Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

I've been searching all over and can't find an answer to this. I've installed Wordpress on Zen, and none of the category/archive/post/comment links work.

What's happening is they look like this:
index.php?main_page=wordpress/?cat=11

When the working URLs should look like this:
index.php?main_page=wordpress&cat=11

What can I do to get these links working correctly? Is there a way to replace the /? with &?

I'm using the default permalinks, and I've tried this both in a separate directory and right in the main directory with Zen Cart.

Hello,
Im starting to think that nobody is home here.

since i have installed WOZ and SEO URLS clicking a manufacturers link will take visitors to the blog.

Please help.

I was able to install this successfully (major shock since I can NEVER get things to work for me), but now I have a cosmetic question.

http://www.queerrepublictees.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress

How can I get rid of the current sidebox on the right-hand side and put the breadcrumbs (or whatever you call the navigation section starting with 'pages' and ending with 'WP') in its place – but ONLY on this page. I know I can use layout boxes to display the sideboxes that were packaged with WP, but this makes it display on every page. :(

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:

I spoke too soon ... I found out I didn't do something right and had to start over from square 1. :cry: Maybe it will help others to know that installing WP in a separate directory did not work for me (as Aeolidia said none of the links would work), but installing it in the same directory as ZC did.

My next issue was having the WP sidebox show only on my blog page. The way I did this was to turn the WP sidebar on in Tools > Layout Box Controller and then add the code #wpsidebar {display:none} at the top of the main CSS file (not the CSS for WP).

Hopefully this info will help somebody .....

Did you upload it in its own directory within the zencart directory? Or ar all the WP files scattered amidst the zencart ones? :ohmy:

Yup, they are scattered amidst the other files. LOL. Of course most of those are contained within the 'wp-amin', 'wp-content', and 'wp-includes' folders so it's not like they are scattered all over the place.

Might seem like a silly question but I really need to know. If I install this mod, am I able to disable it so no one can view it online while it is in the works? I have this mod on my things to do list but I am just not sure if I should already have some articles ready first before doing so. I don't want to have a blank blog that anyone can access.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the info. May I recap my file info to make certain I understand you correctly.

I use an FTP program to access my files.
I open up the public_html file where the INCLUDES and IMAGES of my Zen-Cart are located and I have my WordPress folder named NEWSLETTER.

Is this the right place or should the folder be within the INCLUDES folder in order to work?

I'm trying to add a blog (from my wordpress mod) to my home page. I tried using this code from S-page.net:

But I always get this parse error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /home/content/b/a/s/basherbeatz/html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php on line 5

Has anyone been able to achieve this? If so would you care to share how you did it.

Thanks!!

Love the mod. :) Had it for a while now.

Question: (and yes it's a stupid one)

I am trying to move the links and header title in the blog side box 1em to the right. I know this is a style sheet thing, I am just befuddled as to what to change. The WOZ style sheet was copied and pasted to the bottom of the main style sheet tonight. shrug Although I couldn't get it to change when it was its own file either.

Here is a link:

Many thanks in advance, and I told you it was a stupid question. :P

Arg! I had that same problem and was able to fix it, but for the life of me can't remember what I did. I'm sure I added something to one of the sytle sheets, but don't remember which one. I had to uninstall the mod because it interfers with the live feed mods I use to submit to google, msn, ect. If I remember what I did I will post it.

Ok, like I said, I don't have it installed anymore, but I looked at the mod and I think in the style sheet for WP, try adding the following:

margin-left: 10px;

to this:

#sidebar ul li {
	list-style-type: none;
	list-style-image: none;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
	}

Not sure if that is the right spot, but I think that is where I put it.

Good luck.

Thanks so much for answering back. I actually figured it out with fresh eyes just a couple of minutes ago. It goes in .leftboxcontainer ul li in the woz style sheet. :) I just changed the padding-left.

Thanks again pinetree. :)

Hi. :) It looks like you are getting a 500 internal server error. I keep running into this. :) What it means is that there is not enough memory allocated to php.ini. The new version on wordpress takes more memory than earlier versions. All you need to do is contact your host and ask them to increase the memory allocation to accommodate wordpress. I can't speak for all hosts but they shouldn't have a problem with that. Good luck. :)

Has anyone tried to install this mod using the new WordPress 2.5? I was curious... so I tried it and ended up getting a ton of errors. of course, I figured this would happen, but not really sure how to go about fixing them. I just thought maybe the creator of this mod might want to release an updated version to work with the new WordPress. The main error I am getting is:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/c/i/t/citrussew/html/includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/content/c/i/t/citrussew/html/news/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 689

When trying to "jury rig" this issue, I was just making things worse. So, I set everything back to the way it was right after the install was complete and figured this would be a good test to possibly get it working.

Feel free to check out the WordPress page on this site, although there is not much to look at.

I was just getting ready to install this when I noticed what phycel stated. Maybe I should put it off. Is anyone out there using the newest version of WP with ZC?

Yes, most definitely put it off! I cannot even log into the Zen Cart admin now. It keeps looping around... if I type in an incorrect password, it notifies me that it is incorrect. If I type the correct password, it just reloads the login screen and goes nowhere. This is even after I took off all the WordPress files from the Zen Cart folders. I'm sure I will be up all night trying to figure this out.

What is weird though, WordPress was in a separate folder and controlled by a totally new database. None of the WOZ module files were put into the admin area, so how did it mess this up?
