Marriage of WP and Expression Engine

  • Hello All,

    I have a WP theme that I want to use… distributed by ThemeJunkie… the Resizable Theme… fits our needs beautifully.

    But it’s not on the list of themes selectable from within Expression Engine.

    QUESTION ONE: Will any WP theme work when installed through EE’s dashboard?
    I’m guessing — probably not.

    So, since EE has no trouble reading and writing to MySQL and either does WP…

    QUESTION TWO: Am I better off using WordPress for all the wonderful themes and cosmetic properties – and use EE for all the heavy duty DB stuff?

    Ideally, the WP theme could get installed within EE but then it seems I will lose all of the great (much better) WP GUI and navigation, plugins and add-ons.

    QUESTION THREE: I’ve literally just started working with WP, and I know that we will use many PHP scripts — is there a widget that PHP drops into and just plain works — or am I hoping for too much?

    QUESTION FOUR: Going the other way — would I anticipate trouble merging EE input fields or EE output — onto WP pages?

    Sorry to be such a newbie – but I’ve always asked the “questions” before wasting weeks trying to push a rope.

    Interoperabilty can be such a pain sometimes — I’m hoping not so much so because of the common PHP underpinnings — but I just simply do not know.

    Any and all advice is very welcomed, very much so!

    Thanks in Advance!!!
    Robert
