    Hi All,

    I have a MVC3 site deployed to www.setlisthelper.com. I want to create a blog for the site so I installed wordpress at the www.setlisthelper.com/blog. However, I get an error when I try and run wordpress. I get a .NET error "'System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' could not be loaded"

    I assume the blog is looking at the web.config at the root rather than in the blog directory. Can I have a wordpress site with my .NET site. Is the there an option with IIS I can set.

    Any help would be appreciated. I can't find anything on the web

    Thanks,

    Tim

    Usually, you can set the Wordpress directory as an application starting point, but MVC3 uses routing so that may complicate things a bit:

    Hi Trick,

    Did you ever get this working? I was able to get around the error you described by adding this to "RegisterRoutes" in Global.asax.cs. Now I'm having problems with Wordpress itself. I keep getting errors about different php files not available. It seems that the "./somefile" syntax may be problematic. Not sure if this is due to routing or wordpress installation.

    Thanks,
    Steve
