Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[swamyg1]

What do I need to do to change my blog URL to "mysitename.com/blog/" instead of "mysitename.com/wordpress/"

The folder where wordpress is installed is named "blog". I also have Simple SEO URL installed, but the alias does not seem to work for some reason.

It may be difficult installing these in seperate directories. Apparently it can be done with a fresh version of Zen Cart, but there is some addon that must conflict with it. If you have managed to successfully install in seperate directories and you can actually access the blog through Zen Cart, I think you would need to make your change to the file in includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php in the section with:

define ('ABSPATH','./');

Your 'ABSPATH' would probably be ../wordpress/ or something like that.

Let me know if something like that works.

the 'ABSPATH' in the sample I used is when you have wordpress installed in the same directory as Zen Cart, as per his instructions.

While I'm grateful that someone started such a cool mod, this thread seems to be full of question after question with no real answers. Most of the sites I checked in this thread seem to have totally given up on getting this to work and just installed wordpress on its own page.

I installed it and its not working at all. I followed the poor instructions step by step. I wish the few who actually got this mod to work would revisit this thread and enlighten us instead of just disappearing to conquer their next task =)

Hi Misty;

I've had no probs with this mod even with the current WP-2.7

Has anyone ever considered bundling up the WOZ package and the current version of WP as a ZC add-on?

Putting everything in the right place and making some adjustments to the default template that comes with WP to be more ZC friendly (like not calling the sidebar on almost every page) and removing wp index.php from the kit might simplify things for many folks.

Along with some clear tested instructions on what/where to edit and how to jump to the new wp install to finish up as normal.

I address this to you as you seem to be lead on this cool mod.

Just a thought.

There is already wordpress addon/mod from above.
ZenCart version 2.0 is due out very soon..WordPress
mod will then almost certainly have to be recoded.

Ya, what I mean is combine that module with the current version of WP (2.7 as I write this) so that installing the mod installs both the mod you mention AND WP itself with a few minor edits to the default WP template to make it play nicer with ZC out of the box.

Say call it, WOZ+WP...

And yes, ZC 2.0 changes much, but by the time it's out of beta it will still be some time.

On the other hand, it could just be a silly idea. I have lots of those. I leave it up to you to sort them out :)

Thanks for the reply. I was very frustrated when I wrote that post haha. I'm still getting this message "file not found site.com/blog/wp-config.php" when I go to http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall and it's still there. Is it because I am installing wordpress in its own directory /blog?

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to install wordpress manually since godaddy's hosting connection won't allow me to install wordpress into the root since zencart is already there.
