Simple and effective Wordpress and Magento integration

We’re not trying to re-invent the wheel here, nor are we going into any depth of connecting the authentication modules. From a front-end standpoint, the two “elements” wordpress and magento are essentially one – but all administration is carried out via either separate admin.

Where our solution works better than the others (Lazzymonks or ActiveCodeline), it actually allows the clean search engine optimised URL’s from Wordpress to be used in Magento’s breadcrumbs and address bar. It also takes advantage of Magento’s standard caching functionality, so the speed is very impressive. We also integrated the “Pages” listing in the sidebar with that of the Magento CMS, so you can use Wordpress for posts and still retain the Magento CMS for pages.

So it provides a big thumbs up for SEO, ease of use and performance.

So why use it?

Includes breadcrumbs
Supports SEO Urls
Supports META tags
It is free! (we can also install it for you for a small fee)

Installation

Installation might not be that straightforward as we developed it purely for a quick and clever wordpress / magento intergration, so we’ll try to explain as best we can!

This was tested and used with Wordpress 2.8 with Magento 1.3.2.4 and Wordpress 2.8 with Magento 1.4.0.0 at the time of writing

Current version: 1.1.0

1

First, download the files that you need
Sonassi_Wordpress_Module.tar.gz
Sonassi_Wordpress_Theme.tar.gz
Sonassi_Wordpress_MagentoTheme.tar.gz
Wordpress.xml.tgz
2

Make a new directory ./app/code/local/Sonassi then install the Sonassi_Wordpress_Module.tar.gz by extracting the tar file, then put the directory “Wordpress” in to a new folder ./app/code/local/Sonassi.
3

Download and install the latest version of Wordpress from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip. Extract to ./blog (you can also change this, but you will need to change the blog reference throughout) and install Wordpress as normal.
4

Extract Sonassi_Wordpress_Theme.tar.gz into the ./blog/wp-content/themes directory and select the Magento Wordpress 1.0 by Sonassi as the active theme.

In Settings > Permalinks set custom structure with /%category%/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ for SEO.

5

Edit ./blog/.htaccess and add the following information at the start, replace the XXX section with the outbound IP address of your server. This is to prevent the un-styled raw pages from Wordpress ever being displayed or indexed.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/wp-admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/wp-content
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^XXX\.XXX\.XXX\.XXX
RewriteRule .* ../index.php [L]
</IfModule>
 
# BEGIN WordPress
 
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
 
# END WordPress

6

Update your ./htaccess to allow Wordpress to work, add this just beneath RewriteBase /

############################################
## sonassi.com wordpress extension
##
 
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/wp-content 		
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/blog
    RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^XXX\.XXX\.XXX\.XXX
    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

7

Extract Sonassi_Wordpress_MagentoTheme.tar.gz to ./app/design/frontend/default/default/template . We deliberately left these files almost empty – so you can customise them to your needs.

Extract Wordpress.xml.tgz to ./app/design/frontend/default/default/layout. This file contains the XML for the extension, it has a default handle of blog_default that is applied to every page, this can be adjusted to suit your desired look.

8

Create a new file ./app/etc/modules/Sonassi_All.xml to enable the Wordpress module

<config>
  <modules>
    <Sonassi_Wordpress>
      <active>true</active>
      <codePool>local</codePool>
    </Sonassi_Wordpress>
  </modules>
</config>

That should be it, add some example posts, then visit your news on the front end via www.YOURDOMAIN.com/blog/ . We must stress that this Magento wordpress extension was never designed for mass installation – it was a quick one off for a customer that turned out to rival (if not better) the alternatives out there.

We’ve set up an example at http://demo.sonassi.com/blog/ – from following the directions above, we haven’t themed any element of it so you can see how it will look from the onset.

What’s going on, I keep getting redirected to the 404 page

On around line 163 of ./app/code/local/Sonassi/Wordpress/Page.php, there is a call to grab the current store code. We liberally assumed that “default” would be your default store name, if it isn’t, then it will cause 404 redirect errors.

Simply change it to,

$store = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();

We are using wordpress 2.9 and the lazzymonks extension. Any advice on migrating from the lazzymonks extension to this method? It seems to be a much better solution.

