Integrate your vBulletin forum with Wordpress.

The lite version of this Wordpress vBulletin bridge allows your Wordpress posts to be posted to vBulletin.

This is a Wordpress plugin that facilitates this functionality. Just install it in your WP plugin folder and set up the path to your vBulletin installation. As long as the forum is on the same server, this works well.

No need to combine the databases. No need to modify core WP files.

It's that easy!

All of your Wordpress posts will be posted in your forum. You will designate a forum to take these posts. If you have sub forums that match the name of the category of the Wordpress post, this plugin will automatically put the post there.

The full version, available at wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com// allows more functionality to fully integrate your Wordpress and vBulletin including:

Wordpress->vB features:
  1. *Registration sync - new users created on WP are automatically created on vB
  2. *New post sync - new WP posts are intelligently posted to the matching forum. There are some controls on which forum they are posted to.
    Options:
    - Posts can be attributed to the user posting or
    - All posts can be attributed to a designated user
  3. *Comment sync - new comments made on WP are posted to the synced forum
  4. *Login sync - when you login or logout of WP, the vB session is created or destroyed at the same time
  5. *Avatar sync - vBulletin avatars are used on WP comments (requires user-photo WP plugin)
  6. *No modification of core WP files!
  7. *No modification of WP config file!
  8. *100% plugin setting based - install the plugin, set your forum path, activate the features you want, enjoy!

vBulletin ->Wordpress features *NEW*
  • *Registration sync - new users created on vB are automatically created on WP
  • *New thread sync - new vB threads are intelligently posted to the matching WP category.
    Options:
    - Only post to designated category
    - Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then post to the designated category if no match is found.
    - Try to match forum name (or any of its parents) to a WP category then create a new WP category
  • *Reply sync - replies made to synced threads will have replies posted to the matching WP post
  • *Login sync - when you login or logout of vB, the WP session is created or destroyed at the same time
  • *No modification of core vB files!
  • *No modification of vB config file!
  • *100% plugin based - this plugin will create the vB plugins needed through the WP plugin settings page!

This is still a work in progress so the code will be updated often.

Feel free to let me know how it works, additional features you'd like, and if you have any problems.

Here is a guide from a user:
Thanks a bunch for putting this together BAJR
Quick Guide.

First unpack the folder into plugins, where all the files and sub folders should reside in [wb-vb] folder.

now in Wordpress Plugins, activate the plugin and then go to Settings --> WP Vb integration


Essentials are as follows: (everything else you can play with!)


1) Path to vBulletin. / means the Vbulletin Forum is in your root folder. ie www.mysite.com/
/forum/ means the Vbulletin Forum is in a folder called forum. ie www.mysite.com/forum/
ALWAYS add the trailing /


2) Activate login sync feature [check box]


3) Activate post sync feature [check box]

4) Forum ID - this is the NUMBER of your desired linked forum ( sub forums are added from this) so look at your vbulletin URL

http://mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?6-The-Forum the ID would be 6


5) vBulletin user id to assign posts to - this is numerical as well. so ID number of who you want to add these too.



6) vBulletin -> Wordpress Settings

Add vBulletin plugins ... click add


7) go back up and click [TEST] - if all is well you should see... vB loaded Plugins - 1|1|1|1|1|1|1

I bought this plugin and can't get it to work at all. How can I get support for it?

I too was considering to purchase this plugin, but I'm not sure if it's still being actively developed and supported.

The developer's forum throws errors and support requests go unanswered. A clarification by obscureclouddon would be appreciated.

Heckwork, thanks for the link!

I think the obscureclouddon plugin is actually better than the one I posted above here. I got it working for what I want, user/login syncing.

I did not get the theme unification to work and obscureclouddon is not replying to my support request. I solved this using Advanced iFrame Pro http://codecanyon.net/item/advanced-iframe-pro/5344999

I use a javascript to force users to jump to the embedded forum.php, in case they use a hard link, but I'm still struggling to get this working with showthread.php?...

Getting a vBulletin Forum to work embedded in Wordpress with iFrames is causing too many problems passing URL?s, specially the direct links visitors already have. Javascripts can be used to solve this but things get really slow and jumpy so I am stuck here and give up on this plugin for this purpose.

Thanks for that precious piece of information!

I don't care about post/comments either, just about user syncing and a shared login via vB.

Can you confirm that the Codecanyon plugin effectively syncs vB users with WP?

Just redid the site. Demo should work now.
Plugin hasn't changed though. It is working like a champ on vb 4.2.2 and wp 3.8

I don't understand what the question is.
If you're asking about where the vBulletin plugins are, they are created from the WP plugin admin page after you enter the forum path. There is a button that says "Add". Hit that and the plugin will create the vB plugins needed.

If you still are having issues, please let me know.

Again, email (don@obscurecloud.com) or skype (obscurecloud) are best for contacting me. I check messages here as often as I can, but email always gets to me.

Hopefully this doesn't affect new Blog posts but I will report back.
The paid version has a lot more features to control users, categories, and forum locations of threads. You can find it on the newly redesigned and demo-able site: http://wp-vb-bridge.obscurecloud.com/

Please help
I haven't seen this issue. Please contact me on skype and i'll look at it for you. I suspect that there is another plugin conflict. Try disabling you're other vb plugins to see if it's the issue in the meantime. You should be able to log in to the admincp by turning off the bridge plugin in wp.
