Integrate your vBulletin forum with Wordpress.

The lite version of this Wordpress vBulletin bridge allows your Wordpress posts to be posted to vBulletin.

This is a Wordpress plugin that facilitates this functionality. Just install it in your WP plugin folder and set up the path to your vBulletin installation. As long as the forum is on the same server, this works well.

No need to combine the databases. No need to modify core WP files.

It's that easy!

All of your Wordpress posts will be posted in your forum. You will designate a forum to take these posts. If you have sub forums that match the name of the category of the Wordpress post, this plugin will automatically put the post there.

The full version, available at wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com// (http://wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com/) allows more functionality to fully integrate your Wordpress and vBulletin including:

Wordpress->vB features:

*Registration sync - new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
*New post sync - new WP posts are intelligently posted to the matching forum. There are some controls on which forum they are posted to.
Options:
- Posts can be attributed to the user posting or
- All posts can be attributed to a designated user
*Comment sync - new comments made on WP are posted to the synced forum
*Login sync - when you login or logout of WP, the vB session is created or destroyed at the same time
*Avatar sync - vBulletin avatars are used on WP comments (requires user-photo WP plugin)

*No modification of core WP files!
*No modification of WP config file!
*100% plugin setting based - install the plugin, set your forum path, activate the features you want, enjoy!


vBulletin ->Wordpress features *NEW*

*Registration sync - new users created on vB are automatically created on WP
*New thread sync - new vB threads are intelligently posted to the matching WP category.
Options:
- Only post to designated category
- Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then post to the designated category if no match is found.
- Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then create a new WP category
*Reply sync - replies made to synced threads will have replies posted to the matching WP post
*Login sync - when you login or logout of vB, the WP session is created or destroyed at the same time

*No modification of core vB files!
*No modification of vB config file!
*100% plugin based - this plugin will create the vB plugins needed through the WP plugin settings page!


This is still a work in progress so the code will be updated often.

Feel free to let me know how it works, additional features you'd like, and if you have any problems.

Here is a guide from a user:
Thanks a bunch for putting this together BAJR
Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration


Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)


1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /


2) Activate login sync feature [check box]


3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6


5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.



6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add


7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1



8) SAVE CHANGES...

This plugin seems to have everything I need but only in one direction (correct me if I'm wrong). How can I achieve two-way syncing of comments, users, and login? For example, I would like it if logging in/registering on the forum also means logging in/registering on WP. Also, replying to the forum thread creates a new comment on WP.

Does the formatting that you can do in wordpress transfer over to vBulletin? The example post you have linked doesn't show any formatting or any images in the post. I'm curious to see how a fully formatted post in word press would appear in vbulletin.

Yes, it works with html only if the receiving forum is set to accept html.

You can see it in action on this site:

Hello,

I can't get the posts to post into sub forums at all. I have the name of my word press category matching the name of the subforum but it doesn't place the post at all. Uncategorized posts will go into the vBulletin forum I have designated but categorized posts will not go to vBulletin at all. Is there a setting I'm neglecting perhaps?

That fixed it. Great work you are doing on this plug in. I really hate the native CMS system on vBulletin and this allows me to use wordpress as a substitute. Thanks!!

Also I thought I would mention there is a way to make sure that WordPress's ability to left or right float images in the articles also works in the vBulletin posts as well. You just have to add a few CSS styles from word press into your additional css style sheet on vBulletin. Not sure if anyone would find that useful but I thought I would mention it in case someone does.

Glad to hear that worked.
As for the float, in theory, if you use the theme unification method, the WP CSS will be on all vB pages and should have the same formatting.

Sorry, just want to be clear with the sync of the comments.

Once a thread is posted on the forums from wordpress. Does any comment on the vbulletin thread get pulled into the wordpress system? Or is it just wordpress to vbulletin?

Ok, I can do this pretty easily I think.
The issue is that there are so many options....

Should all users' threads be posted to WP? Only users who have access to post? Where should they go?

This is going to be a project......

ZGeek
04-10-2013, 06:51 AM
Good to hear!

I think you are 50% there already. The post and comments come from wordpress no worries, but it then needs to monitor the thread and pull any new posts from there into the wordpress. Not sure how much work that is.

The way I would set it up on my site is to have a dedicated forum for all the threads (wordpress articles) and the comments show both on the thread and in WP.

That forum itself, threads can only be created by wordpress posts.

