video below and you can integrate WordPress into any existing website you may have. It doesn’t matter if it’s a CMS or straight HTML website!

If you read the written tutorial you can get an idea of what is needed in order to setup a placeholder blog that you can work from.

Also please remember to delete all the old code once your done working with the individual files. It is shown in all steps except the header.php file in the video. Before saving scroll down and delete all your old code you didn’t use!

You may want to take a peek at the written tutorial on how to integrate wordpress into your existing website before starting.

We hope you find this video useful and look forward to producing more useful tutorials for you in the future. Please don’t forget to leave feedback and link us to view your successful integrations!

    Hi great tutorial! but I am having a small problem, everything displays fine but the body section seems to be ignoring my css. I know the css is properly linked because it works fine for the header. Any ideas what might of happened?

    Thanks for a great tutorial!
  • ctek
    also I noticed the code seems to be slightly different on my default wordpress theme. I upgraded to the latest version recently so I imagine the code may have changed somewhat.
  • Ss
    THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU. I was using a different version of wordpress so some of the code was different but you made the video so easy to follow I managed it ok.

  • This is a really useful tutorial, kudos for it. does anyone know of a tutorial for integrating just the blog portion onto an existing site, just for blogging, not for the whole website? Thanks :)

  • The post of content is very interesting and exciting. I learned a lot from here.The content from simple to complex, so all of you can come in . No matter you want to see what can be found.By the way ,there are some websites is also very wonderful,you can go and see.such as air jordan 16.5

    Thank You for posting it. It was confusing at first (text instruction), but the video tutorial was the best.

  • this isn't working for me and i suspect it's because i didn't have /default as a directory in my themes folder. the default theme was called twentyten and all of these files were in there... is there some way i can still get this to work? thanks.
  • It's wonderful to read about a female poet coming of age in this era, especially with Anne Sexton as a mentor for a short while, but so many other poetic luminaries as well. I'm also finding it encouraging to know, being 38 myself, that one can jumpstart her career at this age. Thank you for this inspiring interview, Julie Kane. http://www.Like-Acer.com

  • This is great. Having a website in an integrated blog really makes a difference, especially when you have a product business. Having a blog makes your website dynamic and fresh, while at the same time you can control your content as much as you want to.

    Thanks for these tips.

    Great job ,
    Tanks a lot !!!!
  • Alex
    its me again, alex, so do i have to have this uploaded to a hosting company and what are you talking about when you say that you need to put in a url of your wordpress into the header part.
  • Alex
    its me again alex, im so confused, when opening the header php script you say select the header, well are you talking about everything inbetween and or everything inbetween the body tag ?? HELP
  • Alex
    Can this still work even though i havent uploaded my website up to a server or hosting company yet. How would i go about it if i havent uploaded my website to a hosting.
  • I'm trying to follow this tutorial and use it for my Joomla site. I'm using an article as the page for my blog. When I view source all I can see is the article text not the header/footer info.

    Any ideas?
  • Kam
    Hi,

    Great tutorial. One question I have is how do I set it for my blog page to dynamically grow in height as my content increases? I could use a scroll bar I suppose, but that wouldn't be my ideal solution.

    Cheers

    After looking at this video umpteen times, I still don't get why this should work. When you copied the placeholder code and put it into those separate index, header, footer PHP files, you never put them into an html file to make it match the rest of your site. Did you miss a step? Also, why do you have to make separate PHP files in the beginning anyway?
  • jjj321
    Please, please, could you help me?
    As a dreamweaver/wordpress novice i am struggling even to get the header.php file right!
    The website I want to integrate my blog into is built from a template .dwt so when I use a blank html page from original site, part of the code I want to edit is greyed out.
    Also, the bottom part of the original header.php is greyed out so I can't delete it.
    In your instrucitons, you mention putting the full url into all the files - I don't seem to have these other than the <link href="mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    One final thing, can i just upload the header.php file to see if I've done that bit right before moving on to editing the other files?
    It's probably all really simple but I'm very confused and would love to start blogging!
    Thank you for your help.

  • Thank you so much! This tutorial was great- I was able to get my blog integrated in only one viewing :) I'll be sure to share!
  • Larry
    The website integration worked like a charm. Two other questions, where do I get add my blog title so it appears at the side of the page and how do I hide the Meta links and Blogroll links?
  • well, To find more Accelerators from the Accelerator fly-out menu, select More Accelerators .
  • John-SunlineX
    That's very wonderful software.
    Does it supply a Japanese version by the language choice?
    Because I saw it, I am thinking a little I want to use it.
  • show ... Just wondering, is this integration tutorial purely for people ...
  • Akos Kovacs
    This is a very good tutorial, but you should translate it to other languages, also the video tutorial, I think. The support is very good.
  • Since I don't speak other languages that would be difficult. If you speak another language maybe you can assist me in translating it into your language :)
  • akay1
    I've tried following this and the accompanying text tutorial several times now and invariably end up with a blank white page once I've uploaded the header, footer, and index files. When I view the page's source, it's also blank. Any suggestions?
  • The page isn't loading. It's a problem with the header.php file. Send me an email with your code and I'll point it out to you. info@burnseo.com
  • I just want to say THANKS!!. This was exactly what I was looking for. And very well explained by this video.
    You are the best.

    Mark
  • Thanks Mark :)
  • Thank you soo much for this tutorial it was a life saver. but for some reason I can't get the single.php file to look like the rest of my pages.
    the other parts of the tutorial went fine though. if you wouldn't mind looking at my code to see what's going wrong. and you didn't quiet explain the placement of the sidebar thing. but other than that this was an extremely Great tutorial

    thank you soo much. i have been pulling my hair out trying to make this last page work.
  • Do the same thing you did with the index.php file. Just take the html from the body and add the php code from the single.php file. Also insert your sidebar and you should be good to go.
  • tim
    I did everything, but when i pull up the page on my own site, it only shows the generic post from Wordpress. It seems like wordpress is not sending all the posts to display on my website. Can anyone help me?
  • sounds like maybe a database issue? Did you get this resolved?
  • destinyislands
    Pretty useful integration vid, thanks!
  • Gareth Hunt
    i'm trying to follow this, but when you saved the header file it seems like you still had all the old code left??
  • Richard
    In the video, he put in text that you must erase the left over code at the end, If you do this, it works perfectly.
  • Thank you Richard. There is both a reference in the written text before the video and also a popup text in the video reminding to remove the old text from the header file.

    I made a horrible mistake in editing and cut that section out :(. It was my first video tutorial so I won't make that mistake again in future tutorials :)
  • Gareth Hunt
    Thanks for the tutorial, Got this all working now!

    Only thing i have left to is add sidebars when a visitor clicks the 'archive' and 'category' widgets. Is this simple to do? Thanks.
  • Excellent question!

    You just open up the archive.php and use the index.php code as it's base. Replace the main content form the index.php with the old main content from the archive.php and it will be integrated :)
