Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[busyMom]

Chris, besides Misty's reference, there was also some discussion in this forum starting around page 6 of the old posts. I didn't look through in detail, but perhaps there is some miscellaneous information you can pick up by looking at discussion. The main thing is that you need to understand 'The Loop' to make it do what you want once you get the basics from Misty's instructions. Also, you need to keep track of the code you use because WP does occasionally deprecate functions or update the way you use the loop code and you'll need to make sure the code in your ZC main page stays consistent with new WP code updates. As long as you look through the detailed description of WP code changes and understand how any of them impact (or don't) your loop code, you'll be fine.

Good luck, it's a really cool feeling to see it come alive!

[[ Hi Misty, haven't seen you around here much lately. Glad to see you're still hanging in there to help the rest of us!! ]]

Hello;

Just a little update:

First, I do appreciate all the responses that I received...Thank You.

So here's what happened with everything, I am still not able to get the posts to embed properly. I can embed everything else OK, pages, categories, links, etc. Maybe it's because my site has been heavily modified? But in the end it has worked out OK.

I have customized a mobile skin I found, so I have no header issues to deal with. I have added many pages, categories and external links to other websites. I have also added a simple gallery in which you just add the pictures to a folder and the gallery does all the work for you. Please note that everything is embeded in Zen Cart, nothing opens to the blog website at all.

This installation has been done with the blog in it's own folder - word press version 2.8. And this blog has it's own database. So there is nothing to worry about any conflicts there.

So this mod is really possible if you work at it. I am not a programmer or web designer. All I can say is you just have to spend a little time and read through many posts and websites and take all the information in. Most if not all mistakes are repairable. I started this installation on Thursday and finished it today. I may have a total of about 20 hours or so - start to finish. The biggest problem I found was CSS conflicts, and you will see that on my website when you go from Zen Cart to Word Press. It's not a big difference, but I notice it - just look at the text between the 2 sites and a slight size increase.

Take Care and thanks again for everyone's help

Thank you for this contribution! I have it added into my site and showing up on my front page! Now I have some CSS work to do on it!

Looks like you have changed the permalinks method in the Dashboard. I think you need to use the Default method for wordpress links to work in WOZ

I don't know. But your links to posts look correct. Re-upload the WOZ files again?

Are all the files you need for the theme in the WP Theme folder? Like single.php?
