Wordpress Connect

[zocster]

Hi. Thank you again for your reply but I guess those are just links for runkit and I don't find any detailed instructions from that link. I just recently upgraded to VPS and new to these things including WHM and SSH. But I need to have idea how to install and use this stuff without approaching my host who enjoying holidays at this time.

Regards,
Z

Installation depends on your operating system. It's much different on windows then on lunix for example. I can not give much advice here but there are a lot of tutorials on how to install php extensions. You might want to start here:

Finally! I was able to install runkit after doing some deep research! So, I'm going to share my experience to you and to those who are willing to know especially new members from this forum.  

Okay, here we go,

1. Download and run Putty.exe (SSH) link
2. Login to your server either root or cpanel.

Code:

You are not allowed to see code.

If accessing 'root' doesn't work for you, try typing the command once you entered as cpanel user
"sudo su -"

3. Now, you are logged as 'root'. We are now able to install runkit inside SSH. Just type the following below:

Code:

You are not allowed to see code.

Then, add this to php.ini:
extension=runkit.so

Restart your Apache server
service httpd restart

That's it! Now, run a test if everything is fine via

Cheers!

Update! "Critical error: Wordpress Connect path is invalid!" is still showing up upon new user registration

I did a clean install for WordPress and MyBB. I've also install the plugin "wordpressconnect.php" in forum root folder. After activating plugin, I set the relative path to "../zoc/" wherein WP was installed. For myBB, its "forums". Did I miss something ?


Update!!
Edit:

Okay, just woke up this morning I had my coffee and some crispy bacons on cheese. After that, I gave it another shot and Voila! I didn't get any critical WordPress error anymore! Maybe, it need the runkit to propagate from the server before you could make MyBB and WordPress sync its user.

does this have to be installed to the same database?

[sn4g]

my forums is the root of my server so its www.website.com/index.php is mybb and www.website.com/news/ is the wordpress

No, it doesn't need to.

Okay, here's another one I got

"Fatal error: Call to a member function set_prefix() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/domain/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-settings.php on line 196"

It happens after I remove wordpress folder under WordPress General Settings - Home URL.
Before http://domain.com/wordpress After: http://domain.com/

Then modified the index.php, added wordpress folder "'/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'". And upload it on domain root. Also, htaccess on root is modified for this to work.

I've been doing this a lot on WordPress, so my visitors wouldn't have to type the whole thing. Okay, so the problem here it didn't connect to WordPress, I tried changing the relative path but still no luck. Is there something to add or replace on wordpressconnect.php file ?

Thanks!


I tried editing wordpressconnect.php file, and added wordpress folder beside wp-load.php "wordpress/wp-load.php". It still doesn't work  




UPDATE! Fixed

This plugin won't work with WordPress Multisite, (yet).

does this have to be installed to the same database?

As zoctser said, the database does not matter here, my plugin is independent of the database used as it uses original functions

my forums is the root of my server so its www.website.com/index.php is mybb and www.website.com/news/ is the wordpress

Your wordpress path might be /news/ in this case.

Okay, here's another one I got

"Fatal error: Call to a member function set_prefix() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/domain/wordpress/wp-includes/ms-settings.php on line 196"

Hello zocster, does Multisite throws that error or some other config you did? I'm confused. The function itself should cause no issues as it's no MyBB function.