  Hi 8asic,
  
  The only real advice I could offer is to follow the installation instructions backwards for Lazzymonk’s extension – removal is the reverse of installation.
  
  Or, install this alongside the Lazzymonks for the time being – as far as I know, it doesn’t share any common URLs or rewrites.

Guys,

This seems like a more elegant solution than the alternatives I’ve found. Unfortunately, I can’t get the news page to show the posts from Wordpress at all. I’ve installed as illustrated above. I’m using Magento 1.3.2.4 and Wordpress 2.9.1 (installed in its own db). The rewrites seem to work correctly, but the end result is that I get the 404 page whenever I try to access any of the blog pages. For example…

http://MyDomain.com/news – > 404 No Route page
http://MyDomain.com/news/uncategorized/2010/01/hello-world/ – > 404 No Route page

I know Wordpress is installed properly. I can access the admin panel and if I remove the rewrites from ./fetch-news, I can see the unstyled pages correctly. I think my problem may be related to getting Magento to do whatever it’s supposed to do with Sonassi_Wordpress_Module.

I’m afraid that I only know enough php to get myself into trouble. I would be happy to try to make changes based on your recommendations. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

rdv

    Thanks so much for the prompt reply. I came in this morning and just happened to reload the /news page and found that the test post showed up right away. I’ve started styling the output from the wordpress theme to look like the rest of my site.
    
    Questions:
    1. I can’t figure out how to get the menu into my layout. I am using a 2-column layout for the most part and would like the blog menu to show up at the top of the left col while the content is on the right. Any help customizing the menu would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in showing the last 10 articles, the archives and the tags.
    
    2. One of the reasons to use wordpress for me is the ability to generate the sitemap.xml file via a plug in. I installed XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress 3.2.2 and that seems to be working fine. The sitemap shows the fetch-news version of the urls. I assume that the rewrite puts in a 301 to the news version. Is that correct?
    
    3. How do you suggest showing the last X posts on the home page?
    
    Found bugs:
    1. You can’t have a category named News. This results in an extra replace with fetch-news that results in a 404 No Route Page.

Hi Ben,
I’m very excited about the prospect of using your integration.
I’ve gotten it installed on a remote linux host with Magento 1.3.2.4 and Wordpress 2.9.1.
When I go to http://www.mydomain.com/news, it waits, then times out with

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

I’ve triple-checked your installation steps, have caching turned off, and cleared both my magento and browser cache.

Something is obviously going on with the rewrites – the same thing happens with
http://www.mydomain.com/fetch-news
and
http://www.mydomain.com/fetch-news/index.php

Might you have some guidance?

Thanks!

OK… rechecked steps 2, 7 and 8, and manually cleaned out var/cache and cleared browser caches.
I’ve got
app/ +code/ | local/ | Sonassi/ | Wordpress/ | +controllers/ | | StandardController.php | +etc/ | | config.xml | +Model/ | Page.php +design/ | frontend/ | default/ | default/ | template/ | wordpress/ | content.phtml | head.phtml | left.phtml +etc/ modules/ Sonassi_All.xml

I had also discovered that the RewriteBase line in magento/.htaccess was commented out, so I uncommented it and restored it to
RewriteBase /

but it didn’t change the behavior after clearing caches again.

Perhaps I should put error_log statements in to see what (if anything) is getting rewritten? If you think that’s useful, where would you suggest?

Thanks

It looks like my situation has converged with rdv’s. I wonder if there is some other server/magento configuration that’s causing this.

Hi Ben,
I got it figured out.
At least under Magento 1.3.4.2, there’s an error in
/app/code/local/Sonassi/Wordpress/Model/Page.php
function: getPage()
line: 47,
in the call to Mage::getBaseUrl().

When fetching the page
http://www.mydomain.com/news
the call to Mage::getBaseUrl() is returning
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php
which, when prepended to $loc becomes
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/fetch-news/
which isn’t a real magento URL, so it gets rewritten to
http://www.mydomain.com/news/
and we’re in a redirect loop.

The call to Mage::getBaseUrl() on line 47 should be
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB)
which will return the URL without a trailing index.php, and the constructed URL becomes:
http://www.mydomain.com/fetch-news/
instead of
http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/fetch-news/
and then it works!

