VWP is still in development! Do NOT use on a production website.
VWP stands for "Vanilla WordPress" and it lets you have Vanilla as a front-end and WordPress be a back-end tool to manage articles.
Prerequisites:
- Your WordPress installation MUST be fresh with no content. There is no batch/import scripts for existing posts at this moment.
- Vanilla must be installed at the root of your website.
- WordPress must be installed in a sub-folder one level down from your Vanilla installation. The folder it's installed in could be named anything.
- For example, the root folder of my website
/
has my Vanilla installation. In this folder, I can see thebootstrap.php
file from Vanilla. In this same folder, I have another folder calledwp
that contains my complete WordPress installation.
Steps:
- For Vanilla, copy the
vwp
folder from theVanilla-Application
folder into your Vanilla installation's/applications
folder. - Enable the VWP application from the Vanilla dashboard and configure its settings for the WordPress database connection.
- For WordPress, copy the
vwp
folder from theWordPress-Plugin
folder into your WordPress installation's/wp-content/plugins
folder. - Enable the VWP plugin from the WordPress admin pages and configure its setting for the Vanilla path.
