  • Configuration

    Once the module is installed, you need to make some small WordPress configuration changes.

    WordPress URLs

    Next you need to change the WordPress home URL to be the base URL of your Magento store. To do this, login to the WordPress Admin and select Settings > General. You should see 2 URL fields. Change the second field to your Magento store's base URL.

    Settings WordPress URLs for use with Root

    To finish the configuration, open your wp-config.php file and find the WP_DEBUG line and add the following below it:

    define('COOKIEPATH', '/'); // Add this below the WP_DEBUG line

    While it's useful to remove /blog/ (or whatever your blog URL is) from some URLs, it's useful to keep it for your default posts. To do this, select Settings', 'Permalinks in the WordPress Admin and add /blog/ to the permalink structure (eg. /blog/%postname%/).

    Adding /blog/ back into permalinks

    Create a Default Post List Page (blog/)

    If you add /blog/ back in to your default blog posts, you will want to create a /blog/ page to list all of your blog posts. This is the page that is the standard WordPress homepage and probably was your blog homepage before installing Root. To do this, first create a WordPress page and then select this page from the drop down at Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > A static page > Posts Page.

    Replace the Magento Homepage

    To replace the Magento homepage with a page created in WordPress, create a new page in WordPress, publish it and then select it from the dropdown at Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays > A Static page > Homepage.
