linekill 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2007 Yes, there is. After creating the subdomain, upload the Wordpress (files) on the root folder of the subdomain. And install it from there. I'm not familiar with databases, but I guess you have to create a database for the WP subdomain installation. So, if you have a subdomain. (subdomain.domain.com).Upload all files to that domain (via FTP or browser). Install wordpress by accessing the subdomain. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or something like it and follow the installation procedure. When completed, the owner of that WP-blog can login at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. If there are errors/comments/questions on the procedure. Please let me know. I'm not a web professional, just thinking that it's possible base on experiences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 subdomainsWordpress On SubdomainsIf you follow the above procedure can you select a different WordPress theme than your homepage? IE blog.Mysite.Com would look different than mysite.Com? Also - can you post seperate ads on a subdomain than a main domain. If your subdomain is about cars and your main domain is about paint could you place ads strictly having to do with cars on the subdomain w/out paint related ads appearing on it from say google adsense?