Hope that helps in some way. I tend to talk a lot of sh1t.

obscureclouddon
04-10-2013, 07:06 AM
That's helpful.
So you'd really only need the comments (vb replys) synced then....

I've got a good start on it. It is a lot of work to make sure it is easy to use.

How about in the other direction?

Registration syncing - new vB users are automatically created in WP.
Single login - login in to vB and automatically be logged into WP.

obscureclouddon
04-13-2013, 12:49 AM
It's done.
I'm going to put it on the server, test it out there again and then it'll be ready to have.

Here are the features I got in it (this is the full version available on my site linked above, the lite version available here is staying the same for now):

Wordpress->vB features are the same:
*Registration sync - new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
*New post sync - new WP posts are intelligently posted to the matching forum. There are some controls on which forum they are posted to.
Options:
- Posts can be attributed to the user posting or
- All posts can be attributed to a designated user
*Comment sync - new comments made on WP are posted to the synced forum
*Login sync - when you login or logout of WP, the vB session is created or destroyed at the same time
*Avatar sync - vBulletin avatars are used on WP comments (requires user-photo WP plugin)

*No modification of core WP files!
*No modification of WP config file!
*100% plugin setting based - install the plugin, set your forum path, activate the features you want, enjoy!


vBulletin ->Wordpress features *NEW*
*Registration sync - new users created on vB are automatically created on WP
*New thread sync - new vB threads are intelligently posted to the matching WP category.
Options:
- Only post to designated category
- Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then post to the designated category if no match is found.
- Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then create a new WP category
*Reply sync - replies made to synced threads will have replies posted to the matching WP post
*Login sync - when you login or logout of vB, the WP session is created or destroyed at the same time

*No modification of core vB files!
*No modification of vB config file!
*100% plugin based - this plugin will create the vB plugins needed through the WP plugin settings page!

Hiya,

I've noticed that on some posts I do, when they show up on vubulletin there are some weird character coding problems. I back slashes instead of quotation marks in the title and I very often get these characters mixed throughout the text of the post: Â*

I thought maybe it was that the word press database needed to be converted to UTF 8 but that hasn't helped. Is there anything I can do to correct this problem?

There is a tool to create vB users out of the existing WP users. If you need the other way around, I can probably get that in there now that it syncs both ways.

Great plugin (I hope) and full version purchased. However I am having a problem. I set it up all OK, added the forum id for the WP post to appear but nothing is posting when I add a new WP post.

I have no error messages or anything with the plugin so not sure why this is not working. Any help?

Note I have the DB stored on a remote server, not that it should make any difference really.

Wow, boy I could have used this a few times in the past. I will check out the pro version for price and branding .. :)

I am curious about something..while the price seems fair I am confused as to why it costs $600 to install and that does not even include the plug in cost. I am hoping this was a typo because if it is that difficult to set up I will skip it.:eek: Hopefully you added an extra zero by accident..

Great though! I am sure I will purchase this in the future depending on branding.

1. If that is what you need, I will make sure that works. The user sync feature needs some work. I just needed a push to do it :)

2. The lite version only syncs the posts from WP to vB.
The full version syncs logins, registrations, new posts, new comments, and vB avatars from vB o WP and/or WP to vB.

The $600 is for the theme unification (I am not charging $600 to install a WP plugin!). That process is custom to each site. It is not a typo. It's a lot of work. I did change the site to say it comes with the plugin.

If help is needed installing the plugin or getting it to work, I've been very responsive on that front (sorry zgeek, doing it now). I've downloaded entire sites locally to track down odd bugs, helped install and configure (so i can make the set easier) and whatever else I need to do to support this plugin (at no additional charge).

Just a heads-up to everyone, obscureclouddon fixed my issue which was due to the VB database having a prefix on tables.

Fixes are in. Updates are done.
Now the user sync works really well.

Oh, and the price has been lowered.
Enjoy.

Wow this is actually really great! Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. (Will be purchasing this in the next couple of days most likely)

Just had a couple quick questions for you though. Are you going to continue to improve and give updates to this and also is it working on the new vb 4.2.1?

Also does this sync with already registered vb users on my forum or will they have to create a new account on wp with it?

Thanks!

I do not anticipate any issues with 4.2.1

There is a nice sync utility that will automatically sync or create all the users it needs to sync the two systems up.
Basically it goes through all WP users, tries to match them with an existing vB user. If it can't, it makes a new vB account and syncs it.
Then it goes through all the left over vB users and does the same - tries to find a matching WP user and if not, makes a new WP acct automatically.

