SMF Wordpress Integration
** Sorry, this plugin is no longer being developed. **
Try this instead, you’ll have better luck.
A few years ago, I started work on a Wordpress plugin for SMF that performed a partial integration of users between Wordpress and SMF. The approach it took was basically:
When you try to login from Wordpress, the script checks your wordpress login, if the user isn’t in the database, it checks the SMF database using smf_api, if the user authenticates from there, that user is created in the wordpress users table, logged in with wordpress cookies and SMF cookies and ready to go to either the wordpress blog or SMF.
Following that, I’ll develop a plugin for the SMF-side of the equation that will work similar magic on the SMF side in terms of authenticating against wordpress if the user doesn’t exist in the SMF table, creating the SMF user in the wordpress database, setting the wordpress cookies and and we should be good to go.
The code here is provided for reference only. It hasn’t been tested on anything more recent than SMF 1.02. Get it here if you must.
** I would suggest trying the Wordpress SMF Bridge Plugin.***
