Version 1.5 for XOOPS
Semantic Personal Publishing Platform
Welcome. WordPress is a very special project to me. Every developer and contributor adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful that I'm proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, and we're dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part of your world.

Make sure the two constant variables defined in each file:if(!defined('WP_LANG')){define ('WP_LANG','en_EN');define ('WP_MO_CHARSET','utf-8');}Before you upgrade anything, make sure you have backup copies of any files you may have modified such as templates, index.php.
Make sure to backup your database. There is encoding conversion during the upgrade and the procedure is irreversible!
If you have customized your templates you will probably have to make some changes to them. If you're converting your 1.2 or earlier templates, we've created a special guide for you.
If you have any questions that aren't addressed in this document, please take advantage of the numerous online resources of WordPress and XOOPS:
WordPress is the official continuation of b2/cafélog, which came from Michel V. The work has been continued by the WordPress developers. If you would like to support WordPress, please consider donating.
WordPress can import from a number of systems. First you need to get WordPress installed and working as described above.
You can now post to your WordPress blog with tools like Ecto, BlogBuddy, Bloggar, WapBlogger (post from your Wap cellphone!), Radio Userland (which means you can use Radio's email-to-blog feature), Zempt, NewzCrawler, and other tools that support the Blogging APIs! :) You can read more about XML-RPC support on the Codex.
You can post from an email client! To set this up go to your "Writing" options screen and fill in the connection details for your secret POP3 account. Then you need to set up wp-mail.php to execute periodically to check the mailbox for new posts. You can do it with Cron-jobs, or if your host doesn't support it you can look into the various website-monitoring services, and make them check your wp-mail.php URL.
Posting is easy: Any email sent to the address you specify will be posted, with the subject as the title. It is best to keep the address dicrete. The script will delete emails that are successfully posted.
"WordPress for XOOPS" is taking advantage of XOOPS' advanced permission management. You may set the permissions for user levels from admin area as a usual module.
WordPress has no multi-million dollar marketing campaign or celebrity sponsors, but we do have something even better—you. If you enjoy WordPress or XOOPS please consider telling a friend, setting it up for someone less knowledgable than yourself, or writing the author of a media article that overlooks us.
Both WordPress and XOOPS, and XPress - "WordPress for XOOPS", are released under the GPL (see license.txt).
The manual is modified by D.J. (phppp). Localized manuals will soon be available. You are welcome to submit translation for the manual to XPress.
We are building a blog planet for XPress and you are welcome to join us at Xoop Planet.
