Hi there, Hoping this is the preferred method for trying to start a new topic. In Nick's post here: We have the same setup. Wordpress is the main "site" and the rest is at the forum. What I would be interested in hearing about is how other manage this configuration? Nick, how do you avoid duplication of content or do you care? I am going to join your forum to see how it is done. I am just curious how others do it. We are also adding vBA as a bridge for those members who want to "join" the fanclub. Frankly, I am tearing my hair out right now trying to figure this all out.
Right here brother: Complete Wordpress/Vbulletin Bridge - Share Users And Postings - vBulletin.org Forum
I use wordpress and vbulletin in 2 different ways and for 2 different sites. 1 is a landing page for my forum and the other is a portal to my forum. Example 1 - Elite Gamers Instead of being able to post a comment, there is a link to where people can go to the thread in the forum. The forum and the wordpress page are on the same domain name Example 2 - Survival Gear Reviews and Forum Which is on a separate domain name as my related topic forum. In example 2, that site is my forums #1 source of targeted traffic with only a 12% bounce rate.
We have the forum up and running and also want to add wordpress as 1 the home page 2 for content such as articles, profiles. Im presuming it should be ok to install on the same database as v.bull? it wont conflict whilst setting up? I also read somewhere that it needs to be in same folder as forum to avoid cookie issues even with the bridge??? I have fantastico on my server, so can use that for installing it with.
I would be sure to use a different table prefix doodles, but other then that I don't see why having them in the same database wouldn't work. (Now watch Wayne Luke come in to post some good reasons not to do this, hehe)
