PageLines Vanilla

Vanilla is a light weight Internet forum package. It is written in PHP and runs smoothly along with your WordPress website. With PageLines Integrations, it's easier than ever to match your Vanilla forum's appearance with the PageLines 2.0 theme. For more information on Vanilla, go to the Vanilla forums website

Install the PageLines/Vanilla Integration

From your WordPress Administration Panel:

  1. Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Store"
  2. Select the "Integrations" tab
  3. Click the "Download" PageLines Vanilla button
    • The "Download" button will only be available to those who have a Developer Edition license

You will download a ZIP file named "pagelines-integration-vanilla.zip" This is file contains everything you need to sync your existing Vanilla installation with the PageLines 2.0 theme.

  1. Extract the ZIP file & copy the "pagelines-integration-vanilla" folder into the Vanilla Themes folder
  2. Navigate to your Vanilla settings page to see the PageLines theme listed. (must be logged in as an administrator)
    • Vanilla Home Page=>Dashboard=>Themes
  3. Click "Apply" next to the PageLines Vanilla Theme
  4. Click "Visit Site"

You should now see your Vanilla forum completely in sync with PageLines 2.0! If for some reason the linking process fails, refer to the README.txt file inside the pagelines-integration-folder for information on linking "wp-load.php

Activate the PageLines/Vanilla Special Page

Now that you've added the PageLines 2.0 theme to your forum, you must now add it to your Special Pages for further customization.

  2. Click the "Activate" PageLines Vanilla button
  3. Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Special"
