This is not an error with vbbridge. This error must be coming from another plugin. MANY plugins were broken by WP 2.3, and so were many templates.

Any idea which one it could be?

I have no idea.

I have a somewhat different use in mind for this plugin, and I'd like to know if what I want to do is possible.

First, I don't want/need to share users between Wordpress and vBulletin. However, I do want all posts from Wordpress to be posted into my vBulletin for discussion.

Now it gets more complicated. The problem that I have is this:

I have multiple websites, each using Wordpress (i.e. http://www.highstakesreport.com and http://www.pokeronamac.com). I also have a separate website for my forums (http://www.pokerforumsonline.com).

What I want to do is take all new posts from each website and have new vBulletin threads created on pokerforumsonline.com with the content of each Wordpress post. I feel that this will get people from my other websites discussing the topics more, as well as build a community of people with common interests.

Can this be done? Perhaps I need to look more into a scraping software? Any suggestions?

MPDesignZ and Jafo232, I *think* I have your answer. In any case, I think this will point you in the right direction. I'm about to upgrade to WP 2.3 on a site that uses this bridge, so I'll know for sure after that, but from my experience getting a Coppermine photo gallery bridge to work after another 2.3 upgrade, and based on the error you posted, I think the solution to this is likely to be relatively simple. With the 2.3 release Wordpress database functions were consolidated into wp-includes/wp-db.php, and moved out of several other files. The file wp-admin/admin-db.php is no longer used by WordPress and contains redundant functions. The bridge code has a "require" at line 400 for admin-db.php, hence the error message. This may not be the entire fix, but commenting out line 400 from vbbridge.php would be a logical first step. After that, you may get a similar error but the message may now reference some other no-longer-needed file. Once you've eliminated references to files that contain redundant functions, the bridge will probably work.

I just finished installing vbbridgeII on a new WordPress 2.3 site. The only change I had to make to the code for version 2.3 was to comment out line 400. It appears to be working fine.
Thanks!

Kudos to you! Commenting out that line made it work perfectly!

on another note. I did take all the plugins on the wordpress install off and then try this again and still did get the same error even though I deactivated all WP plugins. But commenting out this line made everything work perfectly! :D

Hello, before I use vbulletin for the comment system, I have some questions that may seem silly, but this may hinge if I plan to use the plugin or not (Which by the way is excellent):

1. I have existing comments and getting a good reader base. Nothing on the level of some other blogs out there, but the point is, is there a way to export comments from WP to vB?

2. Next is the login issue, and I cannot seem to fully understand how it works. Right now, users can comment without registring, and to use the vBulletin in the same manner will the forum have to change the permissions to allow anonymous posting?

3. Another issue I do not fully grasp is can a user log into Wordpress and be logged into vBulletin as well, or does the user have to log into vBulletin before being logged into Wordpress?

Thanks for your help in the matter.

Edit: never mind, I went with bbPress instead.

I'm still waiting for an answer if anybody is able to help me.
