Adding it to your forum site that is.  I'm having a devil of job trying to get this set upI got so far as installing and setting up WordPress on the wwwroot folder which worked but managed to take out all my archived forum infrastructure, so obviously I took the blog out altogether and went back to the drawing board (after Bruce kindly retrieved my archives for me  )Have tried unsuccessfully to reinstall by creating a blog folder on the wwwroot which installed OK with a start up post page but then failed to link up with vital things like the Dashboard which was also apparently installed on the blog folder and got this warning come up for all the login, set up and install files I could see were 'there' (mywebsite.org.uk used to protect the innocent and easily embarassed ). In this example using the blog folder...Warning: require_once(C:\HostingSpaces\TNT\mywebsite.org.uk\wwwroot/blog/wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\HostingSpaces\TNT\mywebsite.org.uk\wwwroot\blog\wp-admin\install.php on line 36 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'C:\HostingSpaces\TNT\mywebsite.org.uk\wwwroot/wp-load.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\pear') in C:\HostingSpaces\TNT\mywebsite.org.uk\wwwroot\blog\wp-admin\install.php on line 36 As you may guess I'm a complete techno-numpty even with a nice WebWiz CP interface to use but I'm fast coming to the conclusion that having a forum (decommissioned archive) and a blog on the same site won't work? Except I've seen them on other forum sites so it must work somehow? Or do you know different - any ideas or inspiration on how to get this up and running as it wants to install but then trips up when I set a path that won't wipe out the rest of the site Mods - please do move this to a more appropriate forum if I've gone and posted it somewhere silly

The URL Rewriting in WordPress means that you can not install WordPress in the root of the website and Web Wiz Forums in a sub folder. You would need to move Web Wiz Forums to it's own website under a sub domain such as forum.example.com, you will then be able to have WordPress hosted in the root of the main website. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

You would need to have a free website that is not in use to use for the sub domain for your forum. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Looks like I'll have to rethink then as I currently have no WebWiz hosted sites free to take the forum database Thanks for your help with this
