Many thanks Merav for the article. I have a question. Is this plugin change your Joomla admin panel into a WordPress admin panel or it offers a WordPress blog integration on a Joomla website? I am little bit confused as I never use this plugin.

WP4J is a totally great product. I have so far only installed it for one site (my own), and love it and will be buying more of them. It is truly the “best of both worlds”.

We use WP4J on a number of sites, and overall it is a great product. What works out well for us is that we can design real estate web sites for clients and not have to hard code categories and sub categories. In combination with using the included WP categories module as a menu throughout the site means we don’t have to hard code menus either. Very nice!

With that being said, we still had to make changes to the PHP to make things work seamlessly with our sites. In particular we changed some of the CSS class references to match Joomla’s output so instead of writing custom CSS for each WP instance we could drop a modified version of WP4J in any of our template styles and have it work out of the box.

Overall it’s a great component and is a “must have” for almost every Joomla site.

YOu might try Apture.com to add links to your ocntent. It works with Joomla, but I have not tried with WP4J. You can add content from the default Apture search locations, but can also add (as I have) a search of my own site(s) content. Makes adding all kinds of content easy and quick.

Thank you for the great review Merav!
2. The Joomla menu on top of the dashboard may be a good idea, I will give it some thought as it would have to be presented in a different way than what it display on the Joomla admin currently.
3. I have added this to our to-do list.
4. This is also on our to-do.

Thank you for supporting the extension, I am glad to see you started using it on your website!
