You are correct. My mistake apparently. WordPress support for CiviCRM is brand new. :)

Anyhow the demo page:

http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM

works just fine. Does that page work on your site?

Yes that link takes me to the CiviCRM dashboard with no CSS styling whatsoever so limited options are shown, no top menu also.

If I try to pull up a contact, I'm getting this error:


Fatal error: Class 'JFactory' not found in /home/thinkdif/public_html/testserver/dna/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Page/View.php on line 258


Any ideas?

I have no idea. "JFactory" is a Joomla concept and I don't think belongs in WordPress. I checked the codebase for CiviCRM for WP, however, and it is there in a few non-Joomla files, including CRM/Contact/Page/View.php

Hopefully one of the CiviCRM team members will respond here.

if i had to guess there is still some "remnants" in your DB of being a joomla site.

i would try the following and see if it works:

1. set you config_backend column in civicrm_domain setting to null and reenter all needed settings

2. I think the below might also be fixed in 4.1.1 (releasing in the next few days) since something similar is happening in drupal6 sites

Anybody find a solution? I am using civicrm with Wordpress and when I try to access the "View and Edit Price Fields" link under  CiviCRM » Administer CiviCRM I get that "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page." error. Can't figure out what's wrong. I tried re-uploading wp-admin and wp-includes folders to the server - no dice.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe it has to do with civicrm being on a test site which is a subdomain and a subfolder in the root directory. I don't see why this would be an issue, however. Yet, I cannot continue to develop until this permissions issue is fixed. Any thoughts?
