WooCommerce Experts...Second installation?

by Kurt

Any WooCommerce experts here? If you had a WP blog on a site for content and wanted to add WooCommerce, would you use the same WP installation or create a second WP installation specifically for WooCommerce?

    Hi Kurt, it all depends on how you want your store to perform. It you want to run the store separately on a subdomain as the shop and the main site as your blogging website.
    Has performance benefits too.

      I'm leaning towards two different installs. This lets me have different plugins and themes on each and I'm not sure I want to run ads on the shop instance.

      On the other hand, two installs means logging into and managing two separate WP admins.

        You can do it all with the one install if you want, here's a video showing you how to do it:

    WooCommerce is built on WordPress, so it is a natural blogging platform right out of the box.

    Here i give you suggestion for your issue. You can simply follow this steps below.

    Step 1-Open your WordPress Dashboard
    Step 2-Click Posts > Add New
    Step 3-You will now see the New Post page
    Step 4-Set your title, tags, and/or category as necessary, and start writing!

    Hi Kurt,


    Yes, completely doable.



    Not a WooCommerce expert, but we install WP and WooCommerce a lot. We use one WP install for the main website and a second WP install for the WooCommerce theme store. I prefer it that way for backup and security reasons. Also, similar plug-ins will not conflict since the installs are in separate databases.


    Also, we have to login to each install of WP. Both WP installs use the same Admin Username and password and there are no conflicts since the installs are in separate databases. Lots of configuration possibilities for each database!


    Here is a very good YouTube video without all of the technical mumbo:
