Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[loosefast]

I think the empty folder is meant to show that the file that was in this folder in previous versions of WOZ is no longer needed. Only of interest if your upgrading WOZ.

If the Wordpress dashboard takes you to your Zen Cart store index page when you click "View Site", you have the right setting for Blog URL...

Following up on my post above, I found that the "trailing slash" is set on the Blog URI in the database table 'options' after I looked at the database. It appears that wordpress just doesn't display the trailing slash on the wordpress admin settings page, kind of odd to me, but apparently not the root of my problem.

I will set up a new clean ZC 1.3.8a and install this module first and see if I can get it running. This current rollup has a few mods but they are all playing nicely together, except for my problem with WOZ 1.5.

I am still a bit unsure of why there is an empty folder 'extra_configures' in the module's files. It is includes/extra_configures and there is just an empty extra_configures folder, no file(s) in it? I have downloaded the mod from Zen Cart add-ons and also from Hira's web site and they both have this empty extra_configures directory.

I also saw the reference to 1.5.1 in a post above. Is there an upgrade somewhere for 1.5.1? I can only find 1.5 in the Zen Cart add-ons and at Hira's site.

Thanks for your support.

I set up a fresh install of ZC 138a and installed WOZ 1.5 and everything is running fine.

I must have had some issue with a file overwrite from another module. I will be careful as I add the other modules I want in this rollup.

Nice work Hira! This is a nice upgrade from the previous version.

Thanks for the help.

HI, I set up a fresh install of ZC 138a and installed WOZ 1.5 . It's running fine.

But I use Ultimate SEO URLs in zen cart 1.38a.I set the Wordpress Blog address (URL) into http://www.mysite.com, and the WordPress address (URL) is http://www.mysite.com/blog.

I set the wordpress's Permalink into /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/, But now it can't work anymore, It appears 404 no found in the wordpress.

How do I set the wordpress's Permalink or How do I write the .htaccess to fix this problem?

It's likely you'll need to set the Ultimate SEO URL rewrite rules to ignore direct client requests for the /blog folder by using an additional RewriteCond.

Documented and confirmed that WOZ has never played well with other SEO mods (Simple SEO compatibility issues have been confirmed and there are likely the same compatibility issues with Ultimate SEO as well).. I'm fairly certain that this is still an issue in the latest version of WOZ as well.. The ONLY SEO mod WOZ seems to work with is Ceon URI (and that is only because Hira wrote a specific hack in the latest version of WOZ for this particular SEO mod)

If you NEED an embedded blog that works with Ultimate or Simple SEO, then you might want to check out the Numinix blog embedding solution/mod (search this thread for Numinix). This blog embedding solution does not interfere with SEO mods because it was written a lot differently than WOZ.. If you don't need an embedded blog solution and still want to tie your (separate) blog to your store, try using the WOZ Sideboxes Only mod..

ok I found the issue, I am using Simple SEO. Its changing the name of the file to an seo type domain.

I will search around to see if anyone else has had this issue

in reference to numinix's solution, am I correct in saying that I would have to load the woz files then follow his steps.. Also, in using his metheod, I noticed a comment about it interfering with the look of my site, is this true, and can it easily be fixed. I dont want to mess with the look of my site. I would really just want to disable ssu for the blog itself...

Anything to note

No.. this is incorrect.. Please go to Numinix's site and read through the full blog post (and comments) they contain the instructions on his embedding solution. This is a DIFFERENT blog embedding solution from WOZ.. It is a blog embedding solution to be used INSTEAD of WOZ.. I suggested this blog embedding solution INSTEAD OF WOZ since I know that the compatibility issues between WOZ and SSU have ALWAYS been an issue which are not resolved in ANY version of WOZ (1.3, 1.4, and 1.5). The Numinix blog embedding solution does not interfere with SEO mods because it was written a lot differently than WOZ.. If you don't need an embedded blog solution and still want to tie your (separate) blog to your store, try using the WOZ Sideboxes Only mod.. All of these solutions REQUIRE that you UNINSTALL WOZ before installing them..

Don't know what comment you are referring to. It's a blog embedding solution.. Just like WOZ is intended to do, the Numnix solution embeds the blog into your store. The BIG difference is that unlike WOZ there are no compatibility issues with either Ceon URI or Simple SEO. (Both work fine.. PLEASE read the blog post AND THE COMMENTS for specifics on both SEO solutions). If you've searched through this thread and read previous posts on the Numnix solution, you will see my posts which include links to a test store with this solution working..

ok, I will give it a shot.. just to be clear, i should load the woz files from the addons section then load numinix's files and follow the directions. I already have woz loaded, will this edit the existing files, and enable to work with ssu
