I want to use the same theme from my wordpress on my forum, i've done some research and found that i can call the header and footer from my wordpress theme?
If this is correct, what code would i use? My forum and wordpress installations are in two seperate folder ...
Help? Thanks.
To use WordPress functions, you'll need to include the wp-blog-header.php in your forum template.
There after, you would be able call the get_header(), get_footer and other relevant functions which you need.

How would i include the wp-blog-header.php file in my template?
Posted 2 years ago #
<?php
// Include WordPress
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
something like that? (probably need some adjusting, its how I call it for use on my website, where I DON'T want to use the theme....

I'm totally lost. I've no idea how i can do this ... lol
No idea on that too mate... I don't know how the template engine of that forum works...
However, if I were to guess, you could can try linking the wp-blog-header.php in the template index file..
According to SMF forum:
index this is the stuff around the main content that goes on every page.
Note: If you do try it out... pls DO NOT try it on a live site....
