Add wordpress to a subdomain

blue-army · 2015-04-15 09:13:36

Heya lads, I've created a subdomain for my website (blog.mydomain.com), however I can't work out how to install WP to the blog subdomain. Am I right in thinking that I can install a separate theme etc on the subdomain? Hosting is through GoDaddy. Thanks for your help! :)

I guess that the subdomain has its own directory in your hosting area. Upload the WordPress files to that directory.
As a subdomain it will be completely separate from the main domain.

Still consider installing your blod in domain.com/blog directory, as for google subdomain is a different domain so it won't give you any impact in search results. Of course if you even care.
