Hi there… wow, did I do something useful?
Here is the mail I sent, though I would note that I haven’t done this for awhile and I may have gotten something wrong, and also that on my site I am using a fairly old v1.52 of the Wordpress module:
Very first thing is to install the Wordpress module normally, just use /modules/wordpress.
Then go into the Wordpress options in Options->General. The WordPress address (URI) option should remain the same (at [your site]/modules/wordpress) but change the Blog address (URI) to [your site]/blog.
Then, go to the Options->Permalinks menu, set the virtual structure you want, and grab the .htaccess data that it gives you.
On your webserver, make a /blog directory, and make a .htaccess in that with the data it gave you in Options->Permalinks. Near the top of the .htaccess file, after the “RewriteEngine On” line (before the “RewriteBase” line, insert this:
RewriteRule index.php ../modules/wordpress/index.php
At this point, it should work… if not, you’ll have to modify your kernel/module.php, but this wasn’t necessary for me. As far as I can tell it has no adverse side-effects on your XOOPS installation… If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me again.

thanks mudi
one problem i have in this case following your instruction is, that changes on URI, both WordPress address (URI): and Blog address (URI) in General Options of wp-admin are not saved or updated.

looking into my database in “wp_options” siteurl is set to what i have changed (in this case tld/blog what is intended) but in general options of wp-admin there is still tld/modules/wordpress
and ofcourse rewrite does not work though.
any ideas?
March 28, 2006 @ 2:22 pm
“siteurl”, on my working installation, is “/modules/wordpress”, while “home” is “/blog”. “home” appears on the second page of the database browser in phpMyAdmin, have you tried that?
March 28, 2006 @ 2:47 pm
yes, .. did that.. still showing modules/wordpress in wp-admin options and … of course in all links of xoops like mainmenu and urls of wordpress posts etc.
yes … i did update module wordpress+ system and killed templates_C
March 28, 2006 @ 2:49 pm
Well, I think that the “modules/wordpress” option must have been hardcoded into 2.x somewhere, I don’t have time to look for it at the moment.
