Can I have wordpress installed in /blog/ directory. TXP for the rest.
I am research transitioning a site made up of static pages to TXP. The /blog/ directory is using Wordpress and must continue to.
Is am not a developer, but I do have a competent dev team.
Is there a way to have TXP run my site while having mysite.com/blog/ be a Wordpress install?

Yes, just install WP in a sub directory named “blog” and TXP in the root directory at mysite.com, they co-exist nicely that way. You may want to exercise care not to name a logical TXP section to the name “blog”.

So basically install txp at the root and wordpress in a directory /blog. And as you mentioned, do not create a section in txp called blog :)

Can I have software X installed in /X/ directory. TXP for the rest.
Generic answer:
- Install whatever you want in any directory not touched by Textpattern.
- Install whatever you want in any sub-domain not touched by Textpattern.
Depends on dependencies:
- You may install something in a sub-directory tree below a section directory
- You may even try to install something in a section directory (which is not recommended but possible via direct URL calls and/or .htaccess magic)
For developers:
You can even use Textpattern as a PHP framework for another PHP software by wrapping the PHP code eg inside a TXP page template.

I have a blog in my main root folder on my web site.
My several sub-domains, most are blogs, are in folders inside that root folder.
So yes, it is possible.
edit:
Oh, they all use different mysql databases.
