Uploading my own content to WordPress (PHP, javascript, three.js, html..)

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am absolutely new to wordpress. I have coded a braintraining javascript “library”, which is displayed through a canvas. I still need to design the rest of the website though. I am considering using WP for that purpose, however, I am not sure if that is the best option. I would need it to support certain functionalities, and to let me change and modify them easily. More specifically:

    -I would need to be able to créate canvas elements, and to display my js functionalities through them. Besides my own javascript code, I am also using three.js, which should also be supported by WP. So, is doing this possible with WP?, How? (I am absolutely new, I would really appreciate if you could share some tutorials or explain to me how this should be done)

    -The database is in constant communication with the client, sending and retrieving data. I need to perform AJAX calls, (Basically, each time a user answers an ítem, new information is sent/created in the DB). If possible, how could I achieve it with wordpress?

    -I also need some parts of the website to be responsive and dynamic. For instance, I need some charts and data (user statistics) to be unique for each user and to update with each game. The site is educational, so there are also especial users, “teachers”, who will have access to all the stats from their pupils in data tables. How could I do it?

    -I would also need to use session variables (with information retrieved from the DB)

    All these functionalities are already coded in a local host of mine. What I would like to do is to create the rest of the site with WP (or any other solid CM), in order to save time, and then upload these localost files or functionalities/code to the said site created in WP.

    In reality, it would be more comfortable for me not to use any CM, and to just upload all my files without having to learn and struggle with any CMs, so any other idea on how to build the rest of the page myself in a quick way would be appreciated (Ie: if it was possible to use a CM and then just copy the CSS and html code to local host files).

    However, I think that, despite of the struggle that solving the aforementioned 3 points can be, WP can be of great help due to the ease to add plugins and because of its optimization for SEO. If not using WP and finally creating everything on my own somehow, would it still be possible to add the same plugins as in WP? Specifically, the SEO ones, and, would creating my own site be worse for SEO?, Note that I am new to programming and to the world of hosting.

    Last but not least, If not using WP, could I still manage to install plug ins, or whatever needed, to set the payment system and options (this part is actually really important !)?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Hi there,

    WordPress.com is a platform that allows you to create a site without the need for coding so, it’s not likely what you’re looking for.

    To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

    We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

    You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

    If you have more questions about WordPress.org, you’ll want to ceck out their support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
