Thanks for the article link.. It gives me an idea how to create sideboxes to work with the Numinix embedding solution.. (Since CLEARLY based on other posts, my WOZ Sidebox Only solution will not) If I can figure out how to make this work, I will share with the community.. (and that will end ANY need for anyone to use WOZ ever again IMO)

As for your solution, my only comment is that the link to the blog in your store needs to be omni-present. It only shows when the blog banner "happens" to come up in the banner rotation, and truthfully I could only see it more frequently when I "forced" the blog to show by going straight to the blog URL..

Also the places where you are adding blog content to your store don't seem to be any place obvious.. Did you not add this code yet?? Lastly regarding this same code, if you are planning on adding it to one of the defined pages, you might wanna give a looksee into how you can incorporate it into the Admin Editable sideboxes module.. (Sideboxes which use a defined page to control the sidebox content -- VERY handy module)

I tried WOZ 1.3 and 1.4 and could not get either to work after a week of trying.

I have now gone with the following solution:
Note: I am using Worpress 2.91 and Zen Cart 1.38a on PHP 5
My blog is housed in a separate subdirectory from my store.

1. Install the Numinix method for integrating Wordpress and Zen Cart. (It took me a while to figure out that changing the folder name for the blog is mandatory for this to work).

2. For integration of the blog, I used sidebox banners to drive traffic to it.

3. To add the blog content to my store, I followed the instructions form this page to add the article titles where I wanted them. http://www.corvidworks.com/articles/...on-other-pages

At the top of the define page:
<?php
// Include Wordpress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-load.phpNOTE THIS IS THE ABS ADDRESS OF YOUR BLOG');
query_posts('showposts=3');
?>

and then the following where I want the content to show up:

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>
<?php endwhile; ?>
