 * Alright, so I found a post which allowed me to do SOME post integration wordpress-
   >punbb where if I posted something on wordpress it would then post it on to the
   forums.
 * This is the code I’m using for the posting part
 *     ```
       function punbb_publish_post($id)
           {
           global $wpdb;
           $wppost = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_date, post_title, post_content FROM ".$wpdb->posts." WHERE ID = ".$id." LIMIT 1");
           /* Check if edited or new */
           $wppost_check = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT id, topic_id FROM ".PUNPREFIX."posts WHERE user = 'Neteyes' AND posted = ".strtotime($wppost->post_date));
           if($wppost_check)
           {
   
           $wpdb->query("UPDATE ".PUNPREFIX."topics SET subject = '".$wppost->post_title."' WHERE id = ".$wppost_check->topic_id);
           $wpdb->query("UPDATE ".PUNPREFIX."posts SET message = '".$wppost->post_content."' WHERE id = ".$wppost_check->id);
   
           }
           /*If New */
           else {
           $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO ".PUNPREFIX."topics (user, subject, posted, last_post, last_poster, forum_id) VALUES(
           'Neteyes',
           '".$wppost->post_title."',
           ".strtotime($wppost->post_date).",
           ".strtotime($wppost->post_date).",
           'Neteyes',
           1)");
           $topic_id = $wpdb->insert_id;
   
           $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO ".PUNPREFIX."posts (user, user_id, message, posted, topic_id, poster_ip) VALUES(
           'Neteyes',
           2,
           '".$wppost->post_content."',
           ".strtotime($wppost->post_date).",
           ".$topic_id.",
           '192.168.0.1'
           )");
           $post_id = $wpdb->insert_id;
   
           $wpdb->query("UPDATE ".PUNPREFIX."topics SET last_post_id = ".$post_id.", first_post_id = ".$post_id." WHERE id = ".$topic_id);
           $wpdb->query("UPDATE ".PUNPREFIX."forums SET last_post = ".strtotime($wppost->post_date).", last_post_id = ".$post_id.", last_poster = 'Neteyes' WHERE id = 1");
           $punbb_postnumber = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT num_posts, username FROM ".PUNPREFIX."users WHERE username = 'Neteyes' LIMIT 1");
           $wpdb->query("UPDATE ".PUNPREFIX."users SET num_posts = ".$punbb_postnumber->num_posts."+1 WHERE username = 'Neteyes'");
   
           /* Puts a Link to the forum topic in the post */
           $wp_add = "<p>Diskutiere <a href=\"/\" title=\"Link zum Topic im Forum\">hier. -></a></p>";
           $wp_content = $wppost->post_content.$wp_add;
           }
           }
       ```
   
 * The thing is it’s not giving me any errors but it’s not posting anything on the
   forums either.
 * I added the
 * > `do_action('punbb_publish_post', $id, $post);`
 *  below
 * > do_action(‘edit_post’, $post_id, $post);
   >  do_action(‘save_post’, $post_id, 
   > $post); do_action(‘wp_insert_post’, $post_id, $post);
 *  again, I’m not sure if the variables there are totally correct but it’s not 
   giving me any errors.
 * The file I’m editing is wp-includes/post.php
    I also have these rows at the top
   of the post.php
 *     ```
       define('PUNPATH', '../punbb'); // path to punbb folder
         define('FORUM_ROOT', '../punbb'); // path to punbb folder
       define('PUNPREFIX', 'pun_'); // punBB table prefix
       ```
   
 * This script is also from PunBB 1.3 so it’s probably somewhat outdated.
    I can
   probably tell you what the problem is, the $user_id variables and the $id and
   $post_id, the thing is, I think these variables are supposed to come from the
   punbb functions (i just got the script off a forum) but when I call the function
   by
 * > `require FORUM_ROOT.'include/common.php';`
 *  I’m getting alot of errors in the form of
 * >  `Warning: require(../punbb/include/common.php) [function.require]: failed 
   > to open stream: No such file or directory in /storage/content/48/134348/projekt.*********.
   > se/public_html/wp-includes/post.php on line 22``
