I am trying to integrate Wordpress with Question2Answer so that they both use the same database for users. The instructions for doing this are pretty straight-forward. All I need to do is define the directory for my Wordpress installation in the Question2Answer config file. Unfortunately, no matter how I define the path to the Wordpress directory, I get a 500 error.
The urls for the installations are:
Wordpress: http://stage.example.com
Question2Answer: http://stage.example.com/ask
The directory structure is
Wordpress: public_html/stage
Question2Answer: public_html/stage/ask
Definition:
define('QA_WORDPRESS_INTEGRATE_PATH', '../');
I've tried 100 different ways to define the path to the Wordpress directory in my Question2Answer config file and I keep getting a 500 error. I'm fairly certain that I am defining the path to the directory correctly so I think it must be some sort of permissions or .htaccess problem but I'm not sure what it could be. Any ideas?
Here is the error:
PHP Question2Answer fatal error: Could not find wp-load.php file for WordPress integration - please check QA_WORDPRESS_INTEGRATE_PATH in qa-config.php
This might be silly, but keep in mind that the whole define('QA_WORDPRESS_INTEGRATE_PATH', '/PATH/WORDPRESS/'); is in a comment line. So you have to put the */ before the define line.
I was also struggling a lot, until I saw this post
