Like so many others on the web, I've been trying to get a blog and a portfolio to play nicely together within the same website. Here is what I would like the urls to look like and some things that I have tried.
Desired Permalink Structure:
reggi.com/portfolio
reggi.com/portfolio/$post_year/$post_title
reggi.com/portfolio/category/$category
reggi.com/portfolio/tag/$tag
reggi.com/blog
reggi.com/blog/$post_id/$post_title
reggi.com/blog/category/$category
reggi.com/blog/tag/$tag
Here are some things i've tried:
- Two wordpress installs
Cons: Very large (doup of wp core files), multiple logins, separate themes
- Two wordpress installs using symbolic links on wp core files (to minimize size)
Cons: multiple logins, separate themes
- Wordpress multisite
Cons: force root, can't use blog
,
- One wordpress with
/%category%/
in permalink
Cons: slow, categories & tags leave out blog
& portfolio
in permalink (ex reggi.com/cat/$category
)
Question:
Is there something that i've missed is there any other way to have two blogs on one site?
rewrite
on this site.site.com/%category%
, and the category and tag pages are missing their respectiveportfolio
&blog
directories ex.site.com/cat/$category
instead ofsite.com/blog/cat/$category
