  We want to use hosted wordpress for our website but we’re unsure our configuration is possible. We need to give the blog the url http://ourdomain.com/blog/ so the idea is to proxy the hosted version with nginx on our machines. that’s tecnically possible if we host it by ourselves , but when I try to add the /blog url to the domain here it says: ‘Subdirectories are not allowed’ … is there a way to do that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I believe l http://ourdomain.com/blog/ is not possible here but l http://blog.ourdomain.com/ IS possible.

  In theory with a lot of work you could do it with a transformation proxy on your domain. Maybe a moderate amount, as you would only have to translate requests and responses referencing subdirhostedwp.wordpress.com.

  If it is acceptable going with a subdomain is much easier
