Display Wordpress
While Wordpress for Joomla can be used as it's own website within the Joomla domain (ex: yourdomain.com/blog where blog is the wordpress site), it's real power comes from integrating seemlessly with Joomla. The Wordpress blog content takes on the style from your Joomla template for each blog post, and you can even display the Wordpress Widgets in your Joomla site!
In this tutorial, we will show you how to display your wordpress blog posts right in Joomla! using Wordpress for Joomla!
- Navigate from the top menu of the administrator dashboard in Joomla to Menu > Main Menu > Add new menu item:
- In the details tab, click the Select button in the Menu Item Type line
- Choose Category from the Wordpress Dropdown as shown:
- Wordpress for Joomla will pull your Wordpress site's categories and display then inside of your Joomla Administration in the New Menu Item as shown below. Choose which category you want to display in Joomla (for this tutorial, "Uncatagorized" came as the Wordpress default, and I added "blog", "news" and "events" categories in the Wordpress dashboard.
- Give your Menu Item a Title. Since I chose "News", the Joomla menu title will be "News" (but you can name the Joomla Menu Item anything you want, of course). Once done, click Save & Close.
- Going to the Front End of your Joomla site, you will now see a new menu item called "News". Click it.
- You will now see your posts show up in your Joomla site that were created in the Wordpress site!
