Installing wordpress seperately without adding zencart wordpress
module files is the reason your wordpress zencart sideboxes are not
working...

Visited your site..you have attempted to integrate
an existing wordpress install with zencart wordpress module.
Zencart wordpress module is designed to integrate with BRAND
NEW LATEST WORDPRESS RELEASE...

am still having problems with (I think) the wp-config.php - and the mysterious wordpress-config.php in (/includes/extra_configures). Should these files be the same?

And what is ABSPATH and how do we define it properly? I believe this is the cause of most of the errors about missing files and functions.
wp-config.php - and the mysterious wordpress-config.php in (/includes/extra_configures). Should these files be the same?:no:
NO!!
ABSPATH should be

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

Wp_Sideboxes to show only after login.......

//Comment in next line if only registered members can view this sidebox
//if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '')
require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);

> should do what you require..remove the two forward slashes
> before 
> ```
if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '') 

Do I need to remove the rest of the code that is already there? I tried adding the code you provided before the existing code but the sidebox still shows up without being logged in.

I also went and tried adding the code after the existing code with the same results.

I was in error. The box is still there. But instead of showing archive information, it shows a box heading of Blog Archive, but shows manufacture information.

WP Archives sidebox.. only show sidebox to registered members
who are logged into zencart
Copy code below ..create file named wp_archives.php
Place file as follows into
/includes/modules/sideboxes/wp_archives.php

Works.. I tested 3 minutes ago

Worked. I don't know what I was doing wrong. I tried that. But, it is working now.

Thank you very much Misty!:clap:

When I cut and pasted the code from misty's site a couple of characters were not correct which caused the same issue you are having

define_main_page.php - Make sure the quotes are correct in your file. They weren't in mine which caused the url link to be incorrect.

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title();

I have my blog integrated and displaying on the main page. However my blog posts have some strange characters in them. It is a character encoding issue. Wordpress requires UTF-8 encoding. When I manually change the encoding on my browser to UTF-8 the strange characters disappear. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Disregard. I figured it out. You have to set WordPress to ISO-8859-1.

First off, I am trying to download this from the link on the first page.. I get this:

Error establishing a database connection

Secondly, can someone answer a question for me?

I want to have just 2-3 latest topics of the blog at the bottom of the stores landing page. I do not want any of the blog sideboxes to appear until after a user has clicked through to read more. Can this be done?

Thanks!

Post 171 in this thread gives new url to download Word Press Mod..
WPress Side boxes..can be set so only show to members..
2/3 latest blog topics can be shown on main page of zencart i.e.
http://www.dezinashop.com/demo/

Ok, thanks misty!

Not sure what step I haven't followed here, but the site just isn't coming up. Did a clean install on both ZenCart and WordPress and am pretty sure I followed the directions properly, however looking at other posts everyone else seems to have installed it with no problem so I need to get some guidance- probably very simple. I'm just getting an error that there is a problem connecting to database, however the installation went swimmingly and I can enter admin panel on both ZC and WP so it's something at the front end that isn't happy. Any ideas on why there would be connection issues? The install is on https://www.pimpmyshow.com

Are all your configure files pointing to correct database etc, especially
in zencart file /includes/configure.php

Hi all - this mod looks great, I wish I could get it to work. Can anyone post some instructions that make sense? I'm on my 7th install and am still having problems with (I think) the wp-config.php - and the mysterious wordpress-config.php in (/includes/extra_configures). Should these files be the same?

And what is ABSPATH and how do we define it properly? I believe this is the cause of most of the errors about missing files and functions.
Did you ever get WP to work?

No, I haven't gotten this to work yet. The config file is fine, everything installed properly for both ZC and WP and I can log into the admin section on each, just can't find a front end and the error is DB related so I'm kind of baffled.
