Backlight & Wordpress in same directory

Hi,

I like to install Backlight and Wordpress in the same directory (make this sense?)

For the galleries this work fine, because they are under the folder "galleries". For pages there is a problem. Backlight uses the same path as wordpress like mydomain.com/home

Maybe with some changes of the rewrite rules it could be work - can someone tell me how this can work or which chnages are necessary?

Thanks

Andreas

Re: Backlight & Wordpress in same directory

If using Backlight pages you cannot install WordPress at the same level as Backlight.

If you want a site based on Backlight, install WordPress in a sub folder (name it “blog” or something)

If you want a site based on WordPress, install the backlight/ folder at the same level, just don’t upload the index.php and .htaccess files from the root of the unzipped Backlight Installer folder. You will then be unable to create pages via Backlight. Use WordPress for that.

Re: Backlight & Wordpress in same directory

I use this on my site. If anyone needs help, add your question to this thread.

domain/backlight/ <- BL code
domain/photos/ <- all my gallaries
domain/wp/ <- WordPress install