It's pretty sweet if i don't say so myself.

In the options, am I able to turn off all of the post syncing and just use the registration and user synch only?

I'm in the process of designing a new front page for my forum that will be done in WP. I want my vBulletin users (existing) to be able to comment on WP articles. If they're logged into vBulletin, I want them to automatically be logged into WP and visa versa - like an SSO only of sorts.

Am I able to adjust the settings in admincp to just allow for the vB>WP and WP>vb login feature?

Yes. You can use the registration and login sync without using the post sync.
There are three ways it will work:
Disable WP login and registration. Logging into vB will allow access to WP as well.
Disable vB login and registration. Logging into WP will allow access to vB as well.
Leave them both available. Logging in or registering in one, will handle the other.

1. Will the normal commenting system of wordpress work after installing the plugin ? -or- can it be enabled again if your plugin disables it? I want guests to post comments using their email and name in addition to VB users being able to post comments in WP using their forum(VB) account.

2. I don't want users to create account or manage their profiles on WP - since this might be a serious threat to us. We need Profile creation and management via VB only. Is is possible?

3. On WP we don't want any link containing "/wp-admin/" or "/wp-login.php" since direct access to them have been disabled permanently on our servers for security.

4. We have VBSEO installed on our forums ... will your plugin work in this case ?

5. In regards to Vbulletin->WP : Does this plugin automatically create new WP accounts for all existing forum accounts ?

5. In regards to Vbulletin->WP : Does this plugin automatically create new WP accounts for all existing forum accounts ?

Thanks,
1.) The plugin does not change anything about the core of Wordpress. It uses the built in hooks to ADD functionality. The comment system will still work as it has. What the plugin does is takes those comments and if there is a vB thread synced to the WP post being commented on, it will also post the comment on vB. I literally just finished working with another customer to get it to work as you described. Now, if a guest (not logged into WP or vB) posts a comment on WP, it will sync that to vB as well using the name put into the WP comment form.

2.) You do not have to utilize the registration sync feature. It as been designed to be flexible enough to work without synced user accounts. So you can continue to only have user account created and managed in the way your site already works.

3.) The plugin does not add any administrative links. You will have to access the WP dashboard to configure the plugin settings from an admin account, but there is nothing for users there.

4.) I do not know of any conflicts with VBSEO. If any arise, I'll be happy to fix them as that is a pretty popular plugin.

5.) If you choose to sync the users, yes. You do not have to.

The files go into the Wordpress plugins folder so has nothing to do with vBulletin directly. This is a WP to VB integration not VB to WP (that I am aware of).

I have zero issues with speed on his site but also VB4 is more or less a resource pig to begin with so less then ideal hosting will always show. I run his pro version and am quite impressed with what it does and hope the development continues.

His Header Navigation menu has NOTHING to do with this plugin. This is coded most likely into the header template of his VB site.

Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration


Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)


1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /


2) Activate login sync feature [check box]


3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6


5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.



6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add


7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1



8) SAVE CHANGES...


Good to go!

Look, this is like a carpenter who has half built walls in his house, or a plumber with a leaky faucet.
I'm not really going to spend much time optimizing the site. I prefer to spend my time helping customers get their systems up and going (as you can see from comments from people I've helped in this thread) and adding features to the plugin. I have a full time job and have not made even close to what I've put into this. If the site sucks, so be it. If you question my support or whether the plugin will work, just ask anyone who has purchased it. I'd be happy to spend my time helping you get your site to where you want it over worrying about nav bar links on my site that's only purpose is to process payments and downloads.

Thanks to everyone who has said nice things about the plugin and my efforts to support it!

edit_ after hitting the button several times I am up to 21.000 users now, let's see how that goes.

I'm glad you got the character issue worked out.

As for the user sync, it is a pretty heavy process. I tested on a site with 15k users and it took about 20 minutes. However, i did set it up so that you can re run it like you did.
The way it works is first going through all WP users and seeing if there is a match in vb. For each match, it syncs them. Then it goes through all of the vb users that were not synced and looks for a a match in WP and syncs the ones that it finds.
Then it goes through all of the WP users that were not matched and created a vb user for them and syncs it.
Then it goes through all of the vb users that didn't have a match and does the same (creates a wp user, and syncs it)
If the script times out, it will pick up where it left off next time you run it as it ignores users that are already synced. But it will take longer with each pass.
If you have a lot of vb users, the query that gets unsynced users does take a long time.
I plan on optimizing this as soon as I get some of the more critical issues worked out.

