Wordpress into CakePHP : The right way !

by Sebastien Galarneau

Well, I’ve been using cakephp for like a year full time ! My boss, a couple of weeks ago, needed a site for his brand. So I used cake to do it. After that, he came to me with that idea of making a blog to post some businesses activities.

Well… everyone knows that Wordpress is the best Blog framework ever made ;).

So… he wanted the main blog adress to be like : http://www.example.com/blog/

My first idea was to put the wordpress folder into the webroot and rename it to blog. But after doing all that I realize that cake doesn’t keep the adress to http://www.example.com/blog/ but changes it to : http://www.example.com/app/webroot/blog/.

WordPress to CakePHP

How did I changed it ?
