Are you trying to add a forum to a blog, or convert the blog into a forum somehow?

Must admit this is a little confusing, very much aware of users (myself included) interested to merge wordpress and SMF but not convert wordpress to SMF.

well I mean, anything is possible with enough know-how and time or the money to pay someone that has the know-how and time

so yes it's possible, no it's not something easily done, and would be a custom job

Do you actually mean WordPress or do you mean bbpress  (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/)(the forum software plugin for WordPress) ?

If the latter read this thread:  https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=575897.0

On the other hand you could have a wordpress install and an SMF forum on the same site BUT those are not integrated and so would have separate logins.

That's the approach I have taken.

https://gsx1400owners.org/   (defaults to https://gsx1400owners.org/wp/) which is my cover page / basic info / flashy part.

In the wordpress menu I have a forum button which takes people here:
https://www.gsx1400owners.org/forum/

Most users then simply bookmark the forum directly.
