So.... I have the bridge installed

And have mapped registered users so that they can make comments, and moderators as Editors. I made a test moderator login in vbulletin and logged in with it. When I went to make a post, WP prompted me for the username and password.... I used the username and password from vbulletin and was denied.

Also is this bridge supposed to bring profile information like avatars into WP assuming I am able to login to WP successfully with VB credentials?

Do I have to import all my VB users into WP?

Ok, but I'm confused as to how I do these things.


  • Allows users to log into WP with their VB credentials.
  • Links their user names to their VB member page.

You are only reading the parts you want to read :

Limitations
  • WP users cannot comment on articles, they must log into VB to comment.
  • VB users do not have access to the WP admin CP. Only WP users have access to WP admin CP by design. The reason for this is that WP has changed how they derive permissions several times now. Every time they do this, it breaks the bridge. I hope to eventually bridge all users but for the time being, it has not been accomplished.
  • Must be on the same domain name and same server.

Please do forgive me for my ignorance on this hack. I could go and read many pages of info about the old hack at vb.org, but that won't help me with this version.

So if I map let's say moderators in as Editors, what do I have to do in order to have them contribute posts?

How do I "Link their user names to their VB member page."

That is not currently possible. The ONLY thing the bridge currently does is allow users to COMMENT on posts. It does not bridge users into the WP admin area in any shape or form.

Ok good luck, although you are going to find it will break your site.

There seems to be quite a few satisfied customers over on vb.org. I did have to change one function call that was deprecated in WP 3.1. What will it break? Will it corrupt my forums?

Users who post in the admin cp will be confused for other users because the wrong username will show, if any username shows at all. There are other areas of the wp admin that will give you "You do not have permission" errors.

Note, most of the "satisfied users" are using older versions of WP. Use at you're own risk.

Hmmm, I've put in a request for a paid modification of your original hack.
