I'm trying to simply carry over my wordpress header and attach it to my forum header css but I can't seem to get it to look right.

Can anyone help me out? Any good ideas on how I can do this?

As you can see, the php code I'm using to pull the header information from wordpress is not correct. I'm not very proficient at CSS, so I may be grabbing the wrong parts of code.


Thanks!

    Hey buddy, I don't know what you've got going on with the back-end of the forum (so I might be slightly off-base here), buy you can't really carry a header over (as I assume the forum isn't generated within WordPress templates).

    You need to create a NEW header for your forum that looks exactly like the one in WordPress. You can have this done on Odesk for -$50, no problem.

    Make sure you get someone with decent HTML, CSS, and maybe some php skills.

      Currently I'm using a wordpress plugin which basically uses php to pull code snippets from specified areas and then reinserts them in the CSS of the other platform. Example:

      Anything between these two lines gets pulled.

      <?php blah blah code start 1>
      <?php blah blah code end 1>

      That code then gets pulled to an html document on my server. This html document is then included in the css of the new platform. with something like

      <?php include html1.html blah blah>

      Which places the extracted wordpress header into the CSS. Basically replicating it, as you are suggesting, automatically.

      I just can't seem to grab the proper code and/or place the include in the new css properly, for it to appear correctly.

    deep integration is easier if you know how to mess around with html & css.

    Integration plugin is solely needed for the purpose of generating bbPress admin side cookies when a user logs in from WordPress side. If you don't use it, everything will be fine, just you won't be able to access bbPress dashboard unless you login from bbPress side.
    but this clearly doesn't affect regular normal users as they don't have to access the dashboard, only you have to.
