XFtoWP - XenForo to WordPress integration

XFtoWP - XenForo to WordPress integration 1.5.5

No permission to buy ($79.00)
XFtoWP 1.4.2 RC2 - until this is marked as fully stable and available via one-click plugin updater, it is recommended you test on a development site or make a full backup before using this version.

Thread comments
  • New: A more streamlined way to create, connect and reply to threads in the newly renamed "Post to forum" meta box. These actions all work the same way as before, except now you can schedule and run any action after a new post in WP is published. Read more here.
  • Enable automatic thread creation on publish in WP admin > XF > Thread comments > Create thread (can still disable on a post by post basis)
  • Minor UI tweaks to Thread comments admin settings + post meta templates
User syncing
  • New: A change to user validation on signup. Instead of stopping users from registering if the username or email already exists on XF, this version will gracefully connect the new WP user to the XF account, so long as that account isn't already connected to another user.
    • As a last resort, if a duplicate username is found and that user is already connected to a WP account, a random number between 1-50 will be added to the end of the new username and registration will proceed.
  • Clear custom user fields from XF profile is user is disconnected from WP
  • Fix: Password changed from BuddyPress profiles now sync back to XF (thanks to BuddyPress team for hearing our patch request)
  • Fix: Enhanced product purchase detection in MemberPress integration
  • Fix: Enhanced registration detection in WooCommerce integration
Developers
  • Add post types that can auto-create threads with the new xfwp_post_types_auto_post filter
  • Creates XFWP_Data class to hold plugin settings data, easily accessible sanitize methods.
  • File reorganization (filters.php, strings.php moved to /lib/)
NOTE: During this short testing phase, XFtoWP 1.4.2 is not yet available as an official update from the Plugins panel. You can download Release Candidate 1 from your account area and manually upload the plugin zip folder to your site. Since this is not an official version, it is recommended you make a backup or install the plugin on a test site first.

Please report any feedback to the XFtoWP support forums.

    • During user registration, checks XF to ensure duplicate username and email are not processed
  • Fix: {username} variable now parses again in sent alerts * facepalm *
  • Removes forum URL from “duplicate username/email” messages (too many plugins don’t allow HTML here)
  • Removes too-early validation on user submitted register data, allows wp_insert_user to handle natively in next step
  • Fixes issue that unsaves thread data after updating a post later
  • Fixes minor UI glitch on certain Thread actions meta box conditions
Thank you for working with this extended beta over the holidays. The final version of XFtoWP 1.4 has only one change:
  1. Ensures thread actions select box in post editor works on Android mobile
The file path to overwrite XFtoWP templates in your child theme has changed. To edit any template safely from your child theme, recreate the file path from the plugin in your child theme and copy the contents here. For example:

To edit a core template:

/wp-content/plugins/XFWP/comments/comments-list.php

Recreate the file path in your child theme as such:

/wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME_NAME/XFWP/comments/comments-list.php

This feature has existed since v1.0, but the file path is being updated to prevent potential theme conflicts. If you've already overwritten a core template, simply restructure your files to match the new custom path.
  1. Now loads plugin integrations to more reliable plugins_loaded action hook
  2. Fixes potential warning message if no WP user ID found on WooCommerce purchase
Note: XFtoWP 1.4 is coming soon! Check the XFtoWP forums (logged-in customers only) for a sneak peak of the new features.
XFtoWP 1.3 is now marked stable and officially ready for all licensed customers to update! Read the first changelog entry here for a rundown of the new features and changes.

This stable release adds two minor changes found since the Release Candidate phase, so if you are using this version you should update to fully stable by downloading and updating the plugin files to your site.

The plugin auto updater is available if you are upgrading from 1.2 or lower.

Disclaimer: Release Candidate status indicates the plugin is reliable to upgrade from version 1.2.x and features are expected to work as intended. It is still possible, though unlikely, changes and bug fixes may be made before this release is marked stable. When in doubt, always make a backup before upgrading important plugins.
