Fishfig - Magento blog by wordpress integration

I decided to install wordpress blog in my magento shop and leave a following record not to forget how I did.

1. Download fishfig magento wordpress integration (fishpig.co.uk/magento/wordpress-integration/)
Unzip it and just put the unzipped file to your magento folder. It will be added to your magneto folder. Or, you can use magento connect.

2. Install wordpress folder under your magento folder and give them appropriate permission (chmod -R xxx magneto folder name)

tip) not to use ftp, add this code in wp-config.php:     define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

3. After all, please flush cache in magento admin,  log out and log in. You will see wordpress in magento admin menu.

In wordpress menu, there are two dropdowns, Wordpress is for wordpress admin panel and Setting is for integration. Let's take a look at Setting.

 

Wordpress Integration: Yes
Database: This one does not support database integration. So set it NO.
Fill your database information. If you don't know very well. you can find the exact information in wp-config.php


Integration is menu for wordpress blog.

Home url is for magento url: blog or story as you want it shown on magento url.
It is recommended to make the same route for site url in wordpress.

Path is original path (folder name)


*Menu
There is menu and Top Link Just set as you want.
In Top Link, there is a Position. If you set it 1, it will be the first top menu.

After all, if you click wordpress of wordpress menu at top of magento admin, you will be directed to fill out ID and password of wordpress. Once you are done with it, it will be automatically redirected to your wordpress admin panel.

Tip: This integration seems to be made on Twenty twelve theme but I think it works with Coller theme and Nusantara theme. I made it on a basis of coller. If you have any good theme, please let me know.

Thank you.
