  Hi,

  I have an existing website. Its an e-commerce site.

  I want to start a blog, but i don’t want it to have a new domain name. I want to embed the blog within my site as a subdirectory, so that it looks something like: mysitename.com/blog

  I’ve googled a lot but found no solid answer on whether this is possible, and if yes, how? Could you please let me know if it is?

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

  If you have Cpanel access you should be able to create a subdirectory and place your WordPress install in that subdirectory.

  That being said, since it would be a WordPress install on your host server you will be looking at the WordPress.org version of WordPress rather than WordPress.com.

  Read more about the differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  And search the forums at WordPress.org – https://wordpress.org/support/ And ask your question there.

  Check the WordPress.org forums. That will put you in the best environment to find your answers.
