WP-SMF-Bridge is a simple user registration and logon bridge between WordPress and Simple Machine Forum. To get this working, it is highly recommended that you have a fresh, unmodified install of SMF 1.1 or higher installed and running alongside an install of WordPress. It must be installed in a subdirectory under your WP install and should not be being accessed through a sumdomain. For example, if your website’s address is mysite.mydomain.com, your forums should be somewhere like mysite.mydomain.com/myforum. Also, WordPress must be able to access your SMF configuration files, otherwise it won’t work!
Please do keep in mind that this is a new plugin, and has not been thoroughly tested yet – and should probably not be used on a production website! I am not responsible for any data loss that might occur through your use of this plugin! Please see the plugin’s website for a bug-tracker and bug reporting system! If you find a problem, let me know about it so that it may be fixed. If you want to see a feature added, let me know about it so that I may add it!
