    Just wanted to give the daytime folk a crack at this…

    Still working at it. I tried it on a WordPress 2.5 installation that I had running locally and it worked. That doesn’t help me though as all of my live sites are running 2.6

    I’m just trying to narrow down what the problem night be – but I must admit I taking random shots in the dark here!

    … Could you give us an example URL that shows this issue?

    And explain what “FluxBB” is?

    Sure, FluxBB is a fork of PunBB. It’s forum software. Their site is here.

    I’ve been trying to get this to work to the point that I even tried it live just to test if the problem might be with my local setup.

    There’s no link to it from my home page but my live installation is here.

    Feel free to click around. If you try a simple operation such as a search you’ll see the error message I mentioned.

    Otto42, I feel better knowing your on it!

    Hmm.. Without looking at how exactly you attempted to integrate WordPress, I’m not sure what to tell you. Somehow, your require call is not fully happening or some such thing.

    Otto42,

    Thanks for looking! I’ve tried every way I can think of to integrate and get the same error message for each.

    The particular method for integration I am using at the moment as per the FluxBB instructions calls up this include…

    ‘<?php require_once(PUN_ROOT.”../wp-blog-header.php”);?>
    <?php get_header(); ?>’

    I’ve tried all of the other variations I mentioned above. FluxBB has their own include method which involves adding an include tag (<pun_include “header.php”>) to a template file and then placing the code above in a set directory (forums/include/user/header.php).

    In the end it seems to not matter whether I use their include system or just add the standard WordPress includes – I get the same error.

    I’m sorry to be so persistent about this. I’m just at the point now where I’m going to have to admit failure!

    Is there any reason why it would work with WordPress 2.5 and not 2.6?

    Yeah, but WHERE does it do that include? I mean, that really tells me nothing. I don’t know their software. I don’t know how it integrates.

    Simply calling <?php require_once 'wp-blog-header.php';?> will not give that error. So something else is going on there.

    Thanks for taking the time to have a look, Otto42! Sincerely, I feel a lot better knowing it’s not some simple problem I’m overlooking.

    I’m going to work on it over the weekend and then move on. I’ll resolve this thread if I find anything.

    resolved?

    Not resolved.

    I ended up recreating the WordPress header in the Fluxbb forum. It worked but I still have to clean up some code for the nav bar when using IE6.

    You can have a look at it here – although, I’m going to be uploading an update this week.
