Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[rlfreshwater]

I''m using version 2.3.2. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

No, I'm sorry ... I don't. I'm not technical at all. If you haven't already, it wouldn't hurt to call BlueHost and ask if they can help. They were a tremendous help to me this morning installing some affiliate software.

Sounds really strange, though, that everything else seems to be working correctly for you.

Which version of Word Press are you using? I see you're using BlueHost and I was told by them this morning that people using WP 2.5 need to upgrade to 2.5.1 because there are too many problems on their platform with 2.5.

Is anybody out there using 2.5.1 successfully with the WOZ module?

I guess I'll take one for the team and try it later today ....

I'm using WP 2.5.1 and ZC 1.3.8 and it's working fine. I've not used the achieves function. Hence, can't tell you if it works properly. I've used WP 2.5 and it works too.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/queerrep/public_html/includes/templates/qr/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/queerrep/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 689

I believe this problem might be caused by having ZC and WP installed in 2 different directories. From what I've read in the forum, it's best to install both ZC and WP in the same directory. Everything will be in the same place. Do not install WP index.php when you install everything in the same location. ZC has it's own index.php which you will be using.

Next, if everything is already installed in the same folder, then check WP Blog URL. Check if you have typed in "www" or without "www". Example: http://mysite.com/blog or http://www.mysite.com/blog.
If you used http://mysite.com/blog, then your ZC's WP address will be: http://mysite.com/blog/index.php?main_page=wordpress
If you used http://www.mysite.com/blog, then your ZC's WP address will be: http://www.mysite.com/blog/index.php...page=wordpress

Hope my explanation is not too complicated for you. Took me like 3 days to figure things out.

Good luck...

Well, I just upgraded to 2.5.1 Wordpress and that didn't fix the issue for me. This is a very weird problem.

rlfresh, I also just spoke to Bluehost, they're telling me they can't help me, lol. I am literally out of ideas.

I set up a different file for example

http://www.oxylifeco.com/store/main.php?cat=29

Like that, it does display posts per category, what's happening in this madness? some conflict I'm not seing?

Thanks, Svault. I did have them in the same directory and I agree with you that it's the way to go. It worked for me last time with my old host (ipower) and it worked for me again this time with my new one (bluehost).

To fix the problem that I was having yesterday, I reinstalled both Wordpress (v2.5.1) and the WOZ module and now it's working fine.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe I just lucked up when I called.

I went back to the link you gave first: http://www.oxylifeco.com/store/?cat=29 and notice that it gives the same error message that I was getting.

The link that you gave in your last post: http://www.oxylifeco.com/store/main.php?cat=29 ... no clue why they show up there correctly.

You mentioned you upgraded to 2.5.1 ... did you do an "upgrade" or did you completely reinstall it? If the former, then maybe you should reinstall both WP and WOZ? That's what I had to do and now it's working fine.

Regarding upgrading Wordpress to the latest version for your Wordpress on Zencart:

Your theme has a header.php page that is basically an include for the blog header. You will see the header.php file in all the themes (i.e. default, classic etc.).

I edit that file to remove the DOCTYPE, meta, title tags (first 8 lines in WP 2.5.1) as these tags get placed in the middle of your Zen Cart page where they do not belong and your Zen Cart page already has these in the right place.

I have found that leaving them in does not appear to break the page but removing them does not break Wordpress either.

I've got things more or less working on a local server with zc 1.3.8a and wp 2.5 both together in the same directory, although they use different databases. On my main page, I have a single current post showing up the way I want to, and my sidebox links by category and by month/year properly navigate to the right pages. If I manually direct the browser to http://[URL="http://www.example.com/"]www.example.com/[/URL]?, I am able to navigate to the right page.

Unfortunately I still have this small hiccup I haven't figured out how to fix yet! The title of the wp_cats sidebox is a link directed to the wrong place. The wp_archives sidebox title is not a link, so the problem I'm encountering is only with the wp_cats title. When I try to get to my blog by clicking on the wp_cat sidebox title link, I get a 404 error because the link is navigating to
http://www.example.com/index.php?main_page=1&zenid=xxxx
where xxx is the actual zenid number. How do I make this sidebox title link to go to the right place?

PS I tried setting up a permalink, but I obviously haven't got the .htaccess coded right yet or something, so I backed out the permalinks to debug this problem first.

Thanks in advance, Karen

OK, I sorted out what was wrong here... In case anyone else makes the same mistake, here's what you need to know:
1) It doesn't matter which of the sideboxes you choose to use, but if you want the title to be a link, you need to make sure the appropriate file in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/*.php has the variable $title_link set properly.
2) Therein lies my mistake. I just assumed that since I didn't want the value to be "false", then I must've wanted it to be "true". The logical value of True was correctly being passed into the link as the link parameter "index.php?main_page=1" instead of "index.php?main_page=wordpress" as it should've been. My wp_sidebar.php had it correct, but since I had that sidebox disabled, it took awhile to trackdown that I had used the wrong value when I changed my sidebox $title_link!!

Now with that corrected, I'll see if I can get permalinks working with Hira's SEO instructions. It does seem like a bit of a disconnect, though -- all the recommendations here say to install the ZC and WP code into the same directory in order to avoid unspecified probable issues, but Hira's instructions indicate that they should be in different directories for the SEO instructions. I'm hoping that is just a detail based on his experimentation, though, and off I go to try to get it working with them both installed in the root directory!

Hope this helps someone following in my (wrong) footsteps!

Can someone tell me where to look in the db for wordpress links.
I was using woz until I found that it was breaking a few other things and just didn't want to deal with it. Anyways, I would like to build a sidebox that works with wp being in a separate dir. Looking in the db I can't find category names or the count of how many posts there are for each.

The sideboxes that are intended to work with woz haven't been much help as a guide.

Thanks in advance,
John

PS Just leaving the sidebox and language files up kinda works but it breaks Live Product Feed and Google Base Feed.
