Problems with wordpress installation.

Submitted by Paul Gregson on Sat, 2013-06-29 20:20 in

Hi,

I've managed to install PT alongside Wordpress and seem to have the two working in a fashion.

From the search box i can't get the merchant, category or brand link to work. Nor does the more info work when you have carried out a search.

Also i can set up a a product in Product Mapping but it does not appear in search results.

If you carry out a manual search for "fron" it returns all the Frontline products.

Search page URL is {link saved}

I suspect I've missed something simple in the config but for the life of me can't see where i've gone wrong.

Many thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

It appears to be related to rewrite, as if I request one of the pages directly e.g.

http://www.example.com/?pagename=search&pto_module=merchant

(replace example.com with your domain name)

...the page works.

If you could first go to wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks, and as a control if you could change the Common Setting to "Numeric" and then Save Changes. WordPress may then be able to make any changes (if required) to the .htaccess file. If not, the required contents of .htaccess will be displayed for you to copy and paste into a new file and then upload to your server as .htaccess

That should be all it is, and then in place of the above the...

http://www.example.com/merchant

...link should then work.

If that's all in place, let me know and I'll help you investigate further...

Cheers,
David.