My question for you is:
There are 2 other calls to Mage::getBaseUrl() in getPage(). Should either of these be using the Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB parameter as well?

Thanks for your integration!

I’ve tried this on my localhost server.

the problem is I always get 404 error, although I already check following code.
$store = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();

and your configuration is useless when we want to rename it to /blog/ instead of /news/

we have to edit all the php and xml file within the Sonassi folder in app/code/local. but that doesn’t work either.

I don’t know.. maybe anybody can point me to the right direction?!

  Hi Blaze,
  
  The new version released is defaulted to /blog – so install that one instead and remove the changes from the previous version.
  
  A 404 error or redirect loop is almost always the IP being wrong in both .htaccess files or the cache not having been refreshed.

I continue to get 404 errors. I have check all steps and repeated the install. Used all the info from this post and still 404.

I have changed $store = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();

If I remove the .htaccess from fetch-news I can see the raw unstyled pages. I assume it is a rewrite issue, but I can’t figure it out. I have the correct IP. And wordpress backend is fine.

Any advice?

This is a great little integration that you have developed. I have installed it on my web site and everything works except for posting comments. When I try to post a comment it just goes to the main wordpress page. One note is that I changed the directories from ‘news’ to ‘featured’ and from ‘fetch-news’ to ‘featured-tees’. I modified all of the Magento files, .htaccess files, and the wordpress config to make that directory work and it is working as far as posts showing up, but the commenting is not working. Any suggestions?

  Hi Lost,
  
  I think I know what might have caused that. Wordpress uses its comments (#START WORDPRESS) as a file parsing mechanism so it can retain your changes whilst adding new ones from new plugins etc.
  
  I have changed the .htaccess for Wordpress now to suit this (it was just tidier/smaller the previous way).

Great plugin guys, I had the Lazzymonk one running after fiddling with Magento for a few hours. Backtracked and installed this in 10min! Really like having the proper permalinks.

One question, I am trying to work locally on my dev box, but how can I set the server IP? Setting RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1 just gives me a blank page and commenting out these lines just sets me on a constant re-direct of http requests. Any ideas?

  Hi Ollie,
  
  We were trying to help someone with a WAMP dev environment last night achieve the same thing.
  
  But it isn’t *really* possible out the box as the server IP is the same as the client IP. If you get Apache to communicate on another device (NOT the loopback interface), then it will happily work.

    Thank you very much for your immediate reply! I tried to replace all occurences of /blog with /how/blog (both .htaccess files, Page.php and config.xml) as suggested and now I cannot access the blog at all – I keep getting 404 errors.
    
    I double-checked everything and I cannot find anything else that needs changing. It seems that magento is not redirecting /how/blog to index.php so that your module gets the request. I am not sure why though…

  Hi Ben,
  
  This is what my .htaccess in /how/blog looks like:
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /how/blog
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/how/blog/wp-admin
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/how/blog/wp-content
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/how/blog
  RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^91\.207\.220\.69
  RewriteRule .* ../index.php [L]
  
  # BEGIN WordPress
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . index.php [L]
  
  # END WordPress
  
  Since I get the magento 404 page I guess it is not a redirect issue – magento doesn’t know where to find the /blog/* pages – so I guess I am doing something wrong with the magento addon.
  
  Does this sound like a config.xml or a Page.phtml issue? Is there an easy way to debug this and figure it out?
  
  Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Ben,
I discovered your extension depends on the existence of the navigation breadcrumb (as our site doesn’t use the breadcrumb, and it broke when I took it out!). I added a check in StandardController.php to make sure $breadcrumbsBlock isn’t empty before using it, and that did the trick. Thought you might want this feedback for your next update.
Thanks for your work!

Does anyone have any ideas. If the rewrites are correct what else will cause the redirect loop?

Magento ver. 1.3.2.4
WordPress ver 2.9.2
Running Litespeed

Oh yeah.. the IP address is correct!

I keep getting the 404 page, I have template folder in my default folder so i put in base. Could that be the problem?

  Hi Ronal,
  
  It sounds unlikely, more to do with Magento not picking up the rewrite.

For those that are getting stuck, if you want help with integration, get in touch for more in depth assistance.

What we will need is SSH/FTP/Magento Admin/phpMyAdmin details and the Store URL.
