I'd left the WP functions include line in the config file, back from when I was trying to integrate the WP head and footer (since just duplicated them in BB).

If you get this, maybe turn them back on so we can test it. As well, your blog took more like 8 seconds to load and your forum was really quick for me.

The main site is quite large, with the front page at about 200kB or something, but loads in about 5 seconds on my 2Mb connection (much of that waiting for Digg or YouTube, it seems). But when selecting topics on the forum it takes about 5 seconds again to load, where I'd expect it to take about a second, as it does here. After all, it's just a few kB compared to the main site.</p> <p>Thanks for investigating though, pravin - very much appreciated. :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-sluggishpermalinks-dont-work-in-ie-htaccess-issue#post-8111 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 16:43:23 +0000 pravin 8111@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Are you sure it is a .htaccess rewrite issue? Is your main site also sluggish? Your .htaccess file contains a *lot* less code than mine. And my site isn't exactly slow.</p> <p>I timed <a href="http://ochremusic.com/" rel="nofollow">http://ochremusic.com/</a> using my wristwatch. The main page takes 14 seconds to load. 6 seconds for the site to even begin loading. Clicking forums immediately took me 5 seconds for the page to load.</p> <p>That makes it 6 seconds for the DNS to resolve(?) 8 seconds for the main site and 5 seconds for the forums. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-sluggishpermalinks-dont-work-in-ie-htaccess-issue#post-8109 Sat, 16 Jun 2007 15:20:04 +0000 csl749 8109@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Anyone? I'd be very grateful for any insight. I'd hazard a guess that the root htaccess is causing probs for bb, but as it needs to be this way for WP (and to redirect old <a href="http://www." rel="nofollow">www.</a> traffic) is there anything I can reverse with another htaccess file in the forum subdir? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-sluggishpermalinks-dont-work-in-ie-htaccess-issue#post-8071 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 22:22:25 +0000 csl749 8071@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi folks,</p> <p>Just trying to iron out the niggles in my forum. I've noticed that <a href="http://ochremusic.com/forum">my forum</a> is very slow compared to the forum here, which seems surprising given my forum's lack of activity! Could it be related to the permalinks structure or .htaccess? I've tried setting the permalinks up in config, with multiview in the .htaccess, and while it works fine in FF (still slow though) it won't appear in IE (I get a 404). So I've disabled permalinks in order for it to work in IE.</p> <p>Now, some info. My forum is in a subdirectory from my main WordPress install. I had to enable the php5 handler in the site root .htaccess file for all the new bits and bobs in WP 2.2 to work properly. Here's what my root .htaccess file looks like:</p> <pre><code># BEGIN WordPress &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] &lt;/IfModule&gt; # END WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.ochremusic\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ <a href="http://ochremusic.com/$1" rel="nofollow">http://ochremusic.com/$1</a> [R=301,L] AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php</code></pre> <p>Would any of that inherited by the forum subdir cause any problems with the bbPress permalink structure, or cause speed issues? Tried optimising the db, but no difference.</p> <p>Any help on these issues would be very gratefully received, thanks.</p> <p>PS. Also, for some reason I get a 404 trying to validate the forum on W3. Clues as to why? :P (Sorry!) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-call-wp-functions-inside-bb-followed-docs-instructions#post-7285 Mon, 07 May 2007 14:54:49 +0000 csl749 7285@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Found the problem - I had to chmod wp-blog-header so it could be executed.

A path would be like the addresses you get when you're browsing folders on your computer.

But, following the instructions on the docs page on how to integrate WP functions so they can be called in BB, I get errors.</p> <p>I put the <code>require_once(&#39;www.mywebsite.com/wp-blog-header.php&#39;);</code> at the top of the BB config.php, in the hope that the WP functions would be discovered, but each time I try to add, say, a line to front-page.php like get_header or get_footer, to visually sandwich BB inside my WP header/footer, I get an error: </p> <p>Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_header() in /home/csleary/public_html/forum/my-templates/lemodie/front-page.php on line 1</p> <p>I'm very much a novice with all this, so I'm just following instructions at the moment hoping things will work. But as far as I can tell I've done everything correctly - please may someone offer some ideas as to what's going wrong? While searching other integration threads, I came across one that said to make sure WP was loaded first, so BB could then load the functions, but I don't know how to ensure this. BB is currently in siteroot/forum, and wordpress is in the root dir itself.</p> <p>Any help would be fantastic, thanks. </p>
