Hello X-Carters!

We are glad to announce you the new module "Wordpress in X-Cart".
It does seamlessly integrate the most known and powerful blogging software Wordpress right into your X-Cart store.

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/default/files/modules/wordpress_184x184.png

The coolest features, in my opinion, are:

• The same login and password for both system: X-Cart and WordPress.

• WordPress uses the same design as X-Cart.

Literally, your customers logged into the store are able to post comments in your blog without re-login. And all the built-in default X-Cart skins are supported by the blog.

So if you have the X-Cart store and you are thinking to start the blog, this module is for you.

The module supports X-Cart versions 4.5.x and above. If you have an older X-Cart, don't despair, we can adapt the module for your current store and design. Just let us know or purchase adaptation service right from the module page.

DEMO.

Konstantin, I saw this on the site last night I think. Unbelievably Cool!

Great job guys, I would promote this heavily if I were you. I never buy anything if I can avoid it, but I will be purchasing this module ASAP for myself and my clients.

I have integrated WordPress with X-cart before, and I have integrated other applications with WP as well. Not an easy task, very impressive that you pulled it off so seamlessly. I can;t thank you enough. Seriously we need to get the word out, I would target the entire WordPress market as new potential X-cart clients!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

Looking at the demo site it seems slow to pull out the blog info. I don't know if this is just the XC demo hosting. Other than that looks great

Who was a strong supporter for this module? Learn XC history.

Are their any plans for this to be made available for 4.5.x ?

Thank you for mentioning this. We are about to move the demo site to faster server.

Yes. The module can be installed to the default, or not customized, X-Carts, though. For such a web-stores which are heavily customized or pretty old we have the custom module adaptation service.

Just wanted to report back on this:
I purchased and installed the WordPress Module. Everything went smooth, including installing WordPress it took less than 30 minutes to get this working. I had to download and install the twenty-eleven theme from the WordPress site.

Due to my high security settings, the automatic installation of theme and plugin would not work, so I unzipped the files and uploaded them manually.

Works like a charm. Everyone involved with this integration is to to be commended! Well done.

Edit: Forgot to mention that it behaves beautifully within the responsive template! Seems like you guys thought of everything.

Thank you, Mike, for sharing your experience=)

Meanwhile we have just published a new bundle: X-Cart+Wordpress. I hope you will love it - just like another very popular bundle "X-Cart Mobile".

And if you're not sure, whether to select an extras, a bundle or a separate module, or if you doubt whether you need this module at all, take a look at my new article "3:1 in favor of blogging" - at least to know who scored a single goal =)

Also, I hope to see your comments to the article, guys. Please share your experience and thoughts - not in this thread but below the article of the blog( to avoid off-topic in the forum thread).

Pre-sales question: Can the blog posts appear on the homepage of the cart home.php? Or only in the blog page? As I would like the latest posts to appear in the homepage if I was to use it
