Use WP as top domain CMS but blog at subdomain

Little help please…

I really need this, nobody has any ideas how can I achieve it?

You can set your home page to a “Static” page with no Posts,

Pages can be used then for additional information you want to show visitors. The book “WordPress for Dummies” has a whole section on CMS and WordPress.

You don’t need to have two locations unless your blog is not related to your main business (if you wanted a blog for friends and family for example) – The above link also shows how to display Posts as part of the main section but set up so that Visitors need to click on your blog to see the Posts.

But that’s not what I want.

I don’t need to have two locations but I want to have two locations. That’s how I want to organize my website.

I want all my pages to be accessible through:
https://www.mydomain.com (front page with some content)
https://www.mydomain.com/about-me
https://www.mydomain.com/contat
https://www.mydomain.com/projects
etc…

And my blog accessible through:
https://blog.mydomain.com (front page with latest posts)
https://blog.mydomain.com/feed
https://blog.mydomain.com/archives
https://blog.mydomain.com/tag/something

I really want to organize my website like this if it’s possible…

You can have two separate WordPress installs on most host sites (I have two on my home site – they are in sub directories but I could put one in a sub-domain if I wanted)

There are several ways to do what you want – the one that I am familiar with is:

Section One: mydomain.com

Section Two: blog.mydomain.com

Most hosts allow that – WordPress has no problem with two independent installs – There is the ability to put both installs on one database but I have never tried it.

This deals with sub directory installs but a sub-domain should be abut the same – look in “Docs” (top of this page) for more specific help – sorry I don’t have the link handy

I would like to avoid the double install if it’s possible… I will have to do that already for a multilingual blog (none of the existing plugins satisfy my needs for the moment). Doing that again, would leave me with 4 WP installs.

Really painful to maintain…
