Add and Remove the Blog Title

Are blog titles ruining your dream layout? This feature allows you to add or remove the blog title at any time.

Add or Remove the Sidebar

Sidebar causing trouble? You have the option to add it or remove it at any time. If the sidebar is removed, the information that was on it is displayed at the bottom of your web page.

Add or Remove the Author’s Name

Go incognito! You can add or remove the author’s name from all posts.

Enable or disable Automatic Role Syncing

Enable role synching between WordPress and Joomla! to save time, or disable the feature to give users different privileges in each area.

If Automatic Role Syncing is enabled and you change a user’s access privileges in one interface, such as WordPress, the user’s privileges will automatically be updated when they log into Joomla! (and vice versa).

Built-in CSS style sheet options

If you’re working with CSS style sheets, enjoy the many options that we’ve added in for your convenience.

Customize your own WordPress Themes! Make your work easy by using an existing theme, or go nuts and customize your own from the ground up! Although many themes require a few edits to work inside of the WordPress for Joomla! package, ‘corePHP’ offers you the ability to make a custom theme that matches your website.

Easy Installation and Upgrades

Installing and updating WordPress For Joomla! is every bit as easy as installing and updating WordPress. Every time a new update comes out, just uninstall the old version of the component from the Joomla! administrator panel and install the new one. Your database, media, plug-ins and themes will be exactly the way you left them.

Improved Language Translation!

Most of the template strings are now on a Joomla! language file. Now you can rely on more accurate and complete translations than ever before!

Redirect menu items automatically

No more lost modules! If a front-end URL has no ItemID and there is a menu item for the blog, it will automatically search for the ItemID and redirect.

Use Joomla! Content Plugins on WordPress posts

Simply enable a setting to use this convenient feature!

Make your Joomla! blog into a website with static content pages

Blogging in Joomla! just got better! Like WordPress, WordPress for Joomla! lets you create static content pages. Use this feature to add a simple “About Us” or “Contact Us” page, or go to town and build complete web pages in addition to your blog.

Get connected with WordPress Links!

Allow your users to quickly and conveniently connect to relevant sites. Like WordPress, WordPress for Joomla! provides its own internal blogroll manager, allowing you to create, maintain, and update as many blogrolls as you like through the administration interface. Expand your resources dramatically by linking to websites and other blogs that relate to yours!

Increase your user base with cross-blog communication tools!

Let your users connect outside of your blog with cross-blog communication tools! Like WordPress, WordPress for Joomla! fully supports trackback and pingback standards. Trackbacks and pingbacks allow your users to connect from inside your blog to theirs, which can dramatically increase your visitors and your user base. Let your users advertise for you, and get your blog connected today!

Let your users connect with comments!

Not only can users and visitors comment on individual posts, they can also connect your blog to their own site using trackbacks and pingbacks. Comments can be enabled or disabled on a per-post basis.

Protect your blog from spam with WordPress Spam Protection!

Eliminate comment spam on your blog with an integrated blacklist and an open proxy checker. For additional protection use Akismet, the WordPress plug-in that we’ve migrated over.

Password protect your posts for extra security – or just for fun!

This feature allows you to assign passwords to individual posts. Hide posts from the public, create private posts that are viewable only by their author, or give the password to a handful of bloggers, allowing them to communicate through password-protected posts. Use this feature any way you like. Just don’t lock yourself out!

Take advantage of our XML-RPC interface!

Like WordPress, WordPress for Joomla! supports an extended version of the Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, and the MovableType API. You can even use clients designed for other platforms like Zempt.

Access your blog on the go with your iPhone!

Don’t have time to blog at the computer? WordPress for Joomla! supports the iPhone app for WordPress. Create, publish, draft, and password protect your posts through your iPhone!

Email posts directly to your blog using Post via email!

Have time for your email, but not your blog? Use the Post via Email feature to add to your blog at the drop of a hat. Simply write and send it to a predefined email address. Post complete!

Screen your content with the WordPress Workflow Feature!

This great feature lets you choose which of your users can edit content, publish articles, or just post drafts for later review and publication. Make users into Administrators, Editors, Authors, Contributors, or Subscribers.

Configure your own user roles with the Multiple Authors feature!

Create up to 10 user roles of your own! Define your own levels and configure the privileges for each level. Choose who can do what in regard to administrating, publishing, editing, altering options, contributing to your blog and so on.

Edit in the WordPress ASCII or xHTML editor!

Want to edit in code? You can do it. Want to switch back to normal speech? You can do that too! Using the Texturize engine, WordPress for Joomla! intelligently transforms ASCII into XHTML. This includes quotes, apostrophes, ellipses, em and en dashes, multiplication symbols, and ampersands.

Maximize your exposure to search engines with Ping-O-Matic!

Like WordPress, WordPress for Joomla! supports Ping-O-Matic, which pings popular services multiple times so your blog will be indexed on their site. Services you can ping include Weblogs.com, My Yahoo!, BlogRolling, Weblogalot, Google Blog Search, Technorati and many more!

Publish posts on the go with Bookmarklets!

Publish posts or add links to your blogroll while you’re on the go! Share pages or links by selecting the Bookmarklets link. When the panel pops up, add any additional information you’d like your readers to see, assign a category, and press save. Your post will be immediately added to your blog. It’s as simple as that!

WordPress for Joomla! works on Joomla! 1.5 native mode and Joomla! 1.5 legacy mode. Simply install the component as you would any other extension, and you’re set.

WordPress for Joomla! includes many of the standard WordPress features, plus some features of our own! These features are only included in the Joomla! version and are not found anywhere else!
