This is a copy of http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,13054.msg86329.html#msg86329 WordPress Integrator 1.0.1 instruction

1. What is "WordPress Integrator"?
 WordPress Integrator (WPI) is a set of a snippet (WordPressIntegrator) and a plugin (WordPressRouter).
 Former captures the output of your WordPress. Latter will seize requested URL like
 http://example.com/wpi_blog/2007/03/15/howtousewpi and call the document where WordPressIntegrator-snippet is placed.

2. Requirements
    * MODx 0.9.5
    * WordPress 2.0.5, ME 2.1.2 (some modification required)

mod_rewrite and friendly URL (but NOT aliath path) is also required.

3.  How to use
 3-1. download the wordpressintegrator.1.0.1.zip from http://nanabit.net/modx/wordpress-integrator.html
 3-2. make a document which should be the "interface" of WPI. (ex. id=200)
 3-3. copy the snippet and name WordPressIntegrator. WPMODX_WP_PATH should be the absolute path of your WP. WPMODX_TITLE is your blog's title.
 3-4. write [!WordPressIntegrator!] in document(#200).
      If you would like, add [!WordPressIntegrator?block=latest!] in top page, and [!WordPressIntegrator?block=sidebar!] for sidebar.
 3-5. make a plugin named WordPressRouter and check "OnWebPageInit". PAGE_WP_TOP is your interface-document's ID. (200 for the example above).
      WORDPRESS_ALIAS is the alias to snach from MODx. (wpi_blog for the example above)
      note that http://example.com/wpi_blog/ should NOT exists (oftenly, problems are caused by WordPress placed in http://example.com/wpi_blog/.
      please upload WordPress in another path, like http://example.com/wp/)
 3-6. login to WordPress admin page (Options>>General). set "WordPress address" to http://example.com/wp/,
      "Blog Address" to http://example.com/wpi_blog/. Uncheck gzip option.
 3-7. WordPress modification. replace all "&=" to "=" in wp-settings.php
 3-8. You can use  or some placeholders in the document.
 
4. Known Problems and Solutions
 Q. [!WordPressIntegrator?block=latest!] in the top page works, but the "interface" page does not.
 A. Something is wrong about the plugin.
 
 Q. I would like to use alias path
 A. patch at here http://nanabit.net/blog/2006/12/19/alias-path-like-handling/ would help. (still ensure aliash path is off)
    It makes MODx generate path like alias path, and recognize URLs more flexiblly than alias path.
    Moreover, directories' URL will be like http://example.com/directory/ instead of http://example.com/directory.html
 
 Q. It doesn't work anyway!
 A. Probably Ditto2 or Jot are easier to use. I would like to try them, too.
