How To Host Your WordPress Blog In A Sub-Folder, Hosted Separately
I had an interesting situation to deal with for a client. His main website was hosted somewhere else on a proprietary system, yet he wanted his WordPress blog to look like it was part of the same website. He wanted his blog to show up in a sub-folder despite the fact that it was hosted somewhere else and using WordPress.
In this video, I'll show you how we used a proxy script (called a worker route) in Cloudflare to enable us to host his WordPress site separately, but make it look like it was part of his main website.
This same method would be usable in similar situations, such as using Shopify, ClickFunnels, Kajabi or any other such system. If your main domain is routed to any non-WordPres...

Stop Using Thrive Suite. This Is Bad.
Nice Video here... Thank you
Great unbiased review of Fluent Support. Would be great to see a 2024 update and if they implemented your suggestions. Does it integrate with Fluent CRM now?
Thanks I've been stuck on this for like 4 days now before thinking of searching for solutions.
My customers bring the products (.mp3) and I market them. Depening on how many they bring, is the Plan they choose, so when they add another, it may jump them up to a new plan. What I need to know is what payment system should I use for this, and how can I offer upgrades?
Question: My site involves songwriters uploading original songs that I market to the music industry. That means my members provide the product (.mp3's) I am marketing. So I am stuck about what to use? I DO believe I want to use Wpfusion, and Fluent CRM, but from there... but my plans upgrade based on number of songs my customers want to promote... so I will need to be able to switch their plans, as they add...
How do you pass data into fluent snippet shortcode? With wpcode, you do something like [wpcode id="1234" type="Daily"]. I'm passing Daily/Weekly into type as the argument.
Hi! Tell me which plugin can be used to do the following: 1- unregistered users can buy e-books. 2- registered users can download books from one category (they see the download button and there is no add to cart button) and have 10% off all books. 3- those who bought the "start" tariff can download all books and have a 15% discount on coffee mugs.... I have been looking for a plugin for 3 months and cannot find one, but I do not have the opportunity to spend $120 on a plugin yet...
I love the idea of having my blog and my membership site in the same domain. It is a patreon kind of membership where people pay a monthly fee to access a growing library of art tutorial videos. In your experience, is this approach advisable if the membership is expected to reach over 1,000 active members?
Underrated video. Great! Thanks for sharing.
I found a better plugin that gives more features like setting the options to no etc without having database interaction. its "AAA Option Optimizer" and it's free
yes this is my experience with him as well. However people love the plugin and I am working with it now. On a slightly off topic - I switched from Kadence to Bricks last year and it's one of the best decisions I've made. so much better - and the query loop feature is powerful and easy to use.
What are your thoughts about using Paymattics since you already use FluentCRM and Fluent Forms? Since you have WP Fusion, looks like almost all of your needs are met? I'm still trying to figure out my payment plugin.
Great info! Thanks for tip! 🙏
Their new admin layout also is ridiculous. they go from user friendly to not user friendly. i wonder which nerd is their CEO. seems like user easiness is not in their mind at all.
You were right about Rapyd cloud....!!! I changed my website over to them and the speed buddyboss goes at now is incredible. I took one of the startup plans. Really happy.
Please create a dedicated tutorial on optimizing a WooCommerce site database. It should cover not just installing a plugin, but also complete advanced database optimization, proper caching installation, and more. Thanks!
what do you recommend for online classes like apprenticeship and also, don't like what they have done and are doing. What is Shane doing now? Any idea? And thanks for the information.
mine renewed at 229 but I get all the suits with the academy etc.
Great tips! I just set up fluent crm with smtp and forms on a new site, so ill definitely check those settings
Nice tutorial! However, with an LMS, creating, managing, delivering educational content, and selling it is very easy. I discovered Academy LMS and its features and functionality are excellent. It's also more affordable than any plugin in the market. Anyone, including those without prior tech knowledge, can easily use it-just like I did.
