I've put the required regular expressions (with the /blog additions) in the main site htaccess after the shopsite, and I can't see any conflict. This with NO htaccess in the /blog folder. AND I have let the main shopsite access as is, and put the standard wordpress (with /blog) htaccess in the /blog folder, and every other combination, I think. Without 'pretty' permalinks, it's perfect, with them it's a sure 404. Somebody's got to have done it. Help, and thanks.

The method I'm using right now to integrate the two: 1) I'm using the "Order Anywhere" feature of ShopSite to add the product order buttons to the WordPress blog 2) I made a customized ShopSite shopping cart template to match the look and feel of the blog I'm currently exploring other methods of integrating ShopSite and WordPress, but that's what I've come up with so far. Because the site itself is being generated by WordPress alone, everything should function just as it would otherwise. Hi Russell,

Using SEO friendly URLs shouldn’t be a problem, and .htaccess functions just the same. The method I’m using right now to integrate the two:

2) I made a customized ShopSite shopping cart template to match the look and feel of the blog

I’m currently exploring other methods of integrating ShopSite and WordPress, but that’s what I’ve come up with so far. Because the site itself is being generated by WordPress alone, everything should function just as it would otherwise.

I was wondering if it could be done. Do you have any issues with integrating wordpress/shopsite and the seo friendly urls in wordrpess? .htaccess just works the same? That’s way cool.
