Use WordPress on Yola
I am looking at SynthaSite to possibly host my website. I currently have a WordPress blog and want to continue to use their blogging system on your servers. Is this possible?
I’m undecided

Hi Kaytrim,
WordPress won't work with SynthaSite - we have our own blogging platform! We have a tutorial that explains how it works: http://www.synthasite.com/tutorials/b....
If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Inappropriate?Hello Kaytrim,
You can host your website to synthasite, as long your current server support DNS Management which allow you to transfer and host your domain to any server that support website hosting, but i cant be sure if WordPress support DNS control.

Inappropriate?If you want to use wordpress bloging system on synthasite i think it won't be possible because synthasite has it's own system (which is cool !) you can try to search for some free hosting only sites there you can use wordpress.
If you own a domain then you can easily point it towarads synthasite for free through DNS settings.
Thats all I know you can wait for an official reply.

Inappropriate?HI Kaytrim
If you want to keep using the blog you have already built with Wordpress, your best option would be to link to this blog from your SynthaSite site. The others are correct, there is no way to transfer the Wordpress blog to us. -
Inappropriate?Thank you everyone for your input. I just switched to WordPress from Blogger and I don't want to switch to another blogging package so quickly. to get the functionality I am looking for, e-commerce, blog, photo gallery, etc I need to find a host as WordPress.org has too many restrictions. I'll be looking elsewhere.
I’m disapointed

What restrictions does wordpress.org have? As for as I can see it's the most open platform.

Inappropriate?This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
can I use Wordpress with Yola? If so, how do I get started.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?I just recently downloaded my Yola site to a zipped file and then uploaded it to my host provider thinking I would have more flexibility with the Yola site once it was on my own server. All this is a test to see if I want to go further with Yola as a business venture so I can offer these sites to my own clients. Here is what I discovered:
1 - as soon as I tried to link to my WordPress site it was a no-go. Yola has a router/redirect code running so that it circumvents the WordPress link - at least as far as I can tell I can't get it to work.
2 - I tried to bring my Yola site into Dreamweaver again thinking I could take the basics of Yola, add to them, and then upload to my own server BUT no go. While I can see the code, there are no visuals for me to modify. It is weird - but again, I think a site made with Yola, even once you download the zipped site file, redirects back out to Yola somewhere to pull the graphics. So you can't enhance these sites - you are strictly limited to Yola's options. While they are good options, they may not be enough for you.
If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Inappropriate?If I can just add one more comment, while the blog platform available through Yola is nice, it lacks a lot of basic customization. I can't even change point sizes of the headings and they are so huge it really looks ridiculous. Using this blog wouldn't be so bad except that there are very few controls. I think you could maintain your signature simplicity but still offer a little more design control in terms of the typography.1 Comment Add a comment

Hello Jane
We realize the need to improve our blogging system and it is something we have on our future list of things to do. It would be great if you could list some suggestions that you feel the current blogging system needs further improvement. We are always eager to hear feedback from our users. -
Inappropriate?I realised that when using the blog, it will always be signoff as the registered user on Yola.com. I am wondering if it is possible to signoff as the site name instead? this is becos' when you have different sites created, but do want to have it signoff in your blog as the site name instead of the registered name. As the registered name may not be very relevant to the blog on each site. For you consideration.
I’m happy.

Hi agelocasia,
By default the author name of your post is the name you used when you created your account. You can edit this by clicking on the "Edit Profile" link on your "My Sites" page (the page you see when you first log into your account). Any new posts you create after changing your account information should reflect your new name. However, you first need to log out and then log back in again before new posts start to appear under your new name.
For existing posts, or if you do not wish to change the name associated with your account, you can edit your name as follows:
1. Double click on the title of the post.
2. In the post editor dialog box, click on the "Advanced" tab.
3. You can then manually edit the name for your post.
