vBSSO is a vBulletin plugin that helps you connect to different software platforms like content management systems, blogs, and online stores using a secure Single Sign-On

The second component is plugins for other platforms (like WordPress) that teach it to talk to vBulletin and exchange data. Here?s a list of support platforms.

"We are in dept to those who have donated their code and advice to us over the last six years. Without that support, we would never have built one of the most successful diabetes communities. This is our way of 'paying it forward' so others can do more better and faster." - David Edelman, Co-Founder of Diabetes Daily
I think I have this figured out; wasn't aware it created a new user on the other forum; we have massive spam-filters built in given the size of the two forums and that was sending new users into an approval queue.
Still testing with other sites.
Quick question: if you set one forum up as master, can the second forum's users log in on the primary?
If second's users do not exist in 1st forum, you should migrate them to 1st forum. The migration is not implemented yet in vBSSO, however it is in tasks list.
I'm running vBulletin 4.1.11 and Wordpress 3.5.0. The VB installation has an old huge user base, while the Wordpress installation is new. I'm confident that I've installed vbSSO correctly, but it does not seem to work.
If I go to the Wordpress page and click "Login", I get redirected to VB, where I enter user name and password. After clicking "Login" on the VB page, I get logged in to VB and redirected to Wordpress. But in Wordpress I'm still not logged in.
The user exists in Wordpress and VB, with the same mail address and the same password.

What could be wrong?
The similar issue was fixed in vBSSO vBulletin 1.4.9, which is going to be released soon. We recommend everybody to upgrade to the latest one as soon as it comes out.
Many thanks for the new version, but for our forum it seems to work even less.
At first I tried to upgrade from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9. It warned me about two or three conflicting hooks and seemed to be installed only partially. Therefore I uninstalled it entirely and tried a clean install. This results in "Importing add-on. Please wait" being displayed forever without any noticable progress.
I've removed the new hook checking code from the installer, just to see whether this helps - and it did. The AddOn installed, but the link with Wordpress still does not work (same problem as before). I guess it's due to the hook conflicts that vbSSO warns about.
/Edit: Ah, I've also adjusted access rights to the log directory. I'm not sure whether this or the modified installer made the installation work.
Okay, I do not get any warnings anymore, but users still won't be logged in to Wordpress.
Could it be a problem that vBulletin is installed on a subdomain while Wordpress isn't?

Hi TiKu, It's not a problem of subdomain. There might be different problems, for example recently we helped an user who had a broken vBulletin installation with missing files that was a cause for login problems. Please report your details through http://vbsso.com to let support take a look at your blog and forum.
