   OK, the setup I'm working out is a basic WP install. Within the root there'll be a folder containing a shopping cart (say, 'store') - ecommerecetemplates

   I want to be able to have posts, display products as and where I wish using WP. That's easy. Then, if people want to go to the store from a post, I'll create manual links to the purchase page within the store.

   The bit I don't understand is, how can I maintain WP sidebar tags within the store - for example, <?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?> etc.

   Do I put wp-blog-header in the tops of all the pages ? That seems to be for a previous version of WP.

   Thanks!

   Is it doable to have Wordpress in the root AND aspects of it (e.g. the sidebar) functioning in a subfolder?

   This is probably my answer

   This line:
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
   is unnecessary. You don't need to explicitly define it false. It doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either.

   And this line:
   require('./wp-blog-header.php');

   Assumes that WordPress is installed in your current directory. The single dot is the current directory path. If you have it in a different directory, you need to specify the path to it.

   Say your PHP page is /public-html/test/page.php. And your wordpress is installed in /public-html/wordpress/. In that case, you'd need to have this line:
   require('../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');

   See? You have to tell it where the file is. The .. is the previous directory. You can also use the full complete path to the file, if you know it.
