WordPress and Node.js app on the same domain

Question

I have a Node.Js app which runs fine once configured and started via cPanel . The root of the app is the '/' path, which is my domain name.

I also have a WordPress installation from where I fetch blog posts to my Node.Js app. The WordPress installation is in /public_html in cPanel .

Before I start the Node.Js app, the WordPress dashboard is accessible via domain.com/wp-installation/wp-admin . After I start my Node.Js app, the app takes over the domain and if I try to again access the WordPress dashboard, I get a 404 error.

Is there a way that I can run them both, at the same time, so that my WordPress dashboard is accessible at all times?

Answer 1

Found a way, the trick was to simply go to a specific .php file, example:

https://example.com/wp-migration/wp-admin/edit.php

This opens up the WordPress dashboard and is exactly what I need.
