The question came up recently about how to install WordPress in a sub-directory so they could use OptimizePress for some landing pages. (OptimizePress is a theme specifically for creating product or event landing pages, squeeze pages, opt-in pages, sales pages, etc. Because it is a theme, it will override your existing theme if you want to use it on an already established site. To accommodate this, you can install WordPress in a sub-directory or as a sub-domain (which are two different things, by the way.)
It’s sort of complicated to try to walk someone through this process in a Facebook group, but easy enough to show in a video. So I’ve created this video demonstrating the process.
Also, I’m rather new to the screen-casting video world, and would appreciate your feedback on this video. Feel free to leave your comments below.
Enjoy!

Hey Terri! I’m sure the video instruction part is great since you know your stuff and I like that I had the option to watch in HD. However, I didn’t watch it all the way through as I found that as soon as I started it I had to turn my sound way up to hear you. Might want to check your audio settings for your next recording. I about jumped out of my chair when my email chimed!
Thanks, Paula.
Paula – I fixed the volume if you want to listen again. 🙂
That is much better! So happy you chose to show them how to manually install. So many ppl do those crappy one click installs! I also have typing performance anxiety so I got a laugh from that. 🙂 The other thing I would add is that you should put a link to your site in your video at the end and at the beginning of the description on your YouTube channel so people can find you. One little typo – in your list of things you were going to cover at the start of the video on Database & User the word user was spelled Usser. I thought you did a great job explaining everything though and think it will be easy for others to follow. Nice work!
Thanks! Like I said, I’m newish at this, so I’m still developing my checklist (add URL to screen at end, etc.) Thanks for the pointers and the feedback.
It didn’t look like you were new at it – I thought you did really well!
Doing the install I’ve done about a billion times. And fortunately, there was a great session from Carla Wilson-Wilson at IVAA Summit about Audacity, so some of the tips she gave me helped me identify where to edit and how to adjust the audio. 🙂
Love Audacity – that program rocks. So cool that you were able to immediately implement stuff you learned at the Summit. I’ve already committed to being there next year – I was bummed to have missed everyone again this year so I need to get back on track with attending.
Oh and Carla rocks too! How did I forget that part!
