Nice one bruh!

DSR !original made but never got approved on mod site. I have  updated and posted with permission from him and pushed the changes back to github.
There are two parts SMF  to worpdress and then another addon for Worpdress to SMF.

We needed to have a goto worpress integration here.

About 10-12 years ago someone made a bridge. I dont remember who or if it was even on here on the modsite.  It worked logging in on both places but it was flawed. Very cool of you doing this. I've seen the recent posts about dual logins lately.

[vbgamer45]

Have more time working at home than the office. So doing some fun projects here and there. Recoded some parts of an RPG game I used to help run/contribute to, so staying busy

Good job is something lately they ask a lot I have seen although wp I do not like much for the format uses... I guess I'm becoming a hermit over the years .


Regards!

Great work man!

@vbgamer45

Thank you for this login bridge. Please add a Polish translation to this modification.

[vbgamer45]

Done added the translation.

vbgamer, dude... thank you!

I had actually been considering resurrecting the old SMF <-> WP bridge, especially since I now do WordPress as a (current) career... this takes that task off my plate!

Really appreciate this, my guy!

[vbgamer45]

Glad to help.  Be sure to grab both parts SMF TO WP and WP TO SMF. I used to remember a lot of bridges for SMF trying to bring some back as I find them.

[Douglas]

Actually, we want it to be just one direction (SMF -> WP) for Fractured.

I just have to wait for 2.1 to reach RC3 status, first.

Hello,

Would this mod work if I want to prevent anyone who isn't in my SMF from seeing my WP content?

[vbgamer45]

Could be if you setup the permissions on the wordpress side based on membergroup

Looking into that.  Thanks.  Also, i cant get the path to recognize.

I have it installed in www.mydomain.com/public_html/mySMFdomain.com/content/wp-config.php but it's not taking any permutation of the url

I already had SMF at the root of the "smfDomain" so I put wp in a folder called content.

[vbgamer45]

It should be a local file path not a web url for the path

[rcane]

yeah, tried that too.

[Kindred]

/home/www/public_html/mySMFdomain/content/wp-config.php

more likely, it should be something like that....


try this
create a file mydir.php
put this in it

Code (mydir.php) Select Expand

<?php
echo dirname(__FILE__);
?>

Haaa.  elegant.  I had been using the changepermissions right-click in cPanel because it gave a path to the file you were about to modify.

Much thanks.

Do you have any guidance on setting up permissions?  This is the first time I've tried anything like this.

[vbgamer45]

Myself no. Haven't used it in an actual normal environment. I mainly updated the mod so it could work on newer versions of SMF.

Well, how does it work in a normal environment?  I can start there.  I've got a few WP pages of content I'd like accessible from the smf.

I don't know any of the steps to use this.

Does the Wordpress install need to be inside SMF?

I constantly hit this message when trying to locate the wp-config.php file

Code Select Expand

Your WP path is invalid! could not locate wp-config.php
Ideally, I am trying to use Wordpress as my site and then have SMF as a community extension. I have input the location but nothing seems to work.

Take a look at this post:

https://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,9879.msg43334.html#msg43334

Read my entire conversation with vbgamer45 and you'll get to the solution.

@jsx May I ask if you tried with the latest version of WordPress?

I'm a little torn between using this or the Tiny Portal app, yet as a content creator, WordPress fulfils a lot more of my needs if a bridge works.

[[chrisB]]

@vbgamer45 It works with WordPress 6.1.1, but it looks like something isn't quite playing nicely.

I installed an older version of WordPress to test; it worked flawlessly (5.6.10) but now with 6.1.1 if I log out using WordPress it doesn't log me out of SMF.

If I log out of SMF, it logs me out of WordPress.

My error log shows this message every time I sign out.

It also shows this:

wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php (Line 310)

Would you please be able to look into this issue?

I am not currently using WordPress.

I am experiencing the same issue on another fresh install, this one runs WordPress 5.6.10 and the same error comes up when logging out of WordPress.

2: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'rest_cookie_collect_status' not found or invalid function name

I asked a friend to check the plugin, he's managed to fix the WordPress side sign-out sync with SMF. However, he's tried various things to fix the the sign-in sync.The SMF plugin by VBgamer works perfectly.

It will sign in and out of WordPress.It's the WordPress side which is broken.I would love to be able to bring my sites and projects to WordPress/SMF. I am hoping the sign-in sync can be fixed, I could pay but it depends on the amount. Unfortunately, I can't afford over $150, even this might be a push for me due to the cost of living.

It's a shame others who want to see a well maintained bridge supported by a reliable dev, like @vbgamer45 or @Douglas. SMF is a great option for a forum and community, whereas WordPress for content like articles, features etc gives a reason to bring in people.
