WordPress running within umbraco

  • Hi everyone,

    I have a pretty advanced question. I’ve installed wordpress on a .NET server running umbraco and added the blog in a subfolder called “blog”.

    Surprisingly, it runs! and I managed to import the old blog into it.
    What my problem is, that the umbraco configuration overrides whatever PHP defaults there once were there and my links don’t work.

    I need to make index.php as the default page. I’ve added it on IIS7 but due to umbraco configuration default.aspx remains the correct one.
    As a result going to https://www.mydomain.com/blog/ crashes. I need to manually enter https://www.mydomain.com/blog/index.php in order to make it work.

    Has anyone tried installing wordpress in an umbraco project before and if so, what sort of web.config configuration in Umbraco can make the blog work properly again?

    Many thanks

    I think the solution is either

    a) Adding the correct keys in UrlRewriting.config (urlrewritingnet)

    b) Somehow excluding the blog folder from any config rules.

    Looking forward to responses

    I have resolved it.

    Hi nkomp18,

    I’m really interested in your solution.

    I’m an Umbraco developer and would like to do exactly what you did.

    Can you post how you did this?
