XF 2.3 How to Drop Xenforo (code) into Wordpress Site?

[Agen78]

I have a new wordpress site with a header and footer and I basically want to drop the forum inbetween those, xenforo is on the same sever as the wordpress site.

I was thinking some form of edting to the index.html file would be necessary. The wordpress site isnt quite built out yet but I wanted to get ahead of the curve before its ready. I have removed the top logo and logo bar on my forum and hope to align it up with a better nav bar.

Pretty sure that would require a bridge between the two which IIRC there are some addons for that but may not be up to par for your needs. The best bet is usually just to style your forums to match your WP install or vice versa.

There is no easy way to do this. this is going to require custom work.

In wordpress land i have a thing that scrapes the header and footer. Then some other code that needs to 'run inside' can paint a header and footer that looks like wordpress, which unifies the look. But you may have a hard time doing this in xenforo because i think it's not setup where it can have some other piece of code draw 100% of the page wrapper

I know its possible, Ive used a few sites that were done that way.
