vBulletin 5 is a CMS. You can do anything with it that can be done with WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal.

Its an option but the read about this, with wp for example, is fully integrated? Only I need a cms for index with articles, like the old vbadvanced, articles pointed to one subforum in the forum.

VB 5.0 I can't use because, in my vb 4.2.5 I have some plugins that aren't compatible with vb 5...

Because users must login 2 times on your website, you need 2 databases, ... what is also need 2 times. So, it is not convenient to have WP as your portal unless you can not have a CMS for your forum.

that depend what you want to do, if it's just a presentation of your forum or something like that no need to login.
But if you want to put last post... yes you will have a login problem.
I saw a plugin in wordpress that communicate with vbulletin, i'll try to find it and will share here.

To write such a thing, you've never used WordPress.

I use WordPress now. WordPress doesn't do much of anything without plugins.

I think it was for old Wordpress version hence it can have issues with the latest version of vB or WP.
