How to Set Up WordPress on a Separate Host With the Heroku App
WordPress allows you to install a blogging system that works with the Heroku app. Place your WordPress files in a separate folder on the Web host, so they do not interfere with any of the Heroku app functions. Using this process, you can keep a blog updated on your site and use Heroku without either of these apps having compatibility issues.
