Hi guys
So this is the setup I have:
Wordpress site: site.com
SMF forum: site.com/forum
Just trying to get a "Hello <username>" to display on the Wordpress site's homepage with username being filled in from the SMF forum. Not looking to integrate logins or databases here, just want to display the text plainly.
Using SSI.php on a plain PHP file, eg: site.com/test.php I am able to get the welcome message correctly (if I am logged in on the forum, it shows the username, if not shows the login link) but when I put the same code to the Wordpress site it always shows me as a guest. I have tried everything available to no avail. What am I doing wrong.
Appreciate the help.
What is the code you are using right now exactly? I know WP and SMF don't always like to play nice together, but I'd think what you are trying to do should be fairly easy to achieve.

Thank you for the reply. Using the same code on both the Wordpress page and the PHP page test.php:
require("/var/www/html/site/forum/SSI.php");
ssi_welcome();
On the Wordpress page it only shows up as a guest regardless of being logged in on the SMF forum, on the test.php it shows up correctly.
are you running the test.php file from the same location as the wordpress install?
you are going to have issues.... there are known collisions between SMF and wordpress variable names.
however, in SMF
turn ON subdomain independent cookies
turn OFF local cookies
But then he has to change the address of the forum, right? From site.com/forum to forum.site.com ???.
nope. it should work either way.
Mhm, got it... it's a general setting for the script. It works regardless of what's the address of the forum, right?
as long as it is on your domain.
Hi, im sorry for late raply but i have same issue.
My forum : site.com/forum
Wordpress : site.com/portal
I have a test file in wordpress directory and work succesful, but when i try to same code in my header file doesnt work. Actually it's work, but same result everytime even if you are logged in ( Hi Guest, please login or register ) Can anyone help me ?
Test file is :
<?php require("/home/lhrg/public_html/forum/SSI.php"); ?>
<div><?php ssi_welcome(); ?></div>
do you have subdomain independent cookies enabled or disabled? since it is not working switch that to the other and see if that fixes it.
I dont use subdomain and Wordpress cache enable and smf cache enable
it does not matter if you do or not, try it anyway, it can solve the issue.

You will need to, without it SMF cookies will be bound to the forum folder exclusively and not available to the WP folder.
