Question   How do I add a theme to WordPress?

A. Yes, but once installed you would need to edit them through our software and not anymore through WordPress !

A. The code below can be used to modify the paths used inside of WordPress when transferring to a new domain, or to a new path on the same domain. Only run the file once and then delete it from the server. Also, first backup the database incase you run into any issues.

<?php
include("dbconn.php");

$wpDB = "vsnwp"; //WordPress Database Name
$wpOldPath = "domain.com/blog"; //The old path to WordPress content
$wpNewPath = "new-domain.com"; //The new path to WordPress content

mysql_select_db($wpDB);
 
 
$results = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE guid LIKE '%".$wpOldPath."%'");
$numrows = $results->num_rows;
while($resRow = $results->fetch_assoc())
{
	$tID = $resRow["ID"];
	$tGuid = $resRow("guid");
	$tGuid = str_replace($wpOldPath, $wpNewPath, $tGuid);
	if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $tGuid = addslashes($tGuid);
	$mysqli->query("UPDATE wp_posts SET guid='".$tGuid."' WHERE ID=".$tID);
}

$results = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%".$wpOldPath."%'");
while($resRow = $results->fetch_assoc())
{
	$tID = $resRow["ID"];
	$tGuid = $resRow["post_content"];
	$tGuid = str_replace($wpOldPath, $wpNewPath, $tGuid);
	if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $tGuid = addslashes($tGuid);
	$mysqli->query("UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content='".$tGuid."' WHERE ID=".$tID);
}


$results = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_value LIKE '%".$wpOldPath."%'");
while($resRow = $results->fetch_assoc())
{
	$tID = $resRow["meta_id"];
	$tGuid = $resRow["meta_value"];
	$tGuid = str_replace($wpOldPath, $wpNewPath, $tGuid);
	if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $tGuid = addslashes($tGuid);
	$mysqli->query("UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value='".$tGuid."' WHERE meta_id=".$tID);
}
?>


Additional Steps:
Make sure to update wp_options table where you see former domain name to using the new domain.
In WP Multisite (Our WP Replicating Blog feature) you must also update the wp_blogs table where you see the old domain in the domain field for each site.

Subdomains for Members

By default, all members have a sub domain created for them for their primary page.  The sub domain looks like: username.mydomainname.com

Subdomains for other Purposes

Yes, a sub domain can added and you can do anything you want with that subdomain.  Any member with a username that matches the subdomain would not be able to use the subdomain for their primary page.

Shared Hosting
If you have shared hosting then we would need to edit the DNS records on our end as a support request. When doing this, we can have the sub domain point to another hosting account (where you have hosting elsewhere) and we will have the subdomain point to it.  Then, you can do whatever you like on that separate hosting account (exa: install WordPress).

Dedicated Server
If you have a dedicated server with us then on the server page you can add a domain for the server and it creates a folder for it.  When doing it this way you would enter the full domain (exa: subdomain.mydomain.com).  WordPress or anything else you want can be installed in that folder for that subdomain.

WordPress Multisite

When using the WordPress tool you are unable to do subdomains for that WordPress site.  The WordPress tool uses WordPress multisite so each member has their own login to WordPress to manage their own blog.

A. No, our platform is not a WordPress plugin and you do not need WordPress.  It has it's own WYSIWYG editor, and you can turn off the editor and use HTML.
