WordPress for Joomla! now compatible with Joomla 2.5!

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.

If you need a serious blogging component for Joomla, WordPress for Joomla is a dream come true.

Here are just a few of Wordpress for Joomla’s powerful features:

- WordPress for Joomla is EASY to install!
- Can power multiple blogs on your site from multiple authors!
- Can run thousands of powerful native WordPress plugins on your blog. You can even use Joomla content plugins on your WordPress posts, too!
- Includes built-in commenting, trackbacks, and pingbacks.
- Comes with 8 exclusive Joomla modules that will broadcast your latest WordPress blogs (multi-users), latest blog posts, recent blog comments & more throughout your entire Joomla site
- Comes with a free default theme; and also works with most 3rd party Joomla! templates. WordPress for Joomla will inherit styles from your website template right out of the box ensuring your blog always matches yours site!
- Integrates with JomSocial--the #1 community-creation software for Joomla
- Can import “MyBlog” posts into your new WordPress for Joomla blog, so switching is easy
- Supports Ping-O-Matic, which helps you promote your blog by pinging popular sites every time you post a new entry

WP4J is an awesome extension. Read/Follow install instructions and in no time, you're rollin. Written and video documentation is excellent, and their support department is quick to handle any issues that might arise. ... If there was a 6 start rating, they would get it from me.

Where can you get a product that works correctly, has great support, and is reasonably affordable? Here! This is the product. These developers have created a application for WordPress that will interface with your Joomla CMS and it works. Support questions are answered within a reasonable time frame - if not right away. Andy and Collin are exceptional developers and understanding when it comes to supporting their product. Great job and many best wishes.

I am using Joomla 2.5 and the Joomla-recommended cloudaccess.net template that is free for general use. Based on the listing in extensions.joomla.com and the reviews, I thought it would work. And it sort of does. The main content area takes on my template formatting. The sidebars do not. So it's working... sort of. Not entirely.

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.

Having shied away from customising a Wordpress theme to match my existing website, I wanted a Wordpress plugin which would inherit my Joomla template. Enter Wordpress for Joomla. Easy to install and to get SEF URLs set up. However, the blog page CSS still needed tweaking to match my template exactly (eg to move content header up and left). I couldn't locate the relevant CSS. Raised a ticket with Corephp. Had a reply and answer within 10 minutes. Great product. Superb support.

I have been using wordpress for Joomla for about 6 months on two test servers and finally on a production server. Andy at CorePHP is amazing at helping you work through issues that come about.

I choose this extension to add area for our staff, clubs, teams, and departments to create sites that are searchable within Joomla site.

I downloaded this extension two weeks ago, and have been thoroughly pleased with the support I've received. I have AceSEF installed as well, which conflicted a bit with the Wordpress for Joomla! Extension, but the CorePHP team (and Andy especially) went above and beyond in helping me get everything working the way it should. They were very responsive, and helped me configure the template professionally (this isn't standard nor were they required to do so, but again, they went above and beyond and for that I am very, very grateful).

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 initially purchased and licensed the Word Press extension from CorePHP for one domain, but ended up installing it on another... I didn't give it a second thought. However, as a result, it was not functioning properly. I contacted tech support and received a prompt response, they looked over the installation, realized what had occurred, helped me resolve the issue quickly and easily. It works! It's great! Thanks for a great extension and superb tech support!

I had a very specific situation where I was looking for a blogging software upgrade for a Joomla! project I had been working on. First I tried doing an article blog with a 3rd party commenting system. It didn't really work. I decided I needed to add stronger blogging functionality to the site and that I would probably need to purchase 3rd party software. Several of the functionality examples my client gave me were WordPress websites, and I didn't want to rebuild her website in WordPress.

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!

I had two problems not entirely related to the excellent component. Corephp support correctly identified and solved the problems for my client. Thanks guys for the great and accurate support.

This product has become standard in all my installs. It provides the ease of use many of my customers are already familiar with (using Wordpress) with my expertise with Joomla! Who could ask for more. Support was excellent when I couldn't find a misconfiguration on my part as well. HIGHLY recommend!

As a total newbie to Joomla! and to Wordpress, I've run into our share of problems, particularly when trying to do SEO (SEF URLS, in particular) which let to a lot of broken links, misdirects etc.

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.

I first downloaded this just over a year ago and it has proved to be an excellent purchase. Was easy to import my wordpress blog into my joomla site and the support I've received from corephp has been first class.

I had my webmaster install the wordpress blog into my joomla website, but he was experiencing trouble with the search engine friendly urls. So he contacted the support, who was extremely friendly and helpful. The support fixed the problem and now the wordpress blog is running without any trouble. One thing I really like, too, is that the design of my Joomla Site was transferred without any problem to the wordpress blog, so it has got exactly the same look like my website. Great!

In the last 2 years I've had to migrate a lot of clients to WordPress for ease of use but Joomla! is still the "better" product for advanced websites. CorePHPs Wordpress for Joomla! allows me to give my clients the best of all worlds - and it works! For anyone that thinks $69.95 is too much all I can say is it's worth every penny and I keep my subsription current. The support is great and I'm sure the time these guys have given me with my "oh geez I should have known that" questions has eaten up at least that much in their time.

Corephp is very helpful for any issue I'm having thus far. This is a great add to two of my client websites and they are jazzed since they are both familiar with Wordpress.

Nice product!

The component and team behind the component are one of the best teams creating components for Joomla. There are a handful of groups out there helping Joomla become the leader in CMS's and CorePHP is at the top of this group.

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.
Owner's reply

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

A blog function integrated into our website was important to us. Having use WordPress, we were certain this was the blog tool we wanted and phpCORE was able to provide it. While it may be a bit more money than expected, it is money well paid. We had CorePHP do the installation on our site, which was done over a weekend. They also worked with us to fix a few issues that we introduced while playing with it. Finally, they helped us modify the php code to eliminate their branding. Nothing like great technical support to go with a great product!

WordPress for Joomla is the merging of two great platforms. CorePHP has provided a great tool that is easy to use. I've installed three instances of WordPress for Joomla. All three took less than 10 minutes to install, set up and make live. I ran into two small issues that ended up being because of me not understanding the product. They were quick to respond and provide clear steps to help me understand and resolve the issues.
