Just to be clear, I'm not a programmer.  I incorporated wordpress by trial and error, so I recommend backing up your files before making any of these changes.

First, install Wordpress into the root directory of your site following the simple WP installation guide.  ie - http://www.globalplayhouse.com/wordpress

Second.  This example uses the default theme.  Please note:  If you use a different theme, these alterations will need to be duplicated for that specific theme.

Copy the phpmotion CSS and images folder into your Wordpress folder.  (you won't need all the files in the CSS and images folder but it's just easier to copy them all )

Third.  Open the default theme folder within your wordpress folder.  ie - wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/.  Open and edit the header.php file in the default folder by inserting the following codes.

Insert within the head tags


Insert directly after the </head> tag


Remember to replace YOURDOMAIN with your URL.

Now,  to adjust the menu bar for your new tab, you will need to edit the main.css file that is in both your root phpmotion site and your wordpress folder.  This main.css file is found in the CSS folder.  You will need to make two edits in each file.

Find this line - Edit #1


Four lines below this code, you will find the width.  Adjust this number to 111.

Find this line - Edit #2


Four lines below this code, you will find the width.  Adjust this number to 111.

Save the file.  Remember, you need to make these last edits in both your phpmotion main.css and your wordpress.  That's it.   Hope this helps.

I've done this already, sorry, passed my mind to post, liked your guide though

I'm also working on a WP integration, but I'm taking a slightly different approach.

First, I installed WP in a sub folder on my website rather than in the root.  I have PHPmotion installed in the root and didn't want to mix the files together.

Then I created a duplicate copy of the default Wordpress theme, and re-named the folder and edited the theme info in style.css.

Next I copied ONLY the info needed to re-create the tabs, search, etc... from my PHPmotion template's css and pasted it in the top of my new WP theme's CSS file.

Finally I went through and changed the link colors, bg colors, etc... needed to make the WP template match my PHPmotion template.  (I'm still working on this part)

Here's what it looks like so far: http://www.wildcast.tv/b/

Looks like you installed WP in a folder named "wordpress"  That is why the word "wordpress" is in your URLs.

Try re-naming the folder.  You'll have to edit your configuration in WP to use the new folder name.

You can add an rss widget (see google gadget)

Great!  Thanks.

Are you sure you followed this last step?..,because these adustments should resolve your problem.

Changing the width form 111 to a lower number should work.  Try 100.  Hope this helps.
