Description
When you create a new blog post, it creates identical (title, content) topic in selected forum and keeps synchronizing these entries. New comments under the Post will be automatically posted as replies under the connected (cross-posted) Topic and vice versa (new replies of this Topic will be automatically posted as comments under the connected Post). In case if you already have a Blog Post with some comments, it’ll crossposts the post and all comments once you enabled crossposting for this post.

Hi, I’ve seen some screenshots where an Editor can select the cross-post option when editing/submitting a post. Is there also an option so that ALL posts are automatically cross-posted to the forum by default, without a user selecting the cross-post option manually for each post?
The reason for this request is that on my site posts will be submitted via WPForms (see link below), and they would therefore not have access to the WordPress back-end.
https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-install-and-use-the-post-submissions-addon-in-wpforms/
Hi,
You can create an auto cross-posting rule below. Choose the Post Category and the target Forum to enable automatic post to topic cross-posting. Once the auto cross-posting rule is created and enabled, all future posts (not old) in selected category will be cross-posted as topics in according forums. These rules work for manually created posts as well as for auto-generated posts.
If you want to cross-post old posts just use the [Synchronize] button. It’ll find all non-cross-posted posts of selected category and cross-post to according forum as topics.
Would this hurt SEO on the main page?
Hi,
Please check out the following two topics. The same question is described there:
https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-blog-cross-posting/will-cross-posting-afect-seo/
https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-blog-cross-posting/can-i-add-canonical-url-to-forum-cross-posting/
Hello,
I would like to know If i can restrict the duplication to specific post (like a specific category of post) ?
Regards
Hi,
Could you please rephrase your question?
Can I choose to cross post only some articles based on their category?
Can the addon synchronize already posted blogposts?
Hi,
Yes sure, the addon has such a feature.
Is possible to disable comments on the blog post, but show the replies from the forum? I’d like to force users to submit all comments and questions to the forum and not the post.
Hi,
The wpForo – Blog Cross Posting addon offers synchronization options for both Blog Comments to Forum Replies and Forum Replies to Blog Comments, allowing you to configure them according to your preferences.
But if comments are closed (checkbox in WP post to “Allow Comments” is unchecked), do the new forum replies get added to the post comments?
Yes, If you don’t want to cross post to forum posts to blog comments you should use the addon’s “Forum Reply to Blog Comment synchronization” option.
If we we restrict a specific forum to only usergroup A, but a blog post is crossposted into the restricted forum, do any of the forum usergroup restrictions affect the ability to view and post comments on the blogpost?
For example will usergroup B, who normally cannot view or post replies into the restricted forum be able to view and comment on the post?
Hi,
The comments will be posted under the blog, but those won’t be cross-posted if the person who leaves a comment doesn’t have permission to view forum posts.
Hi. Does the add.on count and display how many Reviews a member has written in total? for example, can the add-on display : Max Zimmermann (299 Reviews)
Hello,
In the screenshots I see the option to crosspost ‘posts’ or ‘pages’. Is is possible to crosspost custom post types like ‘Events’ from the Modern Event Calendar plugin?
Best Regards,
Bas
Hi Bas,
Yes, sure the wpForo – Blog Cross Posting addon supports Event Calendar plugin.
Hello, I have a question about the Blog Cross Posting Addon.
If I understand it correctly, all blog posts are automatically posted to the forum with the help of the addon – as a topic in selected forum.
So far so good.
What happens when comments are made in the forum? Are these comments then also synchronized with the blog post? So the comments & replies made in the forum are also displayed in the blog post? And conversely, are comments made in the blog post also displayed in the forum?
And what happens if an update is made in the blog post? Will the update (new content, new images, etc) also be displayed/added to the forum?
Thanks
Hi Hulu,
Yes sure, the comments under the blog post and the forum replies are synchronized. New comments under the Post will be automatically posted as replies under the connected (cross-posted) Topic and vice versa (new replies of this Topic will be automatically posted as comments under the connected Post).
You just need to correctly configure the options below:
1. Blog Comment to Forum Reply synchronization
2. Forum Reply to Blog Comment synchronization
Well, plugin just shat itself after new update, topic about it is waiting in moderation since 3 days.
hello, would it be a problem for google to have the same topic on both the blog and the forum page?
Hi as,
Blog—Blog Post
Forum—Topic
They are different things.
I am seeking to link a forum to a blog post. Instead of having each topic linked to a blog post can I link a forum or sub-forum?
Rob,
No, that cannot be done, only Blog Post To Topic and Comment to Forum Post.
Hello, is there a way to “promote” forum posts to become blog posts? So for example if someone makes an interesting forum post could an administrator create and link a WordPress blog post to it in an automated way, even if the original poster wasn’t a blog editor?
Hi Wilson,
wpForo Blog Cross Posting addon only cross posts WordPress Posts, comments to wpForo Topics, replies.
Hi, if I disable WP comments in WP>Discussions setting…
– will be also Forum topic created with link in the post to the forum topic and in forum link to the post?
They are different category names for Forum and Post…
– What happens if I create a post with post category “A” and forum does not have this category?
– after a post and forum topic is created, can I manually change forum category? Will the cross-posting still working?
– Can I disable cross-posting for some posts/category?
thanks regards
Michal
Hi,
What happens to images and embed videos from the blog post ? Do they also appear on the forum ? Or do I need the additional “wpforo embed plugin” for that ?
Will the members of the forum who have chosen to receive an email for each new message, receive an email for the publication of a message on the blog and forum?