As additional Question: Does syncing work with scheduled wordpress posts, too?

Custom prefixes should not be a problem at all. The plugin loads WP and vB just like the browser does. It pulls the db data from the config files.

As for scheduled posts, currently they do not sync. That is going to be the next thing i address along with syncing changes from vb thread/comment edits.

I'll take a look at the vb->wp user sync. I've heard a few issues there.

As for the cat->forum, it should work that way now with a bit coordination. Right now, you define a parent forum id for WP posts to go into. The plugin will automatically look for sub forum names (o the parent you supplied) that match the WP category name of the post and put them there.

This mod is perhaps the greatest vb wp mod ever! certainly breaths a new life into vbulletin forums wanting a wp frontpage. And you manage to make the both platform communicate in more than just users and posts! insane.

Duplicate Content:
With the post and replies being synced on both platforms, will that create duplicate content that is unhealthy for google search? May i ask how best to take advantage of this awesome feature?

Honestly, my opinion is this: Google wants the rank sites high that are built for the user experience. I do not think that this is much different than the same content being available through a different url in rss format.
While i cannot speak for how their algorithm works, i do not see how this would ding your site under the guidelines of making the site for the user.

- The Avatar is not working, because i cant activate it in menu. i changed the storeage and installed the user photo plugin.

- Is there a way to post only an excerpt to forum and not the whole text with a "Read more..." Text?

- What is very bad is, that the comments made in forum are not transferred to wordpress. This is very strange.

Is that possible? if yes then i am ready to purchase the plugin.

Thanks for all of the support thus far.

Sorry for the absence. I've had a very busy past few weeks. I took some time off to travel with the family. Sorry to keep anyone waiting. While I try to check here for support requests as often as possible, the best way is always via email to ensure a timely response.

I will address all of the concerns above.

But in the mean time, here is what I've been working on:

First, many have asked to have the forum url added to the wordpress theme. here is how to accomplish this -
add this code to your wordpress theme file where you want the link to the vb thread

$vb_thread_id = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), "vb_thread_id", TRUE );
$options = get_option('osc_wpvb_options');
$forum_path = $options['vb_path'];
$home_path = get_option( "home" );
$vb_thread_link = $home_path . $forum_path . "showthread.php/" . $vb_thread_id;
$title_link = isset($vb_thread_id) && $vb_thread_id != "" ? $vb_thread_link : get_permalink();

then use the variable $title_link where you want the link to the vb thread to show up in your WP theme. it will use the permalink if there is no synced thread.
also, this will only work in the loop.

Secondly, I have just about finished porting the plugin to vB5. This should be ready tomorrow. Due to the way they gutted vB5, it will only work from WP->vB. The reason is that there are no hooks to trigger things in vB5. I will work on a solution. It will go one of two ways: either vB gets an update with some hook mechanisms, or I will do it by modding the core files.

Lastly, the other thing that keeps getting requested is to have the plugin post only the excerpt from WP. I will work on an option for this in the next update.

Additional note: the avatar sync feature seems to be broken. I will get that in the next update.

Now to the support requests.......

what should i do?

This issue is usually due to not having the forum path correct.
If your WP is the domain root and the forum is in a subfolder there, the correct forum path would be
/forum/

Let me know if this doesn't fix it.

It does look like the developer may have gotten in over his head. Not responding, and to have bailed out on those that have requested his help is pathetic. I have came close a couple of times with investing into the pro version. But it's good that I didn't otherwise I be just like the others on here that have been ignored. Nobody likes being in limbo.

Sorry to ask you something that may be answered in the first post but I want to make sure.

I have a WP site and a vB4 forum and:
- I want both user databases to be in sync (when someone on the forum registers, it will make a WP username with the same name).
- In the WP I have a news section where people can comment (with regular WP comments). I want the comments to be replicated both ways: when someone posts in WP, it'll be posted automatically on vB on the corresponding thread. When someone goes to the corresponding thread and posts there, a comment will be made on the WP news post.
- I also have pages in WP, I want the same both-way comment functionality.

