Well, my site started as Wordpress, and I only just added vBulletin to act as a more community-friendly comments engine, so I realize I'm backwards from most folks here. I have ~2 years of content in Wordpress, so moving the ~7 months worth of vBulletin to a different platform is likely easier than moving the Wordpress over, lol.

It's not the difficultly of moving, its the lack of features and available addons that made PHPBB so inferior to VB.

In any case, I'm extremely interested in seeing this mod updated, rather than having to move stuff around - it's *so* close to working beautifully, but just needs to be updated is all.

I'm 100% behind you on that. Perhaps someone will step forward and ask the original author to all them to take over. The Author hasn't posted on dot org for a few months and haven't even logged on for the past month (at this writing).

He seems to have abandoned this mod.

I couldn't get the Author links working the way the Mod Author laid it out in his Readme. But, using his concept I found a way to change the Author links to link to their VB Profile, but it only applies to users that use VBSEO to rewrite member profile links to: username.html.

Here's what I did:

NOTE: since I'm running VBSEO this method applies to VBSEO users. VBSEO rewrites the member profile links on the fly. So instead of www.yourdomain/forum/members.php?u=1075 being a link to a member's profile VBSEO changes it to: www.yourdoamin/forum/members/username.html.

So, here's what I did. First I went to the various post and page php pages in my WP Style and changed the coding that said:

I changed it to:
See the original coding in the template called "the_author_posts_link" and I've changed that to "the_author" which gives you the author's username from VB. Then you can see in my new code above that I use the "the_author" php to insert the username into the manually coded link.

If you're not using VBSEO, you'll need to find a way make the Mod Author's instructions work to pick up the member number and use that to create a userID generated link. I just couldn't get his instructions to work for me.

Again, I realize this shouldn't be necessary to do this way, but hey, it works. So I thought I'd pass it on.

Alternatively, if you can't get this to work -- a fall back workaround idea is to change "the_author_post_link" to "the_author" and you'll keep the username but lose the broken link.

When I open the media Uploader i get this message "Are you sure you want to do this?".

What can i do?. Please

I keep reading about this error but I don't have it. I don't have a user # 1 in vb either so far as I know and if I do, its deff not an admin account.

When I log in as my vb-user account (admin btw) it shows up fine on the forums.

If I log in as the wordpress admin and make a post, it shows up as my "designated alternate" in the forum. I enabled that in the WP plugin.

Vbridge Settings
VB User ID: 2857
VB Username: Slyph


BUG REPORT

When I try the quick post option in the WP-ADMIN -- it shows up on the blog but not in the forum. Using the regular posting method works fine.

The answer is way back in comment #584 of this thread.

Has anyone else gotten that to work? I tried but, I still get an http error when doing it...

What would i have for the setting if i had my forum & blog as a sudomain I.E.

forum.yourdomain.com
&
blog.yourdomain.com

Can you help please.
