I am looking for a way to create a WordPress blog on a Shopify subfolder (myshopify.com/blog). I have come across common solutions that involve creating a proxy app in the Shopify partner dashboard but the process became highly technical and with less guidance it didn’t work. Please share with me how I can be able to achieve this within Shopify to avoid using a subdomain instead.
Topic summary
A user seeks to integrate a WordPress blog into their Shopify store at a subfolder path (myshopify.com/blog) rather than using a subdomain. They attempted creating a proxy app through the Shopify Partner dashboard but found the process too technical without adequate guidance.
Proposed Solutions:
- Shopify Plus users: Can utilize the built-in Reverse Proxy feature
- Regular Shopify users: Two options presented:
- Use redirects combined with iframes
- Install the Post Bridge app, which proxies a WordPress installation from a subdomain/staging site to the Shopify subfolder
The Post Bridge solution is highlighted as requiring minimal setup time (under one minute) and offers support for implementation issues. The discussion remains open with no confirmation of which approach the original poster will pursue.
Hi,
You can use Shopify plus(Reverse Proxy) or as regular shopify user can use redirect and iframe
I built Post Bridge to solve this exact problem: https://apps.shopify.com/post-bridge
You can install WordPress on a subdomain or get a staging site from your hosting provider, then use the app to proxy that blog to your Shopify store’s subfolder.
Setup takes less than a minute. Happy to help if you run into any issues.
