Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[rainthebat]

Hello All,

I have been going crazy for hours searching the forum and can't believe no one has had this problem. I have Zen cart installed in my root directory and wordpress in /blog.

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a
And the latest version of Wordpress.

There is something in the .htaccess file preventing me from navigating to www.example.com/blog

when I rename the file I can access www.example.com/blog but this causes server errors with the Zen cart installation.

Any advice would be really helpful

A little more info will be needed. First, what is in the code in the .htaccess? And, what is the server error that you get from the Zen Cart installation?

[rainthebat]

define ('ABSPATH',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wordpress/'); 

I can see the side box of wordpress on my zencart shop but when i click on the link like about, Uncategorized... then it redirects me to index page . I cant see the wordpress posting and comments .

So please let me know where I am wrong.

Thx

This sounds like the defining of the blog location in the options of the wordpress admin. Wordpress Admin>>Settings>>General:

WordPress address (URL):
Blog address (URL):

Make sure these are set correctly. Particularly because you have the blog installed in its own directory. Sometimes it takes a little experimenting.

Actually a little more info may also be helpful. What is the link location that you are getting for the sidebox link? Hover the mouse over the link, right click>copy link location.

I think that rainbat meant it would help if you posted ACTUAL links for your site..

I have wordpress installed. I've followed the instructions for the add-on as well.

This is the error I have received.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/d/l/s/dlshostacct/html/gripp/includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/content/d/l/s/dlshostacct/html/gripp/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

It can be seen here...I'm assuming I at least got the ABSPATH location right for wordpress to show up, but I'm not sure what I need to change to not have that error and it actually show up.

If any one could help me figure it out it would greatly be appreciated.

Search this thread for kiddos fix.

I have solved the problem. I commented some line in the extra_configure/wordpress-config.php file

    /*$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
    $req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
    if($req=='?'){
        $_GET['main_page']='wordpress';
    }*/ 

and just use

$_GET['main_page']='wordpress'; 

instead of commented line.

After long exploration of files within worpress and zen cart I came into conclusion that zencart dont get ?main_page=wordpress in the URL so that why when we click on the wordpress sidebox link it will redirected me to index page of zen cart

Where is the function vtu_checkUserWS?

I getFatal error: Call to undefined function: vtu_checkuserws() in /home2/calixto/ayconetworks-www/zencart/includes/classes/observers/class.loginWordPress.php on line 27

Sounds similar to kiddos fix (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=565) At least your fix is centered around the same place in the wordpress-config.php as Kiddos fix..

But to be CLEAR, you are trying to get this mod to work with WordPress-MU correct??? I assume part of your problem might have been related to the differences between WordPress-MU and WordPress (since this mod was written specifically for WordPress and NOT WordPress-MU)..

Anyone knows how to fix automatic redirection to wordpress blog when a '?' is detected at the end?

such as
http://domain.com/?
will redirect to
http://domain.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress

Because it is an issue with zenid attached to the url; and clicking on 'home' will bring you to the blog.

Thanks for any help~!
