Readme

XF WP Bridge

WordPress + XenForo Integration Plugin | Powered by Kiro AI

A free WordPress plugin that bridges your XenForo forum and WordPress site. Sync users, display forum threads, and let users sign in with passkeys (WebAuthn).

Features

  • Display Forum Threads — Show latest XenForo threads anywhere on WordPress via shortcode, classic widget, or Elementor widget. Loads via AJAX (always fresh, bypasses page cache).
  • User Sync — Auto-create XenForo accounts on WP registration. XF users can log into WP with forum credentials. Bulk import in both directions. Matched by email.
  • Post Sync — Automatically create a XenForo discussion thread when a WordPress post is published.
  • Passkey Login (WebAuthn) — Passwordless authentication using fingerprint, face recognition, or security keys. Works cross-platform if WP and XF share a root domain.
  • Forum Login via Passkey — After passkey auth, users are redirected to XenForo and logged in automatically via login token.
  • Frontend Passkey Management — Shortcode [xfwpb_passkeys] lets users register/delete their own passkeys.
  • Modern Admin UI — Clean dashboard with stats, tooltips, connection badge, and a full setup guide built in.

Thread Widget

Works as a shortcode, WordPress widget, or Elementor widget:

[xfwpb_threads]
[xfwpb_threads limit="5" order="latest_posts"]
[xfwpb_threads node_id="3" limit="10" columns="2" style="cards"]

Options

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.8+
  • PHP 7.4+
  • XenForo 2.1+ (REST API enabled by default)
  • XenForo 2.3+ for cross-site passkey support
  • API key with thread:read, node:read, user:read scopes (or All scopes / Super User key for full features)

  1. Download the latest release zip
  2. WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  3. Activate
  4. Go to XF WP Bridge → Settings → enter your XenForo URL and API key
  5. Test connection

API Key Setup

  1. XenForo Admin CP → Setup → API keys
  2. For thread display only: Guest key with thread:read, node:read, user:read

Known Limitations
