Why won't the wordpress plugin work?

thecashbag

Hey,

I have the vanilla wordpress plugin installed but it won't bring up the forum.

I have vanilla installed here: http://expressmuscle.com/vanilla/ I have set the wordpress plugin to access the forum here: http://expressmuscle.com/forum/

But when I go to http://expressmuscle.com/forum/ nothing happens. It just brings up a blank page. I have also tried the embed code to embed it on that page, but it also doesn't work.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Ben

Where did you paste the embed code? The forum won't magically appear on your site :-) You'll need to make sure that you're pasting it in the "HTML" tab and not the other one (I never remember what it's called).

P.S.: If it still won't work, feel free to PM me with login details to both the forum and site so I can take a look.

Strange... Had to delete the page and make a new one for it to work :P It's all set now though! You may want to enable the embed.less file in VanillaBootstrap as well as remove the responsive.less call in bootstrap.less.

Thanks! I'm having trouble getting this to work on another site of mine too. What exactly did you do? Just deleted the page, then permanent delete, then add new with embed code?

Also could you give me any more info about how to "enable the embed.less file in VanillaBootstrap as well as remove the responsive.less call in bootstrap.less"? I'm not sure how to do this.

Yup, I just permantly deleted the page and created a new one.

You can find more info about the embed.less file here: https://github.com/kasperisager/VanillaBootstrap/blob/v1.1b-2.0/design/less/main.less#L12

The responsive.less call is made here: https://github.com/kasperisager/VanillaBootstrap/blob/v1.1b-2.0/design/less/bootstrap/bootstrap.less#L61
Simply delete both lines and you should be good to go.

All of the above involves editing the corresponding files in your own copy of the theme. If you need more help, just say the word!

Cool :) Did all the code changes fine (I think).

But I still cant get my other site to embed vanilla at all. I tried the permanent delete and new page, but no luck.

Do you think you could take a look when you get a spare second (sorry for taking up all your time)?

I'll PM you the login details

Thanks, Ben

it is loading for me, it is blank to start with. Also it is not embed friendly becuase the width is clipped.

kasperisager

I can't seem to make it work on your other site for some reason.

@kasperisager thanks for the help anyway.

@x00 the first site has been fixed (thanks to kasperisager) but I have another almost identical site that is also not working, and cannot seem to fix it. Also what do you mean by its not 'embed friendly'? Should I change the width? What size do you recommend?

Anyone else know why this site is not working: http://thecashlab.com/??

Keen to get this working asap :)

Thanks, Ben
