Official WP Integration and failure of 3rd Party Plugins

Understanding the world economic outlook of things is rough out there right now, and forum usage has become very niche, but still important for groups like us, I wanted to post this for consideration.

XFtoWP (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xftowp-xenforo-to-wordpress-integration.8161/) , unfortunately, now seems to be abandoned, like a other similar plugins in the past. This is a shame.

We love Xenforo, and we have been using it for over a decade, but it cannot replace WP as a main hosting site. Many websites like ours (https://deadhaussonata.com/) require both WP on the front end, a forum, discord integrations for our community. Continuing to keep things up and running is difficult with constant failure of 3rd Party Plugins to survive.

Has Xenforo considered official integration to website hosting like WP, and other major front end website platforms? Perhaps a universal login/membership protocol to make this easier to bridge other platforms.

Surely, there is some solution to integration problems we and others are experiencing, that make some economic sense. As an example, having a Xenforo forum plugin on the WP marketplace would be a boost adoption for many groups.

The points you raise are either existing suggestions, planned implementation in 2.3, or not relevant as a suggestion for the core software (the WP marketplace plugin).
 
@Paul B Where do I post this then? Frankly, this makes it seem like Xenforo is not listening to move it so quickly like this and have a such a generic reason for the move. Having used the forum software for over a decade, I do think this is reasonable feedback and is addressing a short fall of software.
