 * Hi,
 * This has been driving me crazy for the last 3 days now and I’m lost in what to
   do next. I am wanting the header file of my wordpress theme to become the header
   file of the phpbb3 forum. I want it to be called dynamically if possible so if
   the links change, I don’t have to manually update it each time. At the top of
   my over_header.html (of which I have php enabled for) for phpbb, I have tried
   this
 *     ```
       <!-- PHP --> 
   
       define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
       require('../wordpress/wp-load.php');
       get_header();
       <!-- ENDPHP -->
       ```
   
 * I read you can call require(‘/wp-blog-header.php’); , instead of wp-load.php,
   but since the 2.6 version its more accurate to call wp-load.
 * HOWEVER, in both instances of calling EITHER pages it redirects my from my current
   directory to wp-admin/install.php
 * Even though WordPress is correctly setup and running and installed it still seems
   to redirect me when i load the forum then. If I remove it it is fine, so it is
   definitely that line.
 * Best Regards, Chris
