I'm using this Mod with WP 2.8 (and I did the upgrade with this mod and integration turned on). It worked perfectly at install -- mostly. So, those of you getting install problems I can only assume are not correctly following the directions.
There are many implications to this mod that are difficult to anticipate until you start using it in testing.
My only continuing problem is the "Author" problem. WP expects the Admin account to be #1. But, my VB Admin account is userID=3 and there is no userID=1 in my vB. So, much of the time the "Author" is shown as blank. Well, it shows blank, but it actually has userID=1 in the post, but since there is no #1 it is blank.
If I click on Publish in the QuickEdit section of WP. It will put my correct user ID on my posts. However, if someone else has written the post it also changes the author to me when I publish the post. That's not good. It shows me as the author of everything.
I gave up on trying to get Avatars and such from VB into posts here. I never could get that to work.
I've had some problems with the media upload, but by using the browser upload instead of the Flash upload all is fine.
When setting it up I knew I wouldn't be using the post back to VB option, but I still set it up to do that as per the install instructions and then I just turned that feature off after I was sure it was working.
I posted to let folks know that it does work. And works pretty well. So, keep working on it. It would be great if someone adopted this mod, and took over working on it for the future. WP is too important to VB at this point and time and the two need to REALLY work together.
