Hi,

I just dled worpress 2.6.3 but I don't want to get started on anything until I figure out if this version is even compatible w/ the zen cart module. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Can this module be utilized with b2evolution or are there no similarities at all between that and wordpress.

Love it - great work... I installed it and it is working beautifully - except I cannot access the wp admin stuff. It throws a internal 500 error... when i try to access https://www.bluebirdservices.info/zencart/wordpress/wp-admin

any clues? I am off to try that php error handling script to see if i can figure it out. ANy help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm attempting to install this onto our site, and I'm not having any luck. Possibly it's something I'm doing wrong? The directions with the readme file seem a little muddy, but maybe it's just my inexperience...

ZC on our site has its own folder (aestheticsbodymod.com/store.... /store being the ZC folder).

I'm just going to copy/paste vaguely the instructions from the readme file and add what I'm doing... anyone help on where I'm going wrong?

I uploaded everything but the index.php file into aestheticsbodymod.com/store (NOT the whole wordpress folder, just the contents of that folder) via FileZilla

I changed /store so that the permission is 777.

Ran the install for WP.

Changed the WP settings so that the folder matches the folder of my store -- so that's the same as where I uploaded it, right? aestheticsbodymod.com/store is what I put there... at this point, if I go to aestheticsbodymod.com/store I still see our store as usual, and if I click on "view blog" or whatever in WP's admin panel, it takes me to the ZC store as well. Should that be the case? I tried uploading it to a separate folder (aestheticsbodymod.com/store/wordpress) and at this point in the game I could go to aestheticsbodymod.com/store/wordpress and see the skeleton of an un-touched wordpress blog -- but I had read in some of the other comments that this mod only works well with ZC if you do option B and install WP into ZC's folder? I think this might be where my confusion is, but I tried it both ways and am still stumped...

Anyway...

Changed the theme on WP (it was already set to that as default actually).

Changed /ZC_ROOT/includes/templates/MY_TEMP to /ZC_ROOT/includes/templates/custom (my custom template name)

Uploaded the contents (NOT the entire folders, right?) of ZC_ROOT and WC_ROOT to aestheticsbodymod.com/store via dragging and dropping in FZ.

Didn't need to change all the 'exit' parts to 'return' since it's a new version of WP.

Changed "'ABSPATH','/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/blog/'"
to "ABSPATH','http://www.aestheticsbodymod.com/store'"

Logged into ZC's admin panel to make the sideboxes visible...

still doesn't work.

Any ideas? Based on my input here, is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried this install a few times now and tried to do it a couple different ways, and I'm still not getting it to work. When I load "http://aestheticsbodymod.com/store/index.php?main_page=wordpress"

I get a file not found error still... same as if I click on any of the sidebar links for the blog in ZC.

Thanks in advance for the help!

guys. can I put my wordpress account inside zencart 1.3.8? how will i do that? help please.

Okay, so I think I'm closer... I now have wp functioning inside of zc, but it isn't taking on any of the style of zen-cart... it just looks like the generic wp template inside of zen-cart.

Where did I go wrong?

Also, maybe this is an easy one, but I want the most recent blog entry to be the main page of our store. Should this be happening already (it's not) or did I do something wrong? Or do I need to somehow make the main page redirect to the blog page?

can somebody tell me how to fix the fact that my wordpress content protrudes into the sidebox. click here

thanks

Great module, but interfere with the rss feed mod. Force me to uninstall it.

If there's a solution, please pm me! Will give you free $5 coupon for my shop.

You adjust stylesheet for

<[B]h2 class[/B]="pagetitle">Archive for the ‘Martial Arts News’ Category</h2>

which stylesheet would you be referring to, i do not see that tag anywhere

Hi I have just installed wordpress on zen cart plugin. I followed all the steps, i can see all my wordpress pages in the sidebar but when i click on a wordpress page links in the sidebar, it openes a blank page. I checked the source code of this blank page and cannot see anything there as well. Any help appreciated.

Hi, I am new to both zen cart n wordpress. I installed wordpress into zen cart and it's working fine...only thing is, when I click on the 'Blog Sidebar' it gives me the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/oragever/public_html/includes/templates/magic/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/oragever/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

Anyone has any ideas about this? It's ok actually even if the 'Blog Sidebar' is just pure text that doesn't redirect to somewhere else...

btw my url is http://makeupcelebrity.com

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I used to get this error and it bugged me a bit trying to figure it out. I believe that it is being caused by a plugin that you have with wordpress.

Ohhh, I just checked your page and it seems you have fixed it. Was it caused from a plugin?

What do I need to do to change my blog URL to "mysitename.com/blog/" instead of "mysitename.com/wordpress/"

The folder where wordpress is installed is named "blog". I also have Simple SEO URL installed, but the alias does not seem to work for some reason.

It may be difficult installing these in seperate directories. Apparently it can be done with a fresh version of Zen Cart, but there is some addon that must conflict with it. If you have managed to successfully install in seperate directories and you can actually access the blog through Zen Cart, I think you would need to make your change to the file in includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php in the section with:

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

Your 'ABSPATH' would probably be ../wordpress/ or something like that.

Let me know if something like that works.

the 'ABSPATH' in the sample I used is when you have wordpress installed in the same directory as Zen Cart, as per his instructions.

While I'm grateful that someone started such a cool mod, this thread seems to be full of question after question with no real answers. Most of the sites I checked in this thread seem to have totally given up on getting this to work and just installed wordpress on its own page.

I installed it and its not working at all. I followed the poor instructions step by step. I wish the few who actually got this mod to work would revisit this thread and enlighten us instead of just disappearing to conquer their next task =)
