Does this do enough for you.
Themehouse had a Wordpress bridge and a native iOS app that were compatible with each other but they’ve moved on to other things it seems.
Chronic bridge issues are:
Wordpress Cache addons don’t seem to work when bridged.
You need two themes. A Wordpress one and a xenforo one, and it’s hard to get them “to look alike”. Usually needs custom coding.
Wordpress code is outdated and breaks often. Bridge makers have to fix things … a lot.
Good news was xenforo added more robust ways to sync logins ? API ? I forget but it seems it could make a bridge work easier / better.
Yes, thanks for the suggestion, we used this add-on before, but alas, also no longer supported. The Theme House group is awesome, we use several of their add-ons.
XFtoWP was perfect for us. Unfortunately, as previously stated, it seems abandoned and errors are starting to pop up as both WP and XF see updates, forcing me to use post necromancy.
After using XF for over a decade, Xenforo relying 3rd party add-ons, becomes more painful as time moves on, as many of them become abandoned. There are some awesome 3rd Party add-on groups here, but unfortunately, for us, it just takes one add-on that is abandoned, to make us rethink viability of keeping XF forums, beyond the standard install. It is disheartening, frankly.
The lack of native integration of some core features, is really starting to illustrate that Xenforo might not be the forum for us.
Lets take this suggestion as an example. It took me some time to figure out how to even address this issue in the suggestions forum, when my previous attempt were moderated. It was like solving a puzzle in a game - lol - this is
NOT good. After my initial post here was removed, I had to carefully decipher what the mod communicated. I even asked how to address address this issue - but it was ignored (yay). Not being one to give up, I searched this forum and I had dig up a post from 2010 (14 year old) to bring up this issue. Lack of built in native features features in Xenforo like this example, means you have to coble systems like this suggestion forum together to get anywhere- I think this is pretty poor user experience to say the least - frankly, have to upvote a thread that 14 years old is
TERRIBLE.
I saw a thread, somewhere here on the XF forums discussing how Invision has moved towards cloud servers, closing down their 3rd Party Market Place, increasing their prices, and really doubling down on native integrations. Although I think many may disagree here, for groups like us, this seems like a compelling strategy. Their updates seem much more rapid, and their core install looks extremely feature rich. I only found them by looking to see what forum software other game developers are using, and Invision seems the most popular. So Invision may be much more expensive, but not having to dig, search, and beg for solutions here, is a big upside.
Anyway, we are exploring what our options are in this area now that we hit this snag. As the OP said back in 2010 WP is a huge marketplace, and having native integration for it, and putting something in the WP marketplace for Xenforo, would probably boost adoption for XF.

. Favoritism was an issue for me too, and with lack of a clear roadmap, impossible to invest without having insider details as some here have. I wouldn't be at all surprised if 3.0 core components or the theme was built by those "favorited" third party resource authors. Maybe wouldn't even be a bad idea to get something out.
