When I cut and pasted the code from misty's site a couple of characters were not correct which caused the same issue you are having

define_main_page.php - Make sure the quotes are correct in your file. They weren't in mine which caused the url link to be incorrect.

I have my blog integrated and displaying on the main page. However my blog posts have some strange characters in them. It is a character encoding issue. Wordpress requires UTF-8 encoding. When I manually change the encoding on my browser to UTF-8 the strange characters disappear. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Disregard. I figured it out. You have to set WordPress to ISO-8859-1.

First off, I am trying to download this from the link on the first page.. I get this:

Error establishing a database connection




Secondly, can someone answer a question for me?

I want to have just 2-3 latest topics of the blog at the bottom of the stores landing page. I do not want any of the blog sideboxes to appear until after a user has clicked through to read more. Can this be done?

Thanks!

Post 171 in this thread gives new url to download Word Press Mod..
WPress Side boxes..can be set so only show to members..
2/3 latest blog topics can be shown on main page of zencart i.e.
http://www.dezinashop.com/demo/

Ok, thanks misty!

Not sure what step I haven't followed here, but the site just isn't coming up. Did a clean install on both ZenCart and WordPress and am pretty sure I followed the directions properly, however looking at other posts everyone else seems to have installed it with no problem so I need to get some guidance- probably very simple. I'm just getting an error that there is a problem connecting to database, however the installation went swimmingly and I can enter admin panel on both ZC and WP so it's something at the front end that isn't happy. Any ideas on why there would be connection issues? The install is on www.pimpmyshow.com

Are all your configure files pointing to correct database etc, especially
in zencart file /includes/configure.php

And what is ABSPATH and how do we define it properly? I believe this is the cause of most of the errors about missing files and functions.

Did you ever get WP to work?

No, I haven't gotten this to work yet. The config file is fine, everything installed properly for both ZC and WP and I can log into the admin section on each, just can't find a front end and the error is DB related so I'm kind of baffled.
