WordPress Paths

  • Hello guys,
    i’m installing a new plugin to integrate IPBOard with WordPress.. but I have some problem understanding paths that I have to insert in some fields.

    My WordPress is installed on https://www.mysite.com instead my forum in https://www.mysite.com/forum

    I don’t understand difference between Path to WP and Blog Domain, and then, how can I find blog cookie domain? Is just the http to cookie folder?


    Path to WordPress    : Insert the serverside path to WordPress
    Blog-Domain: Insert the Domain of your WordPress Blog
    Blog Cookie Domain: Insert the Cookie-Domain for the blog. When the blog is on a subdomain, use the secondlevel domain, e.g. blog is on sub.domain.com, insert .domain.co

  • Path to WordPress: The absolute filesystem path to the root of the WordPress installation. Simplest way of finding out would be uploading a PHP script to the root directory of your WordPress installation, such as:
    <?php
    echo __FILE__;
    ?>
    Save the text above as file as path2wp.php and upload it to the root directory where WordPress is installed.
    Then on your browser type in the URL bar:
    https://www.mysite.com/path2wp.php (change if WordPress is installed in a subdirectory).

    Blog-Domain: mysite.com

    Blog Cookie Domain: mysite.com

    It gave me:

    /web/htdocs/www.mysite.com/home/path2wp.php

    Good ??

    so blog domain and blog cookie doesn’t need /web/ht…?

    That’s correct
