You need an image for the front page.

Atlas told me it'll just take the featured image I inserted.

How do I specify the image for the front page?

Also, appears the bridge isn't working from what I tested.

[Leftwich]

What do you mean its not working? You posted as Killgod when you put the article up.

[killgod]

weren't we installing something that bridged the posts?

so if i replied to the thread, the post would also show up as a comment on the frontpage story?

basically the thread and the blog comments are the same thing?

[killgod]

to be more clear

exactly that.

I'm pretty sure all that is, is their homepage and articles integrated into the theme of vbulletin and vice versa. I don't know if its supposed to work exactly the way you want it to cause from what i read from the bridge was that it was just something to let your vb username post onto wordpress.

Yah alll I've ever wanted was to have the articles create threads on the forum, and for the replies to show up in both the thread and as article comments.

The whole point is because we have no front page traffic, however if the forum replies show up under the articles, then the front page becomes much more appealing. Guys stopped writing articles because nobody goes there to read them, so I wanted to merge the forum with the homepage.

Well then we need to figure out how OS did it then do exactly that.

And to go that route this is what we'll have to do...

I want to say I've done this before but I can't remember how.

I think its a VB option honestly. I'll look into it when I get a chance.

[leaffan]

K so this looks like what has to happen.

These things need to be done.

1. Confirm what version of VB we are using and will stay with. Currently on Version 3.8.5 for VB
2. Confirm what version of Wordpress we have. I have no idea at this point.

3. Figure out if something like this will work with our current software for the posts from vb and will show up on the worpress page: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=207317

4. Figure out if something like this will work with our current software for user comments/posts from vb to the wordpress comment section: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134521

Option 2 is buy this: http://forum2blog.com/

Option 3 is for someone who hasn't pissed off anyone at OS to ask them if they know how they did it or to find another site that does it and ask them.

You can also do something with RSS feeds but I hate those things so someone else can tackle them.

We have WP Version 3.2.1

3. Is supported for our version of VB but haven't installed it or anything.
4. Is already installed.
