<p>Normally when you login to your blog WordPress will create a session cookie that is used to authenticate you. If someone was to steal the cookie they would be able to use it to get full access to your blog without having to know your password. This plugin prevents that from happening – it makes the cookie specific to your IP address, so it won’t be usable from a different computer.</p>
<p>Use this plugin if you have a static IP. If you have a dynamic IP address and it changes often you will get logged out frequently.</p>

<p>This plugin links your Magento installation and WordPress by instantiating the Magento’s Mage object. It is done by using PHP <code>require_once</code> of the file <code>Mage.php</code> supplied by Magento. By doing this, the administrator will be able to pull and push information to/from the Magento. This requires a working Magento setup prior to installation of this plugin. At the moment, Mage object can be used to non-admin pages such as themes.</p>
<h4>Is this plugin for you?</h4>
<p>If you know how to program using PHP with basic knowledge of object oriented programming and familiar with Magento, then yes, this plugin is for you. The plugin, once activated, gives you a raw access to the Mage object which you can use to access Magento methods within WordPress and do stuff like <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/04/08/how-to-use-magentos-session-within-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">single login</a>, <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/07/03/how-to-add-magento-blocks-css-and-javascript-to-an-external-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">pull templates from Magento</a>, display categories, <a href="http://mysillypointofview.richardferaro.com/2010/06/04/add-a-product-with-custom-options-into-magento-cart-from-external-site/" rel="nofollow ugc">products</a> and checkout from your blog and many <a href="http://docs.magentocommerce.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">more</a>. It’s basically extending the ecommerce function of Magento to your WordPress blog.</p>
<h4>This plugin is not for you if:</h4>
<ul>
<li>You want to display your WordPress blog within your Magento shop (Go to Magento Connect instead)</li>
<li>You don’t know how to program using PHP</li>
<li>You have no idea what Magento is</li>
</ul>
<p>Please do take some time to rate the plugin as well as fill in the information needed in the compatibility section. It would be great if you can share your site (only if you’re allowed to do so) which uses this plugin but it is optional though.</p>
