 * trying to get the DIR_FS_CATALOG directory figured out. I can’t seem to find 
   it in my Zen Cart setting.
 * this is the error i keep getting.
 * No configuration keys were found in the table configuration. Either the value
   you entered for ZEN_DB_PREFIX on the Zen4WP Settings Page is not correct or WordPress
   and Zen Cart do not share the same database (a REQUIRED prerequisite as CLEARLY
   stated in the Zen4WP readme.txt). Go to Zen4WP Settings Page to check your settings
   and properly configure Zen4WP.

 * From the posting that you made on the Zen Cart forums, the DIR_FS_CATALOG setting
   can be found (and then copied/pasted) from your store’s /includes/configure.php
   file.

 * According to the screen shot you posted, your zen4wp configuration was “accepted”.
   Now you’ve got some issue with “Connections Business Hours”.

 * Apologies.. but the SLOW response is because neither lat9 or I get notifications
   from this forum. (I signed up fro them and STILL don’t get them..)
 * It’s better if you let lat9 and I help you here.. the benefit of this forum is
   that if others are having the same issues they can benefit fom your questions
   and the responses..
 * Okay.. I’ve read everything now and i’m all caught up.. now that your settings
   are correct, I’m not clear on what the issue is at this point. Can you provide
   more details??

 * OK, have you checked that:
    – The DB_PREFIX value that is in your Zen Cart’s /
   includes/configure.php file is ‘zen_’ (since that’s apparently how you’ve configured
   zen4wp)? – That your database contains tables that start with both ‘zen_’ and‘
   wp_’? If not, then your database isn’t shared between the Zen Cart and WordPress
   installations. You’ll most likely need to use your web-host’s cPanel’s phpMyAdmin
   tool to check this out.

 * It depends on your cPanel; it’s a database function.

 * Will this plugin work with either Zen Cart 1.5.4 or 1.5.5 and WordPress 4.4.2?
 * I have carefully followed all the steps, making sure to match my database name,
   username and passwords. Both sites worked fine until i renamed the files in the
   WP plugin and uploaded to my test site.
 * The results I got were that after clicking any link in the admin I did NOT see
   any messages, so i think the installation did not happen.
 * And while the admin area still works the site brings up a completely blank screen.
 * Any suggestions other than using old versions of ZC? We definitely need the new
   version of that.

 * Sandra, it looks like you’re talking about wp4zen which is a Zen Cart plugin 
   used to tie-in WordPress. Its support-forum is [here](https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?213101-WordPress%AE-for-Zen-Cart%AE-(wp4zen)-Support-Thread);
   please take your questions there. Short answer to your question, though, I’m 
   using the current version of wp4zen on my v1.5.4 Zen Cart and WordPress 4.4.2.
 * This discussion is about zen4wp, a WordPress plugin that enables WordPress posts
   to more easily integrate products from the associated Zen Cart installation.

 * YEAH I figured it out!
 * The complete local/physical path to your WordPress files MUST end in a slash.
 * Once I added that, all worked and I can now see

   Glad you figured it out, but in the future you really should start your own thread
   when you have questions or issues..

 * [@cbelter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cbelter/) – lat9is right.. The
   message you’re getting indicates that either your database prefix in your Zen4WP
   settings is incorrect or your WordPress and Zen Cart installations do not share
   a database (a KEY requirement for this plugin to work)
 * Look in your **wp-config.php** file for WordPress these defines:
 *     ```
       define('DB_NAME', 'your_database');    // The name of the database
       /** MySQL database username */
       define('DB_USER', 'your_database_username');     // Your MySQL username
       /** MySQL database password */
       define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password'); // ...and password
       ```
   
 * If WordPress and Zen Cart are SHARING the same database, then they will MATCH
   these defines in Zen Cart’s **configure.php** file
 *     ```
       define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'your_database_username');
         define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password');
         define('DB_DATABASE', 'your_database');
       ```
   
 * Additionally your Zen4WP database prefix setting must match this define in your**
   configure.php** file:
 *     ```
       // define our database connection
       define('DB_PREFIX', 'your_database_prefix');
       ```
   
 * If your setup doesn’t look like this then this is why the Zen4WP plugin isn’t
   working.
 * If your WordPress and Zen Cart installations aren’t SHARING the same database,
   then you will need to combine your WordPress and Zen Cart databases and update
   one of the configuration files (WordPress or Zen Cart) to use the combined database.
 * The basic steps are:
    1. Export (dump) your WordPress database, and import the resulting dump SQL into
       your Zen Cart database (or vice versa dump the Zen Cart database and import 
       to the WordPress database)
    2. Update the configuration file of either WordPress or Zen Cart (depends on which
       direction you did the database combination) to use the combined database.
 * If you are unfamiliar with HOW to do this, you may need to hire someone to help
   you with this task. While lat9 and I are certainly able and willing to provide
   as much basic instruction here in this forum for combining your databases, it
   may be difficult to execute the work required if you are not familiar with how
   to use your web-host’s cPanel’s phpMyAdmin tool. Different hosts use different
   versions of phpMyAdmin so giving specific instruction for how to access your 
   host’s phpMyAdmin Admin will be difficult.
