[Solved] Why doesn't my Wordpress integration work?

miniwaites

I have a wordpress install located at www.925recruit.org.uk (the install is actually in http://925recruit.org.uk/wp) and Vanilla is installed at http://925recruit.org.uk/vanilla. However after I have installed Vanilla and connected it to the database (it's using the same one as Wordpress) I then install the Wordpress plugin so that I can integrate it into the site. As soon as I do this the Vanilla dashboard won't load - it will just redirect me to the Wordpress site and say that it cannot find the page. Am i doing something wrongly? If you need further info just let me know.

It's happened to me before, I think I remedied it in .htaccess. Check your .htaccess within your forum root

However, try this solution here:

And if that doesn't work, check Vanilla's .htaccess, and see if it looks like this.

# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   # RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Try removing the # from the # RewriteBase / line, adding the forum's directory name to the end as suggested in line above.
