Wordpress Integration Errors

[netclick]

I have installed Wordpress and activated the plugin. Now there are these errors (see below) in the header and I cannot access my admin... admin as same errors.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

You have incorrect paths entered somewhere, fix them and the errors should go away.

For example, Warning: include(legalwp-config.php) is a combination of wp-config.php which is the wordpress database configuration data file and legal which is probably part of your home path.

That is not correct, as your home path is /home/lawspace/public_html/lawyers/

OK great! got it integrated (or at least the errors are gone). How do I make the blog appear in IndexU? Do I have to add some code into the template somewhere?

Add an RSS feed to your index (or browse) just like you would for the yahoo or searchenginewatch rss feed, but use the wordpress rss url instead.

Can you please let me know how to do this.

Add an RSS feed to your index (or browse)

Edit /<your_theme>/index.html. Find the code that has the Yahoo or SearchEngine Watch RSS feed URL and replace it with your blog's RSS feed URL.

I know the plugins system is new, but getting these types of errors when activating the plugin is very scary for people who don't realize what happened. It shouldn't "break" your directory by putting in an incorrect path during setup. I personally am not very inclined to try any new plugins knowing that one mistype on installation and I have a chance to break the whole script and have to spend time backtracking to figure out what went wrong. If possible, the plug-ins should operate (or fail to operate) separately from the core script. I don't even know if that is possible, but from the perspective of a user, the plug-ins system is not user friendly.

While I agree with the premise that a plugin shouldn't break the entire site when activating it... It goes to the premise of having two things

1 - BACKUPS before adding anything new to the site

2 - Having a test bed when introducing new changes to test first before doing it on a production site.

Having a test bed site isn't all that hard. You can do it locally and even create a subdomain using the same database.

If possible, the plug-ins should operate (or fail to operate) separately from the core script.

The function of a plugin, it to plug into the core code and integrate itself. It can't operate seperately if it's trying to do this.

While I agree an incorrect path shouldn't cause those issues, and have been asking for error checking in these regards, users should also take caution to ensure paths are correct and that they have current backups in at least two physically seperate locations.
