WordPress Blog for Joomla!





- This extension requires registration to download.
We’ve combined the most popular blogging platform (WordPress 3.0) with the most popular CMS (Joomla) to create the most powerful blogging component ever made for Joomla.
Packed with all of WordPress’s professional blogging tools, you can now harness the power of Wordpress without ever leaving Joomla. It’s a Joomla blogger’s new best friend.
Look, we all love Joomla. But in all honesty, its blogging features are severely lacking. Ask any serious blogger what powers their blog and they will almost always say, “WordPress!”
And so that’s why we created WordPress for Joomla - to give Joomla users the best of both worlds. WordPress for Joomla gives you instant access to all of WordPress’s awesome blogging tools right INSIDE your Joomla CMS. Now you can use what the pros use (Wordpress) AND enjoy everything Joomla has to offer at the same time.

I had three tickets out to the support staff. One was unresolved. One I resolved after 3 days of no real replies. And the third they asked me to pay them to resolve, without indicating what the problem could be. In all cases, replies take a minimum 24 hours, with 48h common. The last few replies were confusing to me, because the developer first insisted that although the font, font color, font size were all different between my site and the WP module, he saw no difference between the two. When I provided screenshots to go with the super-admin login he had and the site URL he had used to make his original diagnosis, he asked for money. When I asked what he thought was wrong, he claimed that I could see that it supported other templates and the issue was mine. Note that no other templates are in my system, so I don't know how he tested that.
I'm willing to pay for additional coding if required, but in this case I felt that the support staff were not really reading or responding to my specific issues, and therefore couldn't be trusted to fix the actual problem.
So... the support was pretty bad. The template half-works. But I guess I have something that I can maybe try to fix myself now.
And I paid for this.
I choose this extension to add area for our staff, clubs, teams, and departments to create sites that are searchable within Joomla site.
Just so everyone knows, I did some research on this ahead of time, but it wasn't immediately clear to me so I had to call them, but if you're reading this and wondering if the Wordpress template will work with your site design through Joomla, the short answer is YES. The default template is specially set up by the CorePHP team to inherit all of the styles from your current Joomla template, so you won't have any issues at all.
Anyway, I give this product five stars. The CorePHP team deserves it for a stellar product and great service -- rare in the world of software extensions.
I took a chance on this software. It is perfect, and perfectly solved everything I needed. The support is also incredible. From pre-sales questions, to post-install customization requests; A+++ Support.
2 negatives which I think adversely affect the product however: after purchase of software, author tags have to be manually removed (there shouldn't be author back-links in commercial software in my opinion). And also the author attempts to sell the product as a re-occurring yearly subscription, which is somewhat mis-leading, and I almost didn't buy the product because of this. After poking around in the fine details, I found that you can cancel the subscription, and it's not required.
Overall rating for me is 4.8 out of 5!! Thanks!
But once I figured out how to access tech support at corePHP, I was very pleasantly surprised by the help we got. Andy Poorman was absolutely wonderful -- always responded quickly, communicated well, stuck with us until the problem was solved, patient with our questions, etc.
He even wrote some new code to solve the problem, and its been fine since.
Seamless integration, beyond amazing support. They work all hours and reply no later than next day. I only needed support because of a stupid oversight that had nothing to do with the WP 4 Joomla component but they helped out anyway.
Wordpress is a great solution for clients to who want a blog in their website and you don't want to get into the inner workings of the Joomla Back-end with them.
A must if you need a blog in your site.
Thank you for your kind words and we're glad you enjoyed our component! I want to clarify for others reading the part where it says "they work all hours and reply no later than next day" that we are very dedicated to our support but our support center is open 9 AM to 5 PM EST, Monday through Friday so not officially "all hours".
We thank you for your review.
Best,
'corePHP' Support Team
