Hey, you guys.
Unfortunatly I've experienced a few problems. I'm running vB 4.1.11 under boards.example.com and WordPress 3.3.1 under blog.example.com. vB is my "Core-System", so registration should only be available on it, but users need to be able to access WordPress as well (using ClassiPress Premium Theme).
After I found your great vBSSO Plugin I've installed it instantly
Everything worked fine, the system established the connection and wordpress was fetching the users logging in to vB (they show up in WPs users list). But they are not logged in to wordpress automatically and cannot login via WPs login form (password error).
Another problem is, that I can't sign out of my wp admin account anymore. WP redirects me straight back to WP Dashboard after clicking the Sign out button keeping me logged in.
I just have no idea what to do... Would be great to hear from you, I need your help :/
Alex
Alex, try please to back to your vBulletin, try to sign out there first. It should sign out all the connected platforms and start working next time as soon as you are logged in.
First of all, thank you for this awesome plugin! finally a strong solution to connect vbulletin and worpdress!!! i hope to see you grow up soon and i m looking forward for your next plugin releases!!!
now the questions: how can i set the link to vbulleting profile in the WP comments? now, thanks to your avatar feature, i have the avatar...but i really need to create a link on the nickname and the avatar as well to the user's vbulletin profile...can you help me to do this?
the second one: i have a website with a lot of articles and comments...after vbsso installation the users avatars who commented the news before the upgrade with this bridge, has disappeared. Instead with new comments work like a charm. how can i refresh all the old comments with updated avatars? Do you know some tips, tool, or sql snippets to refresh it all?
Please, i need help
Hi Amaca, thanks for the trying vBSSO Sol, regarding the first your question, this feature requires to modify both vBSSO plugins for WordPress and vBulletin to support correct redirect to profile. The 2nd feature starts working if you create new accounts in vBulletin for people who left older comments and associate an avatar with account in vBulletin.
Ok... so how exactly would that work or what do you have to do? Besides installing the plugin and adding the wordpress instance...
Like do they have to register on wp with the same email they have in vb or?
There is no needs to create user accounts in WordPress, if person has account in vBulletin and logs in, vBulletin vBSSO creates account in WordPress automatically.
You are a special case We were busy recently and were not able to leave post answers, so we will send you the updated vBSSO file with additional logging to try detect the cause in your case.
Hey xeagle,
thank you for your answer, but it didn't solve my problem...
I've been trying it for hours, but when I log in to vBulletin and go to my blog afterwards, I'm not logged in to wordpress and even cannot log in manually because it says "wrong password".
But when I log in to my blog with my admin account I see my vBulletin Account in the wordpress user list.
After that I can't even log out of Wordpress anymore, it just redirects me (saying "Logging you out.") back to the page I'm currently viewing.
hi i have a problem... when i run vbsso, it doesnt allow me to open my threads?.. i tried playing with the user groups settings but it doesnt help.. please help thanks
