Embed Vanilla doesn't show the forum content

forumimobiliario

Hi guys,


I have a Vanilla 2.0.16 installation working properly here: http://www.forumimobiliario.com.br/forum

And I have a Wordpress 3.03 installation here: http://www.forumimobiliario.com.br

I installed the plugin vanilla (core), the theme Embed-Friendlyversion 1.0, and received the following code:
<*script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.forumimobiliario.com.br/forum/plugins/embedvanilla/remote.js"></ script>

I installed the plugin in Wordpress, pasted the "Forum Code " and " Vanilla" created the page "discussions" here: http://www.forumimobiliario.com.br/index.php/discussions/

But the page shows no content...(!) What I did wrong ...(?)

Can you help me?

I am facing the same issue with WP 3.8.1 and Vanilla 2.0.18.8

I ahd done it successfully almost an year and a half back. But this time the embedded page is completely blank and just the Wordpress header/footer is showing up

Is the WP using SSL ? This is an ancient thread please start a new one. Read the tutorial about how to embed.

@vrijvlinder As I have said in my earlier post, there was no problem at all when I had embedded it some time back successfully. I thought the process was pretty straightforward.

No, the WP is not using SSL

Also, the addon seems to have been removed from the repository, so I guess it isn't working anymore?

It comes with the core when you download vanilla.

The process is straight forward however the environment where you embed can affect it. The embed is simply an iframe of the forum. But something might have gotten screwed up in your WP page where you embedded. Maybe when you updated WP something got removed .

Look at the source code using web inspector and see if the content is being blocked.

Hey thaanks @vrijvlinder. I checked it on Internet Explorer and its shows HTTP 500 error for the embed. Firebug shouws the code to be a javascript but doesnt have iframe. I have little knowledge of it, so I don't know if they are same

Looks like you will need to re embed the code into that WP page.
Make sure the plugin is enabled.

you can also embed your forum using iframe

<iframe src="url to the forum" style="width:100%;height:1000px;"></iframe>

Thanks mate! That was an easy fix. It's just that the embed is not remaining within the content fold. It's stretching through entire window. I tried reducing width percentage but the container seems to be aligned left.

You will need to fix that by editing the WP theme for that page. In the tutorial how to embed in WP there are instructions on how to do this.

The other is adjusting your theme to fit there.
