Regarding the 404 errors and SEO problems… I ran into those as well. We run Ultimate SEO. Simple solution: turn off permalinks in wordpress. It appears that having mod-rewrite on both Oscommerce links and Wordpress links doesn’t work out well. No idea why that is.

I put two dynamic sidebars within oscommerce boxes. We wanted the blog and pages accessible from everywhere. This eliminates a second “blog” sidebar (as your demo has).
In “column_right.php” i put:
require(DIR_WS_BOXES . ‘blog_sidebar.php’);

I created a “blog_sidebar.php” in includes/boxes/. I put the stuff below… your milage may vary. This worked… our oscommerce design is not highly modified so it should look fairly good for you:

<?php
/* Blog Sidebar by Paul Ireland for Cal Skate Skateboards (http://www.calsk8.com/) 6/26/2008 */
?>
<!-- blog sidebar //-->
<tr><td>
<?php
  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array(’text’ => “Blog Stuff”);

  new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);
?>
<table border=”0″ width=”100%” cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”1″ class=”infoBox”>
  <tr><td><table border=”0″ width=”100%” cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”3″ class=”infoBoxContents”>
  <tr><td><img src=”images/pixel_trans.gif” width=”100%” height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”  “></td></tr>
  <tr><td align=”left” class=”boxText”><div id=”blog_sidebar”><ul><?php  dynamic_sidebar(’Main Sidebar’); ?></ul></div></td>
  </tr><tr><td><img src=”images/pixel_trans.gif” width=”100%” height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”  “></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></td></tr>
<!-- blog_sidebar_eof //-->

By the way, did hackers really hack the demo? I can’t get to it. :-/

I had a problem though.
Because I was using OsCommerce STS template system, and Header Tags SEO contributions. The meta tags were all the same for all blog pages.

I have came up with a solution. Just add the code in the STS template file’s headers:

<?php
if (preg_match("/(.*)blog.php(.*)/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
	echo “<title>”;
	wp_title(”);
	if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo ‘ :’; }
	bloginfo(’name’);
	echo “</title>”;
	wp_head();
	wp_get_archives(’type=monthly&format=link’);
	echo ‘<link rel=”pingback” href=”‘ .get_bloginfo(’pingback_url’). ‘” />’;
	echo ‘<base href=”http://www.YOURSITE.com” />’;
} else {
	echo ‘<!--’ .$headcontent. ‘-->’;
}
?>

Basically this adds one header for the blog pages and the standard header for all other pages.

I hope this helps someone.

Cheers

@n00b0101 - Check to see that stylesheet.css and stylesheet.blog.css are in the root folder of your OSC install.

It’s empty… any idea how to fix that?
