Hi Joe,
  Don't forget the built in content pages within ProductCart. It does not have all the functionality of a full-blown CMS, but should do the job in many circumstances.

Joe, it's not possible.

ProductCart is classic ASP. Word Press is PHP. So, just look at the file extensions on your web site you are working on. When you see ".asp" that can't run PHP at the same time. Then go look at WP files: they are all .php, so you can't run ASP on them.

What you can do to communicate between them is use RSS feeds and/or some other options that can read/grab content.

As for themes, if you were a CSS genius extraordinaire, then maybe you could create the style sheet that would handle both PC and WP gracefully, but that is a lofty goal.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 03:18:34 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/wordpress-in-productcart-site_topic3601_post13888.html#13888 https://forum.productcart.com/wordpress-in-productcart-site_topic3601_post13886.html#13886 Author: BlackReefDesigns

Ok, if there is way to integrate the Blog inside the actual store, that would definitely be the preferred method as oppose to redesigning a WP theme.

Yes, Greg and I are both very adept at this. Joe is looking to learn this skill himself as a designer.

Go, Joe! I know you can do it, and once you nail one you'll have an excellent new service to offer to your clients.

If you want to start with a WordPress theme, I'd recommend Suffusion. It's extremely malleable and is an excellent starting place for a theme. It will take some work to translate the styling from PC to WP, but if you've done your PC markup and styling in XHTML & CSS according to W3C standards for at least "transitional" compliancy, then it will make things easier for you; that is, you can't go using table layouts that PC is ok with on WP and expect things to lay out properly.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 02:04:24 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/wordpress-in-productcart-site_topic3601_post13884.html#13884 https://forum.productcart.com/wordpress-in-productcart-site_topic3601_post13883.html#13883 Author: Vertex

Thank you very much Sean & Matt for your timely responses.

Alright, well I will start look into redesigning the WP theme to match the look of the store. 

Thanks again,
