   Do WordPress and Magento have to use the same database?

   I have mage-enabler successfully installed. I add an item to my shopping cart on the Magento site.

   When I run this code in WordPress
   

   $cart = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount();
                               echo "<pre>";
                               print_r($cart);
                               echo "<pre>";

   It returns 0

   Did not see anything in any of the instructions saying it has to use the same database but I am wondering if this is the reason.

   Never mind. I got it. Magento and WordPress do NOT have to be using the same database.

   My issue was I did not have

   if(class_exists('Mage')){
       Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));
    }

   above get_header(); in my template file.

   Great plug-in. Thanks!
