Try copying the files from the plugin’s help folder, which includes php.ini files, to the WordPress root as the author suggests. That worked for me.

bbPress Notify doesn’t solve the problem for me, because it doesn’t cover the Forum roles, only the WordPress roles.
However bbPress Notify (No Spam) has extended role management and does exactly what I want. I can set notifications to go to Forum Participants, set existing posters as Participants, and new users as No Forum Role. When a new user posts they automatically become Participants and start being notified. If they ask not to be notified I can downgrade them. Don’t use the Spectator role: it prevents the user from posting.

It’s easy with the shortcode-exec-php plugin https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/shortcode-exec-php/

Use shortcode-exec-php to create a shortcode for the news-ticker php.
(don’t put in the opening <?php and closing ?> )

Put the shortcode on your home page.

OK, putting an embedded forum on a Dreamhost site WP 3.3.1, WP Vanilla Connect 1.1 and Vanilla jcConnect 1.0.3b work perfectly together without making any change to the WP plugin code. This is without using the WP Vanilla Forums plugin; I’m simply putting the embed script from the ‘<embed> Vanilla’ Vanilla plugin into a WP page.

The problems I had with url redirect were something to do with my site url or mod_rewrite or maybe something else that I don’t understand, but were clearly site-specific.

Thanks for your help Nick, I’m marking this as Resolved.

My WP is 3.3.1, Apache is 2.2.19, Vanilla is 2-0-18-1, WP Vanilla Connect is 1.1

mod_rewrite is enabled on the server. I am using it to redirect from the root to the /wp folder, and thought that might be causing a problem. Have just tried resetting mod_rewrite and removing the redirect, but it doesn’t make any difference to the Vanilla redirect failure.

Tried the javascript, <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://DOMAIN/wp/vanilla/plugins/embedvanilla/remote.js”></script&gt; entered in html. The embed works fine but the redirect still results in Page Not Found.
So that means the problem is with my setup, not the WP Vanilla Embed plugin.

I think I will move my whole installation into the domain root. Not having it there has given problems with some plugins I’d like to use. That might take me a few days but I’ll let you know what happens then.

Anyway it sounds like you’ve proved that everything works correctly now with Vanilla embedded, which is very good news.

Nick: if you email me at [email protected] I’ll let you have the url of the site I’m working on so you can see what happens.

Hi Nick. Didn’t change anything else, but haven’t tested it non-embedded yet. Right now I don’t want to change something that’s working!
In your post above there’s a / in front of the index.php?p which I didn’t have.
If you post a new version I’ll test it with embedded Vanilla.

Fixed. See wp-vanilla-connect

Maybe the redirect url should be this?

https://domain-name/vanilla/index.php?p=/entry/jsconnect?client_id=CLIENT-ID&Target=%2F

which seems to do the right thing.

Will try making a few changes ….
