WordPress Forum Plugin?

Does anyone know of any good forum plugin for WordPress or any way to integrate vBulletin or SMF with WordPress?

I've searched, but the only thing I could find was XDForum, which is pretty buggy and still needs a lot of work.

Does anyone here know of any good forum plugins for WP, or any way to integrate SMF/vBulletin into WordPress?

Thanks

 

I myself have been looking for something similar. I believe Matt, the guy behind WP, is working on something but it's far from WP compatible.

Something should be coming along fairly soon though since I know a lot of people are after this particular feature.

 

Go to SMF official site or search google

I know for sure there is a good SMF plugin for wordpreess

Cheers Michael. I will definitely look into that.

There's at least one other, maybe more.

I need something like this too.... a plugin for WP to make it work like a forum.

 

bbPress - http://bbpress.org/blog/2006/09/simpler-integration-with-wordpress/

 

I have found a couple of them:

- xDforum
- WP-Forum
- bbPress

which one of these plugins is the best?

 

Trial and error I'd suggest. I'm not willing to change from my separate PhpBB forum just yet.

 

Nice find. Go to try some of those.

 

Just install it and integrate it in template.

Check out how I integrated punbb.

 

I'm still waiting for the vBulletin bridge to be compatible with the new vB.

 

Try bbPress... It is integrated nicely with Wordpress.

 

Yes, but bbPress doesn't have a nice interface.... I wonder is there a better template for that bbPress?

 

WP-forum is a very good plugin for wordpress. You need v2.+

I think you have got it right, Arkserver. WP-forum is very similar to vbulletin, and I think it's the closest you can get without having to install a forum engine.

 

try this:

The release seems unmaintained. It's been a few month since the developer released that version

 

Looking for a plugin. I'm looking a plugin that will offer more management in the sidebar for categories.
Right now under my categories it shows the name of each category with a number that shows the number of posts to that topic.
I think an additional feature would be nice like having an arrow next to the number so a visitor could click and view the post titles.
This way if the subject interested them they could go to the post and read it.

Sort of like a nav menu for each category section.

Categories

Articles (4) "arrow"
Books (6) "arrow"
Resources (3) "arrow"
Recipes (2) "arrow"

It there a plugin like this or could one be made?
