Hi,

I'm trying to integrate Vanilla into my Wordpress theme.

I've followed the instructions from Il Filosofo:
-----------
First, you need to include the WordPress files. A good place to do this is at the bottom of the Vanilla conf/database.php file, where you should put
<?php require_once('../wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
(of course make sure that’s the path to wp-blog-header.php–yours may be in a different directory).

Second, you need to re-connect WordPress to the database, because Vanilla will close the connection early. Edit Vanilla’s library/Framework/Framework.Class.MySQL.php file, adding the two lines in boldface to this section near the top of the file:

class MySQL extends Database {
function CloseConnection() {
if ($this->Connection) @mysql_close($this->Connection);
global $wpdb;
$wpdb = new wpdb(DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, DB_HOST);
}

That’s it! Now you can use WordPress functions, such as get_header(), in the Vanilla theme.
--------------------

However, those changes mean that I can't enable/disable my extensions. It comes up with an Alert box that says... nothing! anyone have any idea how to solve this?
