ok i need to ask some question before installation...

1- my forum is in main directory not in /forum ... and i want wp make my home page...
do i need to move my forum into other directory like www.abc.com/forum ... or is it possible if i install both in main directory ....????

2- it says if some 1 post an article to WP it will create a new thread on forums ... i actually dun need that ... but what i need is .. if some1 created a new thread on forum and it will post the same thing on WP ... does it do that ?

3- after installation, i can use custom theme and plugins riht ???

Thanks i will be waiting for ur reply ...

You would have to move the forum if you want Wordpress to be your front page.

No it does not.

Right..

Well it seems something else was causing it to break, it works now :) And the scroll box is fixed too oddly.

Oddly i found this code on my template:

I removed it since i believe that's the work of a hacker but what does it do?

Also how would I have it so that I have two domains both on the same server in which one of the domains has a separate wordpress db then the other domains has both the forum and wordpress. I'm sure it can be done just need to know how to make seperate wp and vb db's work together. I didn't understand the post you gave me earlier about that too much.

It looks like it is downloading and executing a remote script. It also looks like you have your WP templates set as writeable (i.e. chmod 777) and I would suggest against that. Chances are, however you are being hacked, the hacker is writing something to the template file then calling it.

You don't do anything special if you want to use one database or two. It matters not. You configure the script the same way using two separate databases or using one.

How can I get the latest posts on the wordpress page without installing maggypie rss stuff ?

I get weird characters when posting from wordpress to the forum. I tried changing the forum to UTF-8, but that made weird characters on all my posts. I also tried changing the wordpress from utf-8 to the suggested options, but then I got weird characters all over wordpress :P

Love the bridge, Jafo232.

But you know what would make this even better? Support for vB phrases... unless it does that already and it's just not working for me...

The reason I say this is because I'm finding it hard to make my vB login and userbox script work in Wordpress. I could settle for a simple one where it just displays the persons name and the logout button since the bridge allows that much, but I want to go all the way and mimic vB by showing how many PMs they have and their last visit and all that kinda jazz.

dont worry im being thick

for those of you who messed up the installation of this mod and "lost wp admin rights"
this is what you do to fix wordpress.

If you screwed up the installation of vbullentin bridge and recive a permission error when loging in to your wordpress dashboard do the following.

• login to you myphpadmin,
• select your wordpress database,
• select table: wp_usermeta,
• select browse
• edit u_metaid 3
• set the metavalue to a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}
• select go

Looks like I ain't the only one who got a similar problem. :D

Except that the whole hacking part, that is. The whole making files "writable" making it easy for hackers to get through your site.....just wrong.

I am now considering holding off a VB with Wordpress integration at this point until I find a better solution.