You just save my bacon....I was about to dump Fluent .......its now working aces, I don't know why they don't tell us about this fix
Ended up being able to do what I needed to do with Kadence Advanced Query Loop. It isn't as flexible as Grid Builder, but in the end, I was able to do it without too much trouble. And that's what I expected. Grid Builder is now uninstalled. One less plugin, I guess. 🤷♂
Thanks David for making this video. The support is what we are mainly paying for, and I think some WP plugin developers don't want to see it that way. This is good to know in case I want to find a plugin to do a similar thing.
Use Filebird
Not the same functionality at all.
that why I stop develop due WordPress GPLv3 you got broke. but downside is there is no develop support for customer even though some Market provided a GPLv3. So, transfer another platform you can't win against legal Battle So read and terms and conditions, so you don't regret. I developed focus on Laravel due MIT license
Just subscribed
That was amazing! Major results Thanks
Precise and helpful. Thanks for making the video, David.
Great series - building a membership site, “Community site for our Social Enterprise” very helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial - turns out, my options table is 14mb big on my simple tiny blog. Trying to figure out why the heck astra has so many large files, and whether it's linked to anything so I can delete them.
may want to take down the video you did recommending them because I almost made the mistake. Im glad I did a bit more looking around.
Good point. Don't think I'll take it down, but I think linking to this update makes sense.
@@BlogMarketingAcademy Maybe adding a banner that says UPDATE , then whatever you want to say. I did think about it after replying and thought you may want to leave the review for those that will still want Thrive as it is informative, but also tell them what they don't know on THAT video somehow that is obvious.
Thanks for the valuable information. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
looking forward to the next video!
Coming soon!
Can folders be shared between users? I need to view folders under another user's login to assist with a project.
I would think that depends on the plugin.
Replace AffiliateWP with SirenAffiliates (created by a former AffiliateWP developer)
This just happened to me! I had AffiliateWP on another site for a couple of years and just installed it on a new site - rushed through and didn't pay attention and WHOA! All the plugins! 😞
super valuable information in 2024 and beyond! Thank you to the algorithm for bringing me here! New Sub.
Welcome aboard!
great video. thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thoughts on BuddyPress?
Meh. Some work to use. In the end, BuddyBoss is a lot better, despite the payload associated with it.
Very Very Helpful! underrated video
Appreciate it.
Currently KnownHost is DOWN with: 503 - Service Unavailable - The server is temporarily busy, try again later! Access restored after 5 minutes after I opened a support ticket.
I really appreciate your channel. This series is really helpful.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for your presentation. Good idea, and I look forward to coming videos.
More on the way
Instead of using drop box, can we use google drive to store the back up or is that not secure enough?
Google Drive isn't much better. In the end, if you want self-reliance in this regard, you'd need to go with something like a NAS where you control the data.
Thank you for explaining this. Very helpful for someone who is new to Wordpress to make a choice on membership sites.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your video!
My pleasure!
You're spitting gold in this video
Where can i go to set up a re-direct using rank math? and i run Yoast SEO, will it effect the website running two seo plugins?
No need for two. If you're in with Yoast, just use that. It handles redirects, too, if I recall.
If you switch to a different theme, does that restore your editing access? From what I understand, Thrive Themes essentially locks editing once your license expires, which means you'll need to either renew your license or switch to an alternative theme. When I switched to a different theme, I didn't have any issues accessing my content. However, be aware that all the formatting and special features provided by Thrive will be lost, and you'll likely need to invest a significant amount of time to make your site look good again.
Yeah, that's the point. Obviously, you can access the content if you switch themes. But, then you'd have to basically reformat all of it. Thrive just ceases to work.
You should take a look at the WooCommerce setup wizard as well. They also use opt-out (by default enabled checkmarks in the fine print) for tracking (breaking the WP plugin guidelines and GDPR) and push all kinds of extra plugins. This is under investigation now since I reported it over a month ago, but it hasn't been fixed yet. Other plugins would probably already have been taken offline.
Reminds me of the kind of garbage Elementor has been pulling. Don't they understand how much this damages their brand image? WTH?!?
Awesome Motive is a lot worse than Elementor.
@@BlogMarketingAcademy Perhaps. Elementor sucks eggs though.
