# MySQL Numrows error when combining scripts

 * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mysql-numrows-error-when-combining-scripts/)
 * I use a script from [http://www.codegrrl.com](http://www.codegrrl.com) called
   flinx. I have integrated it into my wordpress using the following tag at the 
   top of my page:
 * `
    <?php require('/home/username/public_html/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?
   > <?php get_header(); ?>
 * that code integrates the layout. however when i go to a category in the flinx
   collective, such as
 * [http://www.fractured-beauty.net/flinx/category.php?id=6](http://www.fractured-beauty.net/flinx/category.php?id=6)
 * i get this error:
 * Warning: mysql_numrows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource
   in /home/fbeauty/public_html/flinx/category.php on line 37
 * and a few others. i have done what i was told by [http://codegrrl.com/faq/scripts_flinx_troubles/mysql_numrows_error_when_combining_scripts.php](http://codegrrl.com/faq/scripts_flinx_troubles/mysql_numrows_error_when_combining_scripts.php)
   by adding all of the correct absolute paths to any other includes given but i
   keep getting the error.
 * the error goes away when i delete the first tag that includes wordpress (which
   pretty much defeats the entire purpose of integrating…) maybe it is something
   in wp-blog-header. if so, then what is it? my wp-blog-header.php is the same 
   as it was when i downloaded it.
 * here is the complete code for category.php (the file causing the errors):
 * `
    <?php require('/home/fbeauty/public_html/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); ?
   > <?php get_header(); ?>

 * note: this error only appeared AFTER I upgraded from 1.5 to 1.5.2, maybe that’s
   the problem?

 * What is “flinx” I cannot find on the site linked by you – maybe you could provide
   a direct link.
    However, I’ve found this: [http://codegrrl.com/scripts/](http://codegrrl.com/scripts/)

 * OK, so it’s a third-party script and we don’t offer support for it in this forum.
   The author has a support forum [http://codegrrl.com/forums/](http://codegrrl.com/forums/)
 * p.s. Please, do not post long code in the forum. Use [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com)
