XF 1.4 Incorporate WordPress Header with XenForo

[Torrey Leonard]

Hey XenForo,

For the past few days, I've been searching endlessly for a way to integrate my forum with WordPress. I've reached the conclusion that, well- it's difficult. At this point, I've extracted the contents of my header to raw HTML and CSS. However, placing the static HTML in my header is a route I would rather not take.

So my question is this: does anyone have a simple way for me to take my WordPress header and place it in my XenForo template header file? Currently, I have a header.php file containing this,

<?php

include '/var/www/1776movement.com/wp-load.php'; //wp file path include
get_header(); //load header
?>

This PHP code displays ONLY the header. It's exactly what I want to place above my forum. It sounds easy, but it evidently is not.

Thanks in advance!

There would be CSS issues of course and potential jQuery conflicts if the header is too complex. A simple one, though should still work fine.

Right, I tried that a few days ago. All I get is an error- something about failing to get HTTP? I worked with that software for a few hours; nothing.

All I need is a way to add PHP to my header. I've already got the code to call my WP header.

Hi,

A few questions:

1. How do you avoid having the CSS that's pulled from Wordpress here affect the Xenforo site? I created a new div around where this was added to the header template- but no luck.
2. Is there a similar way of doing this for the Wordpress footer?
3. How could Xenforo know the actual height of the header that's loaded here, to pad other blocks appropriately in a responsive design?
4. For a complex header-- is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks!
