Examples of your WordPress site.

Are any of you using WP more as a CMS than a blog and if so can you share a link here, so I can take a little look.

I know little about WP, but if it suites my plans, what with the bridge to xF, all I’ll then need is a decent calendar, which I know a couple of people are working on.

Or is there a decent calendar available for WP?

Thanks in advance.

G'Day Dr,
We use Wordpress Posts to power our blog and Wordpress Pages to power CMS style content. Some examples, Gold, Competition Portal, About and Entry Form.

Thanks Bram, it's been evolving for some time... still need to get the header image sorted, I'll never be happy!

Oh, that's lovely.

I can't see a search function, is there one with WP?

*goes back for a further look around*

We all know that feeling of never being happy I fear

We use a Google AJAX search plugin which is on the front page, bottom middle.

It's all widgetised though, you can move whatever wherever. If it were in the sidebar then it'd be on every page, like it is on the top right of this cricket site (but he's not using the AJAX search)

Here is Wordpress site used for a complete website for an organization. It has a CMS flow: http://www.dirtcarump.com/

I use Wordpress (plus a couple of hacks, can recommend you some if you like) as CMS rather than blogging software all the time; much prefer it over Drupal/Joomla and it tends to work just fine as CMS.

Using professional themes with WP:

All sites use WP as a CMS and the blog as news section.

Yes of course, WP has a search function but there are several plugins to enhance this.

That's pretty cool Moses, well except the horrid Aussie colours, you should have gone with black and silver

Thanks for the replies, I can see that I am going have to get WP installed on my server and have a play.

Here's mine: http://www.secretcitydesigns.com I was also able to make my XF match it in colors. Forum tab is at the top of the page.

Interesting, good to see it's easy to match colours & styles. Have you bridged it to xF for common login yet?

BTW - When I click on the 'continue reading' link on your 'The Forum Is Open' article on the home page I am getting a not found error page.

Right I've installed WP in a test directory, now don't laugh, but this is a major thing for me* despite the fact that it only took a few minutes!

* I am new to running a website, only started last year and I don't normally do anything on the sever side of thing, I get the tech guy from a big [vB] board to do that sort of thing for me.

Right, off for a play.

I tried the bridge, not sure if it worked tho.
Thanks for the heads up on the post MIA, been having issues with that.

 

[DoctorWatsOn]

I've got a bit of a learning curve here, but first play makes it seem a lot easier than vB's CMS.

Test site.

any xF WP sites working with the WP Bridge ?
