Re: Wordpress from Backlight2

Got it all working, in case anybody else has this issue some of the links on the blog menu did not work as it was not on the same site (home, gallery etc). I fixed this by changing the menu to contain links to the full url of home, gallery etc.

Re: Wordpress from Backlight2

I'm looking at Krystal's documentation on how subdomains are handled: https://help.krystal.co.uk/domains/unde … subdomains

Reading this, you should be able to properly link the WP install in Backlight: url = /subdomainroot

I played a bit with your site and I think that just using url = /blog should do the trick.

Thank Daniel, I have read this three times and also looked at the link but I'm sorry I don't understand

In Krystal I have various folders in my root drive and each one is a site, currently the subdomain blog.peterblandford.com is a separate folder next to peterblandford.com.

Where can I use  "url = /blog?"

According to Krystal's documentation, the subdomain folder is in /public_html which is presumably the folder for your main domain. So yesterday, I tried to see if I can access it directly and was able to do so using http://peterblandford.com/blog/.....jpg. But this doesn't work anymore. I guess you or your host changed something.

So let's try something else:

You could ask your host to make a symbolic link from /wp-content/themes to the themes folder of blog.peterlandford.com. As Ben pointed out, this way you can export the theme from Backlight. But since the local directory points to your blog's theme, the theme there is updated at the same time.

This is something that you can set in backlight/admin in the Wordpress section.

Re: Wordpress from Backlight2

Thanks for explaining Daniel. I think the issue is that I had two versions of the blog, a new one (non working) on peterblandford.com/blog and the original one on blog.peterblandford.com. I have now removed the non working one having copied the theme to the new one.

To be honest, I'm happy now. I know that if I need to update the theme I have to do  it via a dummy blog and then copy it over. Not as slick as if the blog was in the right place but it'll do for now while I get on with other things on the to do list!

I do appreciate yours and Rod's help.
