Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[aeolidia]

I've been searching all over and can't find an answer to this. I've installed Wordpress on Zen, and none of the category/archive/post/comment links work.

What's happening is they look like this:
index.php?main_page=wordpress/?cat=11

When the working URLs should look like this:
index.php?main_page=wordpress&cat=11

What can I do to get these links working correctly? Is there a way to replace the /? with &?

I'm using the default permalinks, and I've tried this both in a separate directory and right in the main directory with Zen Cart.

I was able to install this successfully (major shock since I can *NEVER* get things to work for me), but now I have a cosmetic question.

http://www.queerrepublictees.com/ind...page=wordpress

How can I get rid of the current sidebox on the right-hand side and put the breadcrumbs (or whatever you call the navigation section starting with 'pages' and ending with 'WP') in its place – but ONLY on this page. I know I can use layout boxes to display the sideboxes that were packaged with WP, but this makes it display on every page.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

**UPDATE:**

I spoke too soon ... I found out I didn't do something right and had to start over from square 1. Maybe it will help others to know that installing WP in a separate directory did not work for me (as Aeolidia said none of the links would work), but installing it in the same directory as ZC did.

My next issue was having the WP sidebox show only on my blog page. The way I did this was to turn the WP sidebar on in Tools > Layout Box Controller and then add the code #wpsidebar {display:none} at the top of the main CSS file (not the CSS for WP).

Hopefully this info will help somebody .....

Did you upload it in its own directory within the zencart directory? Or ar all the WP files scattered amidst the zencart ones?

Yup, they are scattered amidst the other files. LOL. Of course most of those are contained within the 'wp-amin', 'wp-content', and 'wp-includes' folders so it's not like they are scattered all over the place.

Might seem like a silly question but I really need to know. If I install this mod, am I able to disable it so no one can view it online while it is in the works? I have this mod on my things to do list but I am just not sure if I should already have some articles ready first before doing so. I don't want to have a blank blog that anyone can access.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the info. May I recap my file info to make certain I understand you correctly.

I use an FTP program to access my files.
I open up the public_html file where the INCLUDES and IMAGES of my Zen-Cart are located and I have my WordPress folder named NEWSLETTER.

Is this the right place or should the folder be within the INCLUDES folder in order to work?

I'm trying to add a blog (from my wordpress mod) to my home page. I tried using this code from S-page.net:

<fieldset>
<legend>Latest Post</legend>
<?php
$posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=5‘);
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php /*the_content();*/ ?>
<br />
<?php endforeach; ?>
</fieldset>

But I always get this parse error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /home/content/b/a/s/basherbeatz/html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php on line 5

Has anyone been able to achieve this? If so would you care to share how you did it.

Thanks!!

Love the mod. :) Had it for a while now.

Question: (and yes it's a stupid one)

I am trying to move the links and header title in the blog side box 1em to the right. I know this is a style sheet thing, I am just befuddled as to what to change. The WOZ style sheet was copied and pasted to the bottom of the main style sheet tonight. *shrug* Although I couldn't get it to change when it was its own file either.

Here is a link:

Many thanks in advance, and I told you it was a stupid question.
