Hi! I purchased web hosting early last year but gave up when i tried to set up another website in same account (hosting was with hostgator) ..i then totally stuffed it up trying to follow the directions and placing the 2nd site files within the other somewhere. Anyway i can't remember what i did. I won't be with hostgator this time around. I know how to install wordpress. What i am wanting to do is set up my site with wordpress and then for my wordpress themes i want to have a demo area. so it would be w.ww.designfuschion.com/demo/theme name or something like that. How would i do this? Thankyou heaps, Arcanus
If you have cpanel , you can setup www.domain.com/demo Havent used this but then you could use a theme switcher - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-switcher-reloaded/ so people could see all your themes
tom, thanks for replying,but i'm not looking for a theme switcher. yes i assume the hosting will have cpanel. If this can be explained how to do this then i'll purchase hosting and get it set up. ok maybe i didnt explain myself clearly,last night? the site is going to be my portfolio site. I'm going to use wordpress. i'm creating wordpress themes and i want to put up a demo of my wordpress themes without interefering with main site. Do i just create a subfolder in root directory and place a wordpress installation in that inside first wordpress? I am assuming it would end up looking like designfuschion/demo/name of the theme if anyone can advise me i appreciate it. thanks.
I'm interested in this too. I think that this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-switcher-reloaded/ works. It's used on this site: http://themebot.com/website-templates/wordpress-themes If it isn't exactly what you are looking for I recommend PMing some members that are selling theme sponsorships in this DP catagory that have the designfuschion/demo/name of the theme format. If you find a different way of doing it please post your source here. Thanks! Best of luck
micksss, thanks. ok i guess i should have looked first. I just assumed a theme switcher would switch main page into the theme design which i don't want. If this theme switcher allows theme switching without interefering with main page then thats cool. I just want a no fuss solution. I've tried taking screenshots of my theme-i'm wanting feedback.and the video doesnt show up. ok i've now looked at the themebot example..looks good. I'll definitly update if i use this succesfully within the next day or two. thanks
quick update; I've found a host finally that's within my constrained budget. I'll be purchasing and sorting this out 2moro. Hopefully this is what i'm looking for. I'll be updating here as soon as i know whether this works or not.
