WordPress 3 Bridge

When you enter your absolute path, do not include the "/" in the beginning of your path. For example, my path is,

/home/username/public_html/forums/

use this instead

home/username/public_html/forums/ (notice the missing / at the beginning)

crazy how sometimes something as little as this can eat up your time
hope that helps.

This should be in readme.

I would feel weird adding a line with no slash to start.
Many people are going to make this mistake.
Putting it in the readme will only help a few situations.
I think AVOIDing this by requiring the slash is the bigger problem solver.

This may work for you but not for me.





The mod does not like subdomains. I've had members check this on every browser login combination known to man, and it only works from www.website.com/forum not forum.website.com.
I have it working on other servers using the /forum path but I'm not using URL's like that in a live enviroment.

Some times it's easier to use the relative path, that's why absolute path is not required.
Also, about running XenForo and WordPress in different sub-domains, you will have configure XenForo to use custom cookie settings

$config['cookie']['domain'] = '.website.com';

Please note the dot before the domain name, it's required

Thanks to D.O.A. for the fix

I just did a fresh install on my test site today and got the following error when trying to activate this plugin:

View attachment 6084

from past experience with WordPress, this happens for either two reasons.

1. You did not upload the /plugin files correctly to the right folders or a file or two is missing.
2. Your version of WordPress and the plugin version don't match.

I would double check the first option. Also what version of WordPress are you running?

 

[Edrondol]

It's WP 3.0.1. It was working earlier today with this. I had to do a fresh install as I'm changing from ComicPress to the Webcomic plugin. And I did a straight import of the zip using both FTP and FTPS, getting the error both times.

 

[Sean S]

Hmm, try uploading the plugin files to the /plugin root.

So you would have for example

/wp-content/plugins/xenforo/

move the content from /xenforo folder to

/wp-content/plugins/
/wp-content/plugins/theme

If that fails too, then I really have no clue what else could be wrong. I found this link as well, see if this will help.

[Edrondol]

I finally got it. Instead of using the WP installer I used my own FTP program and PUT the files in their correct directories. Then when I activated it it worked fine. Not sure why that would make a difference but there ya go.

Thanks for the help, though!

 

[Sean S]

glad you got it worked out, no problem

 

[Digital Doctor]

Sean S: Thanks for the help!

All that help and the guy doesn't get a "Like" "Props" ?
Click here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/wordpress-3-bridge.5398/page-12#post-112993 - then click "Like" ? (It's the Xenforo way !)

 

[Edrondol]

Better?

 

[DoctorWatsOn]

I've re-installed in an attempt to get it working, now I find I can login with my xF admin account to both WP & xF, however using a standard xF registered user account, I have the pervious problem that it will only log me into xF.

I tried changing 'registered users' to 'admin' instead of 'default' in the usergroup list within the xF plugin settings in the WP dashboard as a test, but that didn't work.

Any suggestions of what I am doing wrong here?

 

[Sean S]

haha it's no problem really, thanks Digital Doctor and Edrondol

DoctorWatsOn, what happens when you login as a registered user on xF and go back to your blog? does it show you as logged in to comment?

Works perfectly using

$config['cookie']['domain'] = '.website.com';

$config['config'] had no effect.

$config['config'] had no effect.

Oops, my bad. Thank you

 

[D.O.A.]

Thanks again for the great work you've done here

DoctorWatsOn, what happens when you login as a registered user on xF and go back to your blog? does it show you as logged in to comment?

No. It does on an admin account, but not for registered users.

Does anyone have this plugin working on WP 3 and XenForo beta 3?

Does anyone have this plugin working on WP 3 and XenForo beta 3?

I do. Works like a charm.

I'd show you the site but I just switched from ComicPress to Webcomic themes and it looks like a glorified "Hello World" right now.
