Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[hira]

This is uniquely an issue with regards to permalinks. Permalinks work just fine, but I have never had good success getting permalinks to work. I am not fully sure what the issues have been.. (I'm fairly certain that it is not a bug of any sorts, but merely something that I am doing wrong when setting them up.. I'll admit that I never really had time to test to fully understand HOW to get WordPress permalinks to work correctly.. When my time permits, I'll REALLY spend some time testing and researching permalinks to fully understand how to get them to work..

You'll see that the default feed URL works fine
../testsite/blog/?feed=rss2

I just turned off permalinks on this test site until I can set them up to work correctly across the board.. That said, I think you will agreee that this is still a CLEANER solution than WOZ, and it is how WOZ should be working.. (Hence why I will continue to be of the opinion that your development approach for WOZ is not the right one..)

I tested, but after all fail in feed.
I want to examine a cause.

No. I started out with www.burnerbooks.com/blog. As I loaded e-commerce for Word Press I received lots of errors. I went back and forth between WP forum and host..and finally host said it would be better to just have different domain name. Could not get it to work. As soon as I switched to new domain name and reloaded...WP site works with e-commerce.

Zencart site was fine. After I got WP site working, I have been trying to get zencart sidebox to work. Kim

Is it that an error happened in WOZ v1.5?
Please try it by all means if you do not try it.

Hi kburner

Is it that an error happened in WOZ v1.5?
Please try it by all means if you do not try it.

In v1.5, please be careful to there not being includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php.
Please delete it if there is it on a server.
When there is it, an error may occur.

Hi Hira,

She's using the Sideboxes Only version as she wanted to keep her blog separate (not embedded).. Her issue is related to the fact that her blog is on a different domain than her site..

Yep.. I will be examining this as well.. I've never had good luck with getting permalinks to work correctly for the feeds..

While the feed links may not work correctly on my other test site using the Numinix blog embedding (ONLY while permalinks are active), I just tested and permalinks don't seem to work at all with WOZ.. (They also work funny when using the Sideboxes Only version too..)

I succeeded in working of feed!
I insert the following code just after wp();.

WOZ v1.5 over: includes/init_includes/init_woz.php
Other : includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php

  if ($_GET['main_page'] == FILENAME_WORDPRESS && is_feed()) {
    gzip_compression();
    require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php');
    exit();
  }

Please try it.
And I am glad when you feed back.

-- Postscript --
When it is an old version, FILENAME_WORDPRESS may not be defined.
In that case, please add the following.

define('FILENAME_WORDPRESS', 'wordpress');

Because the trackback did not work like feed normally, I changed it on the following code.

  if ($_GET['main_page'] == FILENAME_WORDPRESS && ( is_feed() || is_trackback() )) {
    gzip_compression();
    require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php');
    exit();
  }

Thanks for replying back DivaVocals...Looks like I will have to give up on this module at this time. Still have a help ticket into my host. Kim

Sounds good, but do permalinks work?? Friendly feed URLs are one thing (though not terribly important IMO) but permalinks working with WOZ would be a really nice thing..

While the feed links may not work correctly on my other test site using the Numinix blog embedding (ONLY while permalinks are active), I just tested and permalinks don't seem to work at all with WOZ.. (They also work funny when using the Sideboxes Only version too..)

Thanks Hira for bringing the blog feed URLs on my testsite to my attention.. I turned back on permalinks this morning on my testsite.. after researching and testing this I have come to the conclusion that search engine friendly URLs for blog feeds is not a MUST HAVE or even a NEED to have..

Even with permalinks on and configured correctly the default feed URLs work PERFECTLY!! IMO this and the permalinks working correctly is more than acceptable.

I add rules to my robots.txt file to disallow search-engine crawlers from indexing the blog feed anyway (since I want to avoid POSSIBILITY of duplicate content). I will be using an XML sitemap so there isn't any need for web crawlers to index the RSS feeds too. And yes I do understand that the search engine robots can recognize an xml feed page and treat it separately. However, I still prefer to err on the side of caution and tell the robots not to crawl my blog feeds.

Therefore, since I will be excluding the blog feeds from search engine robots, search engine friendly RSS feed URLs are not a MUST HAVE at all.. So when I display RSS links to my blog feed, the link behind the little RSS chicklet will be pointing to the default blog RSS feed URL (which is JUST fine), and the problem is solved..
