redjetta Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Im currently hosting with FVS. If I install Wordpress from the control panel, will this override my website that is already there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 If you install WP in the same directory as your current site, then any file with the same name and in the same directory, will likely overwrite any existing file. More specifically, if your existing site has an index.php file, then the index.php file of the WP Install will overwrite that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
administrator Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 You have a couple of options: - Check to see if you can install WordPress in its' own directory. - Make you sites home page index.html - your web server will choose the .html as the default page over the index.php page. ... Personally, I would be installing WP in the sub directory to keep the files in your website clean - don't mix your main site with the WP pages. Unless, you want to make your whole site driven by Wordpress. We've done a few times on the KillerSites network. Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
