Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

It would be my inclination to use the default permalinks for wordpress, and troubleshoot from there...

It would be my inclination to use the default permalinks for wordpress, and troubleshoot from there...

I just set it back the permalinks to default as you suggested. The strange thing is now it does not give me an error page when I click on a link. It just sends me to the home page like it was doing before?

I'm working on a site that's kind of a blog with a shop attached, rather than the other way around. The site owner wants the index page to be the blog itself, and the shop secondary.

Right now I have Zen Cart installed in the main directory and Wordpress installed in /blog. Everything's working fine, but I can't figure out a good way of making the blog the main page. A 301 redirect on index.php makes every page on the site redirect in an infinite loop. Is there a file that's a template for the blog, that I could just copy to the index?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

I don't understand your response here..

If the GOAL is to fix WOZ so that it works correctly and does not interfere with other mods (hate to say it -- much as the Numinix embedding solution ALREADY does) and ONE of the modules where there are compatibility issues is Conor's module, why not send him (Conor) the modified files you have (v 1.5.1) so that the ORGINAL AUTHOR of Ceon URI and Advanced Shipper can take a look and see how to improve WOZ so that it works correctly and no longer has conflicts with these two modules..

Mmm.
I am an intention sending if ready.

FYI, turns out there's a MINOR change required to fix this.. I'll test and confirm this weekend, but I'm fairly certain I have the answer to this.. Though I still maintain that shortened or friendly URLS for the feeds is not even close to a NEED TO HAVE or a showstopper, I am glad you pointed this out. I now have two solutions to resolve this.. (One which creates shortened or friendly feed URLs when permalinks are turned on and another solution which uses the default feed URLs when permalinks are turned on..)

Thank you.
Please try the hack of the other day by all means.

Is the version of WOZ using latest(v1.5)?

[loosefast]

Have you tried WOZ? It places your blog on the home page. Depending on your requirements, have you looked at WordPress shop plugins?

Depends on what the owner means by " kind of a blog with a shop attached"

• Is it important for the blog content to be incorporated (embeded) into the store? OR could the blog be styled like but have a separate URL than the store/site?
  ie:
  http://www.mysite.com (store/site)
  http://www.mysite.com/blog (Blog)
• Are you interested in Zen Cart as the e-commerce solution because you've compared it to the WP e-commerce plugins?

There are a TON of options to achieve what you want, and it depends on what you want as an outcome. For example you can do any of the following:

• ZenCart as your main site/store with a seperate blog linked to your site via WordPress content sideboxes (Zen Cart sideboxes which pull in WordPress post content/links)
• ZenCart as your main site/store with WordPress content integrated (embedded).
• WordPress as you main site with one of the WordPress e-commerce plugins for your store. (there are pretty decent ones)

You can even use the WordPress Loop codex code on the Zen Cart main define page to bring in page or post content on the front page of your Zen Cart site/store (I've used a simple example of this here:
http:// clients . overthehillweb . com /testsite
For this example, here's the post which details what I did to display WP posts on the main page:

Don't need this hack at all.. Remember the test site in question uses the Numinix blog embedding solution.. Turns out it was a very simple mode (hack) required.. Will test this weekend..

Isn't that what Conor is trying to help YOU do???? (BTW he is VOLUNTEERING to help..)