Will the Pro version allow this? I'm using the Spanish version of Wordpress (http://es.wordpress.org), will this be an issue? Thanks.

We are currently using it on a test site, which is running Wordpress 3.6.1 and 4.2.1, I'm going to mainly use it for the members.

I can tell you that I have done the members sync and that worked, I have not tested the post/threads integration and don't have any plans to.

We haven't gone live with it yet since we are working on some other things first.

However, I want to make sure that other folks here have this plugin and that it is working correctly with vBulletin 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 and at least PHP version 5.3.x.

Can anyone at least respond here and let me know that they have it up and running without any issues with the setup I listed above??

why must there always money with their minds?

I think the English language eludes you at this point...Ok, granted, your ability with the English language eludes ME...

Try looking up words like 'context' for example.. I mean, to begin with..

I have a video web site that currently uses a crappy bridge between the video software and vBulletin.

I am seriously considering converting to WordPress with a video theme - and purchasing the professional version of this plugin.

However, I want to make sure that other folks here have this plugin and that it is working correctly with vBulletin 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 and at least PHP version 5.3.x.

Can anyone at least respond here and let me know that they have it up and running without any issues with the setup I listed above??

While it may not be as helpful coming from me, i would be happy to point you to some sites that are using my plugin. Aside from the stupid error that just popped up from a WP plugin update, you can also see it in action at its website.

Thanks.

The duplicate content was our concern as well and, in fact, has kept us from using this. To the author, if you could change the software so that it created a post in vBulletin using say, just the opening para from the main article, it would be much more acceptable to Google.

Our goal is to post articles from the main site and then to have people visit the forums for detailed conversation on the articles...

Hi, thank you for plugin. But wordpress db set is utf-8, vbulletin db set is iso 8859-9 and some special characters corrupted when i post the article.

Any idea?

Am very interested in this plugin as the vBulletin CMS is woeful.

I am primarily interested in integrating forum content into a Wordpress CMS.

Can you easily incorporate content such as forum login box, forum statistics, who's online, recently updated threads, new threads etc. into a Wordpress based CMS?

This plugin does integrate forum content into Wordpress very well.

It does not have options for who's online and that stuff. There are other WP plugins that do that part.

Ya the duplicate content is too much of an issue with Google and they are very open to allowing an introductory para and link. Once this is amended, we will be all over this, as will a ton of websites that I know alone.

So i think i can do some of this pretty easily.

Tell me exactly how you think it should work.
What I'm thinking is an option that says "Use excerpt instead of full article text" when posting to vb.

Thoughts?

TheSSDReview
11-10-2013, 08:54 PM
Yes that option should work fine and just include the first para or the first few lines with a '...' at the end.

After that, can the link be included in the vb post automatically?

obscureclouddon
11-10-2013, 09:08 PM
for some reason i thought wordpress autogenerated the excerpt.... it doesn't seem to be doing that.
so this option wouldn't work for auto generated content....

but maybe there are other plugins that will deal with the auto excerpt part.

I can add an option to append the link though.

obscureclouddon

Please do. I'm close to upgrading my forums to 4.2.2 and I want to integrate your bridge, but want to make sure that everything will work.

Unfortunately, since I'm not a full time forum manager, my site has been hacked, defaced, spammed and whatever else you guys deal with on a daily basis, and now my WP theme is outdated and throwing errors, so I'm just going to start from scratch. So it'll be a while before I have something to report. I am going to remake the site from scratch so I can get a good idea of what's going on.

Not that I didn't before, but I really have a lot of respect for you guys who manage forum communities. It's a serious pain in the ass......

I just put this site up so that it can demo the plugin, but I find myself spending so much time on just combating the spam and hack attempts, I don't even know if it's really worth it anymore.

All you have to do is overwrite the plugin directory with the new one.

The title is not affected by this change.

As for the excerpt and link, yes. If the option is selected, it will pull the WP excerpt into vb instead of the post content. It will then append the permalink to the new vB post. You can customize the link text in the WP plugin settings.

Hello,

I just bought this nice plugin. Was looking for something like that for ages. Great work!
But I have a little problem. The login via vBulletin allways gives me some errors. Seems like there is a problem with other plugins. Login via wordpress works fine.

And I wonder if it is possible to post content from a specific wp-category to a sepcific vB forum? Or is it just possible to post into one forum?

Example I create a post in WP and include an image then publish. The post creates a thread but instead of showing the image I get the code
