Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

No worries.. just wanted to make sure I re-reiterated that it was an untested theory..

Thanks DivaVocals! I think I mentioned in my post that it wasn't tested out so that's one reason I left a detailed message. Let us know how it goes! Most things I mentioned were minor ######## like "readme" files or a stupid dashes in files. So easily can be missed for the overall picture like you analyzed. Thanks so much for looking into it!

So here's the results of my Day 2 testing..

Recap:
This is a vanilla install of Zen Cart v 1.3.8a with WOZ v 1.301. (http://zen138blog2.overthehillweb.com/)

Results with the WOZ sidebox positioned on the left side:

• ANY blog posts dated AFTER the initial blog posts will throw the "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria." error.
• New posts will appear in the "Recent Posts" lists, but do not appear on the main blog pages, or the category and archive listings.

Results with the WOZ sidebox positioned on the right side:
Oddly if I move the WOZ sidebox to the right side, then these issues no longer occurred.

Conclusion:
Clearly WOZ behaves differently (correctly) depending on WHERE you position the sidebox. I've tested some theories having to do with the position of the sidebar in the WordPress template, but that netted no different result whatsoever. I’ve NO explanation for this bizarre behavior..

New WOZ test store following these instructions.

Tested..sideboxes tried both right and left sides...no problems
encountered...

The only time had problems with woz was when installing WordPress into
different directory to zencart, so since then
always use following method...

Install zencart first, with own seperate database...TEST...
then install
Wordpress into same root/directory as zencart, uploading all WP files.

Temporarily RENAME ZENCART INDEX.PHP file FIRST
or it will be overwritten by wordpress index.php file.

WordPress has seperate database to zencart...
Get wordpress working on its own, testing admin functions/posting functions...

Rename WordPress index.php file and reinstate zencart index.php

Then add WOZ 1.301...following Hira's instructions..

Suggestion.. always have ZenCart using Classic Template when installing
wordpress/woz ...

Only added one post because regardless of how many posts I add, the result I've gotten in the past is the same.

• ANY blog posts dated AFTER the initial blog posts will throw the “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” error.
• Oddly, if I move the WOZ sidebox to the right side, then this issue no longer occurred.

I'll add posts tomorrow morning to see if these same results bear out or if I get a different result.

One additional test.

Results with NO WOZ sideboxes at all:
None of the issues no occurred
