Question on vbulletin and wordpress
 

Hello everyone,

I run an online forum called SustainabilityForum.com and the URL for the vbulletin forum is........./forum

I want to install wordpress on the main URL, so www.sustainabilityforum.com.

Has anyone done that before? And if yes where there any problems? And you as a webmaster, designer, programmer do you see any problems with that generally?

I guess I only need to create a new database, install wordpress on the main URL and it should work right? Or would it screw up my vbulletin?

Or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help everyone.

It's pretty easy to do, and it's done on a pretty common basis. Given that your forum resides in the /forum/ directory, there won't be a need to move anything.

However, are you planning on having the same user logins for both? If so, you'll need to look for a plugin.

Hello CrazyTech. Thanks for the hads up.

No I am not planning to have the same login. I just want to be able to run a blog on top of the forum.

Regards,
Fabian

-OR-
You can keep the forum at / instead of /forum/ and change the forum's index.php to forum.php and set it up thru admincp.
Then once you finish that, you can install the blog

I forget what it is called but there is a plugin for this. I have used it. It is very easy to use and only takes a couple minutes to get going.

yes it can be done, on wp you can specify the url or folder to use using fantastico.
on vb you can install it on the /forum folder without screwing up each other.
