It would be good to see this with some alternitive WP themes. Is anyone using anything other than the default XPress theme?

this has to share the same cookie in order to use the all in one signup feature. if I want wordpress at mysite.com and xenforo on forum do I have to make sub forum like forum.mysite.com or can i install xenforo in a folder and route the url as mysite.com/forum? Thanks

That's odd, tagging @Lukas W.
Are you 100% certain it's ID #1? If you're working from a fresh XenForo install, and not something migrated from another platform this likely isn't possible as the defaut node ID 1 is a category, and you can't convert from a category to a forum

You were right. 1 is the category. 2 is the board.

Hey team, I know your busy but any luck on the homepage? I opened a ticket and the response I got was pretty generic, set it in the url homepage (that doesn't make it work) and add it to navigation, which it does add; but nothing to do with the homepage. I'm having to deal with the htaccess file to make this work, but no luck. Any info would help because it's ready to go, but cannot be default; just goes to the forums
XenPorta provides a dead simple way to make his a homepage as you can see above.
Doing it with XPress, it doesn't work @Jake B.
I even added a navigation bar (html widget) above the posts; that part was fun (the three button things)

@Jake B. I set the categories to have a board to post in, but they still don't auto post (as well w/ Xpress setting default board)
I still am trying to get mine fixed too. If you fix yours, could you please mention me?

Can't tell from the screenshots alone what's going on. Best to create a ticket on our homepage and we can figure this out together.
I'd also ask you to create a ticket here, so we can look into the matter together. It might be an interfering add-on or related to your setup.

figured it out, but you should update this. updated my htaccess file (but again in previous page), you should make it like how xenporta does. burned about 12 hours of research and testing for this simple line.
2nd note, you must do this to the picture below and /forums in. If blank, it will loop

From my experience, XPress unfortunately does not work well with other WP themes.
I created a support ticket with ThemeHouse and got the following response from @Mike Creuzer: "We never claimed that this would work with WP themes, only XenForo themes." This should be stated and be made clear in the overview.
The XPress theme is a substandard WordPress theme in my opinion.
I'm a very disappointed customer.
But imagine it this way. That is a third party theme. That third-party developer would need to have built that theme to work with XenForo, but that wouldn't make sense as they wouldn't have a bridge. In theory that third-party developer could design a theme and then it would work for XenForo.
If you need a refund, happy to do that. But this product is very specifically a WordPress into XenForo product, NOT a XenForo into WordPress, theme-wise. No one will build this product, as it is simply impossible to do without the third party themes building their theme for XenForo.
With the way we've built it, you can instead have a seamless interface between two products.

@The Wanderer - Not here to through fuel on the fire, but the theme is based on whatever you xenforo theme is
And @Mike Creuzer Which you are correct on. I have WP acting a portal front end, and Xenforo as the primary. The documentation points very well that it's merges the current theme of xenforo, which i'm super amazed by.

The overview should be amended to state the addon will not work with WP themes to avoid further confusion to any potential buyers.
Can the WordPress use theme use Page Builder by SiteOrigin?: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/
Interesting product. Took a little work to get it going but lots of potential. Thank you for making.
- Anyway to remove Blog categories on the front page featured items? Just want a background and title. consider a similar setting to removing the excerpts?
- I want to promote my users' content to feature their work on my front page. Any way to maintain some attribution to the original thread starter when doing this? Currently my account, as an admin with permission to promote an article, puts their thread under my name and immediately publishes to front page upon promotion.
Likewise, is there any step I can take to have the promotion jump me to a non-published wordpress article? I'd like time to edit and fancy things up before it appears on the frontpage.
- Featured articles are ABOVE my sitewide notices and remainder of articles appear below my sitewide notice. How to change to notice remains above the articles for consistency with rest of site? I am using UI.X2 with the notices location set to DEFAULT above main container
- Where do I edit style of article layout and article comments (setting set to show xenforo comments, not wordpress) on front page blog?
Sorry for all the questions but I figured answering these publicly instead of a ticket my help you limit the number of repeat tickets.

It's in the documentation. It's something I always check before buying, but they are always great about refunds
