Article and Forum Connect: XenForo and WP 1.2.17
Description
Article and Forum Connect: XenForo and WP is a WordPress plugin built to connect two community hubs: WordPress content and XenForo forums. It syncs comments so discussions can stay visible and usable across both platforms. Instead of duplicating conversations, readers can post and view replies wherever they’re browsing. This helps keep your audience engaged with a single, ongoing thread—while WordPress handles the content experience and XenForo powers the forum environment.
Designed for WordPress sites that already use (or plan to use) XenForo, the integration streamlines moderation workflows and reduces repetitive admin effort. The result is a more coherent community experience, with interactions flowing smoothly between WordPress posts/pages and XenForo topics.
Main Features
- Bidirectional comment sync — Keeps replies consistent between WordPress and XenForo.
- Post on either platform — Users can create contributions while viewing content on WordPress or in the forum.
- View synced replies — Comments appear across the connected WordPress content and matching XenForo discussions.
- Unified discussion experience — Consolidates engagement so your audience doesn’t split across separate threads.
- Thread consistency — Links forum activity to the related WordPress articles and vice versa for smoother navigation.
