Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[stampsville]

Hi All,

Finally got it installed. Wow what a ride, hit more potholes with this than in Youngstown, OH (Famous for those maneaters). Anyhow, When I log in to the site it directs me the wordpress page rather than the home page. Anyone have this issue? Took a quick glance but didn't see it anywhere.
Thanks

Yes and I spoke to host - bluehost. They made sure my php.ini was working.

Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off

All came out good. Host said has something to do with zencart and wp working together.

Again if this is a WordPress Plugin you are trying to get to work on your WordPress blog, you should pose the question in the WordPress forums.. Seems the community there would be in the best position to answer your questions..

[awesome]

Why would you activate e-commerce when you have a zen cart site? seems like you would have to load all of your products into both tools.

Not if this is a WORDPRESS plugin that embeds an existing e-commerce site (like Zen Cart) into a WordPress blog.. (much in the same way that this thread is dedicated to a module which embeds your blog into a Zen Cart site -- Which does NOT require you to load your blog posts in two locations)

I've got this mod working great with my site in the same directory, but I had a few small issues that I was hoping someone had some experience with:

1) "leave a response link" at the end of single post pages goes back to home page instead of positioning you lower on page.

2) Breadcrumb shows title tag of website -- I'd rather it say "Blog" because that's where I am. Any easy way to change this?

3) Automatic updates in admin don't work -- in fact they completely bork the installation. I had to restore my whole site after doing this! Is there any documented way to update WP? It makes me awfully nervous knowing that WP is not up to date on my site.

Thanks!

So FINALLY have time to install and test the Numinix blog embedding solution... I wanted to try and get the WOZ sideboxes to work with this embedding solution.. I have posted a comment on the Numinix blog (not on his forum) but my comment(s) are marked "Your comment is awaiting moderation" so I'm not sure he's seen it yet.. So in the meantime, I decided to post here hoping someone here has run into this and can help..

I am getting a 404 error when you access the blog, and after rechecking EVERYTHING I am plum out of ideas what went wrong.. Has anyone else had 404 errors with this solution?? I saw posts about blank pages, but not 404 errors.. Hoping I can get a hand/hint about what I might have done wrong from anyone who had the same issue..


Zen Cart address (URL) http://clients.overthehillweb.com/testsite/
Wordpress address (URL) to http://clients.overthehillweb.com/testsite/wordpress
Blog address (URL) http://clients.overthehillweb.com/testsite/blog


====================================
Opened includes/wordpress_page.php and changed

require(‘../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); 

to

require(‘wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); 

====================================


.htaccess file used is as follows: (I tried BOTH versions of the last line.. NEITHER seems to make a difference)

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ /index.php?main_page=blog&$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ /index.php?main_page=blog$1 [L]

This does NOT work when the URL is: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/testsite/blog (I get a 404 error)

Here's the specific error I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I can get the main blog page to display when the URL is: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/te...main_page=blog. However, the blog links from here all get the 404 error. For example: http://clients.overthehillweb.com/te...log/?page_id=2

I’ve double and triple, and quadruple checked EVERYTHING.. Dunno what could I be missing..

Gonna try makin' a small change to my .htaccess file when I get home.. Shoulda been obvious.. unfortunately late night work usually means the obvious will get overlooked.. **sigh**

I seem to have answered all my three previous questions, so in case anyone else has the same problems:

1) "leave a response link" at the end of single post pages goes back to home page instead of positioning you lower on page.

Just make it not a link. The comment form is right below it, so its pretty obvious how to leave a response. You find it in wp-content/themes/default/single.php.

2) Breadcrumb shows title tag of website -- I'd rather it say "Blog" because that's where I am. Any easy way to change this?

Turns out the breadcrumb is just the title of the blog. Change the title of the blog to whatever you desire here in WP.

3) Automatic updates in admin don't work -- in fact they completely bork the installation. I had to restore my whole site after doing this! Is there any documented way to update WP? It makes me awfully nervous knowing that WP is not up to date on my site.

This was obviously the most important of my concerns, and luckily, there was an easy fix. Just backup /index.php and everything in the folder wp-content/themes/default and then restore these files after the automatic update. Pretty simple to do!

There may be a few little hiccups in WOZ, but overall, it works pretty darn well! The only thing I couldn't get to work were widgets -- you have to stick with the standard sidebar. However, WP is well documented so its pretty easy to figure out how to customize the sidebar manually. I am pleased! :)
