You must be an intermediate to advanced user for using this guide for Deploying WordPress as Facebook App. There are two ways to run WordPress in this way. First is to suck the full blood (lack of better alternative term)  of Heroku by uploading WordPress files plus creating database there too. This is we will show in this Deploying WordPress as Facebook App With Heroku Cloud.

Second is my modified method. That is more easy. Simply upload WordPress on Heroku and use The Rackspace Cloud’s database.

heroku create

Then add the database :

heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev

I have circled “JADE” it will be different for you. Run :

heroku pg:promote HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR

For me, the COLOR was JADE.

Just run the commands like installing WordPress in a distorted manner :

git checkout -b production

Then :

cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

Great, now :

>.gitignore

Go, only two steps :

git add .

git commit -m "Initial WordPress commit"

Last :

git push heroku production:master
