Hosting with a WordPress website


#1

Hello,

I'm fairly new to the world of mobile technologies and servers, so I have some questions that hopefully make sense.


I have a Wordpress website for my project and it's hosted at lithium hosting. Is it possible to upload Ushahidi to the site, and make it so the Ushahidi information is available by clicking on a link on my homepage? So it would all be hosted at on lithium hosting, but Ushahidi would be found by clicking a link called, "Incidents." Or something to that effect. Is that possible without a lot of programming?


Thanks for your help

i've same condition with Lucasbhealy.


I use wordpress with hosting from Bluehost, but i think bluehost don't support PHP 5.1.3.


i hope Amazing guys there would make it simple, so even the newbie can do it.

I've setup Ushahidi and Wordpress using the same database on shared hosting platforms on Dotster and on IX Web Hosting.

Should be easy enough to do by installing Usahidi into a subdirectory of your main WordPress site or in a subdomain if your hosting package supports such a thing.


You could even install it into the same database as WordPress. Just make sure you give your Usahidi tables a prefix other than the WordPress default "wp_" so that you don't run into any conflicts.


You should then be able to set up either a WordPress link to http://yourwordpressdomain/UsahidiSubdirectory, or manually edit the HTML in your WP theme to include the link wherever you like.
