Strange WP behavior since install
Hello!
Thank you for the work you've done on the WP/VB bridge.. it's a great plugin! I installed the software tonight, and its mostly working, but for some reason when I post a new post in WP the "user" shows up as some other user from the VB database. It's the same VB user for me every time I post, and same for the other editors/administrators. I assume it's linking the existing WP accounts with someone elses VB account? Any help you could provide would be awesome, thank you! |

The WP post is from a WP user. You must still have modified templates from the old bridge.

All of the WP posts have VB usernames now. To login to the WP Control Panel I still use my old WP admin account, and everything shows up correctly in the WP Control Panel (Author, etc). But when I publish a post the author shows up as a certain VB user (Each Author seems to point to a certain other VB user). Any help you can provide would be great, I am not even sure where to start looking! |

This happens on the article pages, in the tagline under the title. The WP author shows as some random VB user. Not sure if it matters, but the exact author name from WP doesn't exist in VB, does that matter? |

Ok, I found the bug and have fixed it. Download the latest version and overwrite the files with the new ones.
Thanks for the heads up! |

Did you disable plugins in your WORDPRESS control panel VBridge settings?
Vbridge Settings -> Enable plugins during wordpress instance (NO) 99.9999999999% of the time you want this set to no. |

That is user settings, not vbridge settings.. It is located in the settings menu.

I'm also getting some garbled characters in the contents of my posts when the plugin is enabled, mosty:  and …. I supposed I'll wait and see if anyone else has issues. If not, it must be specific to my installation. Thanks. |

Note.. even though it errored.. it still posted the post to the front page.
And when it errors on commenting, it still posts the comment. |

Hmm, this might have to do with the linefeeds used in my text editor. I have converted them to unix style line feeds. Please redownload the scripts and upload them to your server.

Success!
Tested posting a new post as well as commenting on an existing post and they both worked with flying colors!! Thanks for fixing this.. I'll play around with it tonight and see if I can't break something else Do you have any plans to add/change features in the future? Thanks again! |

One other thing I see is that the logout link doesn't appear to work. I'm guessing that link needs to redirect to the vb logout script. The only other tweak I would add pertains to guest comments. Ideally, I would like to require a user be logged into vb in order to leave a comment. Thoughts? It would be incredible if the avatar from vb was used in the comments list. Any chance of adding that? That would make it perfect!!! Thanks again. Last edited by freak99; 02-05-2011 at 12:03 AM. |

"You must log in to post a comment." ... to redirect to the vb login page instead of the WP login page. |

I don't mean to bombard your thread, but I wanted to point out one more issue that you may or may not be aware of. I use third party desktop software (Windows Live Writer on windows and ecto on Mac) to post to my blog. I noticed this evening that I'm not able to log in using these types of programs with your plugin enabled.
Thanks |
