No, you are not correct. All this does is bridge users from your VB forum to your WP blog. Whether you give certain VB usergroups the right to post is up to you, but they will be posting to one blog, not a new blog for each user.

Wordpress and Vbulletin must be installed on the same domain name, it cannot be done on two separate domain names.

Thanks as I will have to look at some of the example site to see how all this looks

so am i correct in saying that its ok for wordpress and vbulletin to be installed in different directory's but under the same domain name?

Yes, you are correct.

Hello, I'm running Vbulletin Version 3.6.4

And wordpress 2.11

And I am getting this error when trying to psot from Wordpress into vbulletin

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare timer_start() (previously declared in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-settings.php:58) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 37

Do you have any ideas?

I have no idea where you are getting the file bootstrap.inc from. Is this from a Vbulletin plugin? You can try adding this line towards the top in vbbridge.php right near similar lines:

Hello,

After I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 (latest version) and upgraded this plugin, I am now having problems when trying to activate any other plugins. I keep receiving this error.

WordPress database error: [Duplicate column name 'vb_threadid']
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD vb_threadid INT(10)

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/admin/domains/bostonerotic.net/public_html/board/press/wp-includes/wp-db.php
Line: 121

Though, if I hit the back button, the plugin is activated. Though, if I try to publish, I get this error from the podcast plugin (these two may just clash, hopefully you can recommend a fix).

Warning: Attempt to assign property of non-object in /press/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_admin_class.php on line 540

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/admin/domains/bostonerotic.net/public_html/board/includes/class_core.php:3036) in /press/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Update: It is not just the podcasting widget that the bridge is not compatible with, it is all the Widgets. I have Sidebar Widgets installed and when the vb bridge is activated the Sidebar Widgets returns this error when you click on it, "Unable to load O.".

Now activating anything with the vb bridge active still returns the first error about the duplicate thread and header.

I would really like to be able to use plugins, most especially the widget plugins with this.

Please Help...

Are you positive you upgraded to the latest version of this plugin? That issue shouldn't really exist.

As with any plugin, this may conflict with other plugins you have activated. There is no way for anyone to write one that may not be affected by other third party code.

I get a very similar response to that. I'm not running any other plug-ins aside from the defaults. I have a fresh install of WP 2.1 (latest version, downloaded today) and just downloaded your plug-in today.

"WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'vb_threadid' in 'field list']
UPDATE wp_posts set vb_threadid = 311 WHERE ID = 6

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.gerber/jackfrost/digitaldevildb.com/wp/wp-includes/wp-db.php:121) in /home/.gerber/jackfrost/digitaldevildb.com/wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 275"

It does publish to the forum if I go and check, but WP itself shows that error and stops.

Thanks for any help.

Also, I have the plug-in set to post under the name of Jack News. However, if I'm logged into vB under my normal admin name (Tony) it posts under Tony. If I'm logged out it posts as Jack News. Is there a way to force it to be Jack News even if I'm logged in as Tony? Hopefully that makes sense.

If you are logged in as Tony, it will post as Tony. That is the point of integration.

When you click activate, it creates that column vb_threadid, not sure why yours did not. Try deactivating then activating the plugin.
