I believe if his does it already that may be the best option.

They all do it.. the api from @xfrocks and also xenword.

Apparently they both seen a need for it.

All I keep hearing from you guys is "Why would you want that?"

If you had read just a few posts up you would see how it is being utilized.

I think what people ultimately want is the rich content of WordPress posts and Xenforo comments in both Wordpress and Xenforo.

Ultimately, this is why I chose to use XenPorta articles to replace WordPress entirely in lieu of any WordPress bridge since I can host the rich content as an article directly in Xenforo with Xenforo comments.

Note, since I've had to migrate content from WordPress in a semi-automated fashion, here is what I do:

Use HTML Tidy to convert HTML from a rendered WordPress page (for the content div) to plain elements (no CSS or attributes)
Replace angle brackets (html) with square brackets (bb code)
Replace h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 with appropriate size bb code
Replace a elements with url bb code
Strip unsupported html elements (e.g. thead, tbody- I keep table, tr, th which are supported by Editor and BB Code Manager add-on)

The result is is nearly identical content in Xenforo. Your add-on could do something similar.

I elected to simply use the wordpress rss feed (with some modifications to include featured image) and import them in using the built in xenforo feeder.

Actually, this is a very good way to pull in WordPress. Even the TablePress tables transfer over if you are using Editor & BB Code Manager. The only thing lost is the featured image which you have to add back manually, although there is probably a way to include that in the RSS feed.

Add to functions to get featured image.

Code:

function featuredtoRSS($content) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$content = '<div>' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'large', array( 'style' => 'margin-bottom: 15px;' ) ) . '</div>' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
 
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'featuredtoRSS');

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'featuredtoRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'featuredtoRSS');

Perfecto

. Do you know of any way to increase the # of posts included in the RSS feed? Also, any way to create RSS for pages (not posts)? If so, you would save me hundred of hours moving over content.

Functions...

Code:

// Add pages to RSS feed
add_filter('request', 'feed_request');
function feed_request($qv){
    $rss_post_types = array('post', 'page');
    if(isset($qv['feed']) && !isset($qv['post_type']))
        $qv['post_type'] = $rss_post_types;
    return $qv;
}

You are my new best friend...if this works

I already went down that path. I used Xpress for 4 days and realized that would never suit my needs.

Xenword has twice as many features compared to Xpress and Xpress has zero intention of adding features that are included in xenword.

I asked for a refund for Xpress ( I have NEVER asked for one before on ANY script) and of course was denied.

So now I am left in the crossroads with a script that will never suit my needs (xpress) and a script I cant use (xenword)

150.00 down the tubes.

Thanks for the feedback on that add-on. Won't waste my time looking at it.

This worked like a charm - I imported my entire WordPress site (299 pages/posts) including images and tables into XF using just the built-in RSS Feeder. You saved me $70 for an add-on. Let me know where I can send the money to buy you a case of beer

I was thinking of you the other day. I am glad this worked out.

Hello. After buying the license, I had access to downloading the product to the site http://www.tuxreports.com/ Now your project has moved to another domain. My credentials are not suitable for logging into a new site. On my letter, sent to the feedback form on the site www.xendevelopment.com, there is no answer. I ask for help with this problem.

I have been asking for a month with no reply.. Good luck.

I am not even sure why this is allowed to be sold here.

What is even more sad is that on his own board it shows

@LPH last seen Yesterday at 4:39 PM (Would make it Sept. 4) and he has elected to ignore all messages/requests on his board.

Another fine example of a developer taking peoples money and running off.

Maybe this will help the manufacturer

I accidentally bought two licenses (ya was stupid on my end) awhile back and ask for one refunded and never got a response

Ozzy47 · Sep 7, 2018

I would suggest to anyone considering purchasing this or any addon by this developer to read this:

LPH said:
Correct. Support is going away. There is no need for me to spend 4-5 hours a day any longer on this product. It's been replaced by another. And after 5 years, I cannot be any happier.

License holders for years know that I continue to work on my product, at my own pace. Again. AT MY PACE and not yours or anyone else's demands. After all, no sales have happened for 5 months. And real license holders know where to post. And it ain't here.

Goodbye, XenForo.
