Solution: Couldn't find a Vanilla Forum at this url :/

Venome

I was looking for solution for error like above, and finally I found it.

If you using wordpress vanilla-forums-plugin, edit the functions.php file and look for:
/**
* Validate that the provided url is a vanilla forum root. Returns properly for$
*/
function vf_validate_url($url) (..)

change it all for:

function vf_validate_url($url) {
$html = vf_rest($url);
$wr_pos = strpos($html, '\'WebRoot\' : "');
if ($wr_pos > 0) {
$webroot = substr($html, $wr_pos + 13);
$webroot = substr($webroot, 0, strpos($webroot, '"'));
$webroot = stripslashes($webroot);
return $webroot;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
}

 function vf_validate_url($url) {
   $html = vf_rest($url);
   $wr_pos = strpos($html, '\'WebRoot\' : "');
   if ($wr_pos > 0) {
      $webroot = substr($html, $wr_pos + 13);
      $webroot = substr($webroot, 0, strpos($webroot, '"'));
      $webroot = stripslashes($webroot);
      return $webroot;
   } else {
      return FALSE;
   }
 }

I would say, a description of your problem and what you have already done to solve it could really be helpful
