i'm able to get wordpress working on a seperate directory then i'm lost as to what to do after that i'm going to read all the info on this again but it's just giberish to me, it takes me 10plus hours just to upgrade my zencart just so you can understand where i'm comming from (i won't even upgrade my 1.3.6 to 1.3.7 because i don't want the headache)

I have installed wordpress .3 and am running zen cart 1.3.7 I uploaded the samples and everything else, included them in my sideboxes and they show up but only as titles....there is no way to get into the blog and I can't figure out how to access the admin area, I have looked through my zen cart admin a 1000 times and can't find anything. Any help would be great.
You can see it on my site.

Where/how did you install wordpress.. directly into zencart folder, or into it's own seperate folder??

Everything is in my admin folder. I was able to install it.

Wordpress programme should be uploaded directly into your zencart
... wordpress module files go into specific folders as per readme file contained in zipfile..HTH

I just changed all of my wordpress files directly into zencart and now when I go to my site I click on either blog option it takes me to my zen cart admin page!!!! I still can not find any configure options on my admin either....I odviously have something majorly wrong, but I don't know what. I deleted all the "old" files out of my admin folders.

10 hours later, I figured out my problem was, I needed to empty the database tables. So everything is installed directly into my root, changes have been made according to readme. Now my sideboxes just reload my mainpage. Can anyone point me in some direction? I also have nothing in my site admin about wordpress except under the layoutboxes, is this right??? What am I doing wrong? :frusty: This couldn't say it better!

Can anyone help me with this? My blog link is still just redirecting to my home page. What do I need to change? I have looked at all of my files, they are all in the correct spot, I have unistalled and installed again. I am out of options as far as I know....which isn't very far, ha ha!

I currently have Zen installed in the root dir of my server. I have Wordpress installed in a directory called 'forum'.

Is there a way to take my existing installation of Wordpress and move it so that it works inside of Zen without having to reinstall wordpress?

I'm sorry I didn't make out how to write a blog. :blush:

Thanks!:smile:

I have recently tried to install the Wordpress on ZenCart mod. I followed the instructions to the letter and rechecked all the steps twice. When I try and bring up my index.php, I get an error page stating that I have not installed Wordpress yet. I have and can access the admin panel. I did not upload the Wordpress index.php as instructed and when I open the index.php in dreamweaver, it is the page for ZC. The only thing that I may have done incorrectly is I left the old WP database in place and just dumped the tables. When I installed WP, it located the database and installed the new tables.

There was one item that I found in the instructions that was not exactly the same. "6.Change a file name [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.txt] to [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.php]." The file that I located here was accutally called 'wordpress-config.txt' and I renamed it 'wp-config.php'

Also, do I need to remove all 'index.php' from WP? example: wp-content/index.php

Any ideas??

Although I don't have the same problem, I have been having troubles having this working. Though I feel I am so close. I think it is hard to grasp the instructions, but it is not the Authors fault due to their locality. I think I have got most of it nailed, eg. wordpress in the root of Zencart e.t.c. Just me being dense and missing the finer points maybe. lol

As far as I understand, you don't need to remove the index.php from WP-Content.

A-1 Electronics...
includes/extra_configures/ must have wordpress-config.php file
re module instructions.. you have renamed wordpress-config.txt incorrectly...
No need to remove /wp-content/index.php

That was one of my concerns. The file from the mod is called wordpress-config.txt. However, the instructions state to find wp-config.txt and change it to wp-config.php. I was not sure how to name the file.

From what I am understanding, I need to rename it to wordpress-config.php, correct?

And thank you for your response.

I have to be missing something simple.

I am getting the same error.

Do I need to have one database for both zen and wp? I didn't think it would matter but maybe it does.

I have read thru and found nothing. Im sure this is simple. I have installed as per the instructions. I have edited the wordpress_config.php file to the correct settings, I think.

When I goto Your_ZenCart_URL/wp-admin/install.php, no error, just a blank screen? Help!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You
Gary

Finally got it.

Will this mod allow a registered account holder in Zen to post blogs without having to register in WP?

No it will not.