Hi lepalois,
If the user is subscribed to get email for new topics in the forum, he will get email if the topic has been created by the cross posting addon.
If I have two separate WordPress sites, one hosting a blog and the other hosting the WPforo forums, would this add on work to sync between the two sites/databases? Or, does the blog and forums need to be hosted on the same WordPress instance for this to work?
Hi ST,
All plugins of current WordPress installation only see the current WordPress database, there is no way to force other database connection inside the Cross Posting addon. They should use the same database.
Hello,
I have a private membership website and I would like to know if this plugin can syncrhonize comments posted on courses with my forum ?
I’m using Thrive Apprentice for the courses, on each lesson there is a comment section where people can ask questions.
Hi Adrien, I have the same usecase. Did you try the addon and most importantly: Didi it work?
Yes, it works
Hi Adrien,
I’m sorry, but we don’t have experience with such cases and solutions. I have no idea if it’ll work for your case.
Yes, it works
Hello,
I just want to confirm if I understood correctly.
When I write a blog post using this feature, the same post will appear under the forum category I specified, right?
I can also replace the comment field at the bottom of the Blog post with the forum field and when there are any user comments under this post on the forum or blog, both will appear.
My website is built with Elementor and I’m already using your plugin. I assume this feature supports Elementor.
Thank you
Yes
The comment section cannot be replaced. But the replies left in the cross-posted topic will be also displayed as comments under the Blog Post and vice versa.
The features of this addon doesn’t have any connection to the Elementor, so they work fine without any conflict.
Thank you for info
HI
I want to switch my large xenforo forum to wpforo. I will cerlainly use Wpforo in a dedicated wordpress install.
I want to know if it’s possible to use wpForo – Blog Cross Posting with 2 wordpress installs.
Let me explain : first install is the real blog with posts and comments and second install is the WordPress dedicated to forums.
I hope I’m clear and I’m ready to pay for a custom plugin able to do that.
Thanks a lot
Hi Jerome,
I’m sorry but the addon only works with its own WordPress database, it cannot access to other databases. However you can contact gVectors Custom Addon Development Team via sales[at]gvectors.com email address.
Hi, we have a news website (sport) and we wanted to automatically publish posts from that site (news website) to other site (wpforo). It’s possible? maybe via feed
thanks
Hi Davide,
I’m sorry but you cannot do a cross-site cross-posting. There is no way to do this even with the feed.
hello
could you make an integration witch we could use cross posting with blog in buddypress pro and peepso pease
i mean when a user post a blog article, this article is on forum too
I note that the plugin will cross-post images in various resolutions, from thumbnail up to full size.
Does it also permit cross-posting of video content?
Hi westats,
Please let me know what do you mean saying video content. Is it a YouTube link or an uploaded and attached MP4 file? wpForo doesn’t support video URL embedding features, so they’ll be displayed as a simple link. You might need one or both addons:
Do we need to purchase the plugins every year? or are they one time prices?
We might lose the support after a year, but we will still be able to use the plugin, right?
All our products subject yearly license for future updates. You can continue to use the copy of addon you have for live-time, but you’ll not receive updates. The activation is only designed for getting updates it doesn’t limit any function or feature in the addon until it become incompatible with a new version of WordPress or The main plugin (wpForo, wpDiscuz). Please read the license agreement here: https://gvectors.com/terms-and-conditions/#gaining-download-access
In case you want to renew the license, you should buy the same addon in order to get new activation key. If you buy the same addon you’ll get 30% discount at checkout page automatically as a returning customer. Just make sure you’re logged in with your customer account.
I really like this plugin.
If i post image on the forum will it use the image automatically as a featured image on the blog and does it preview the featured image in the category?
There is no way to cross-post a forum topic to a blog post, so there is no way to do the same with a featured image as well. Please read this addon description, it only cross-posts blog posts to forum topic, not vice versa. Only the replies and comments can be cross-posted in both ways.
Can I manually set the theme for a post? For example, if I have a product and a product review post, I want to link comments, can I do that?
Hi Artyom,
This addon allows you to automatically create a forum topic based on the corss-posted article in the forum. The comments will be synched with the topic replies. There is no any setting or option for themes.
Hi there, I see it is possible to set up automatic cross-posts based on blog categories, is it also possible to set up automatic cross-posts based on a blog’s tags?
Hello!
i´m very interested in this addon. Actually guests are allowed to leave comments on articles (aksimet is great!), but in wpForo only registered users are allowed to post.
Does the crosspost addon works for me with guest posting in articles and then shown with crossposts in forums?
Thank You!
Thx, it works very well! For the forums i want to leave it only for registered user to make posts/topics, but guest can posts comments.
Hi Highlander,
Yes it does. BTW, wpForo allows guest posting as well. Please read this post:
https://gvectors.com/how-to-enable-guest-posting-on-wpforo-wordpress-forum-plugin/
Has there been any change to this to allow to go in the other direction: copy forum content to website/blog ? Any visibility of when it will be available, if ever? I have found a plugin that does this for another forum but I would prefer to use your system. Thanks.
I’m sorry, but this change has not been made yet, and I have no ETA.
You can contact to gVectors Custom Development team and ask them to add this feature in the addon. They’ll assess the service price and let you know. you can contact them via sales[at]gvectors.com email address.
Does it mean you have no plan to add that feature but will be available only for a custom order?
Your pricing policy is too high.
When will you get down to a normal price?
Hi Erdinç,
Thank you for your interest in wpForo addons. We’ve added hundreds of important and essential features in the free wpForo plugin so in most cases our users don’t need any addons. In case you need some addon, you can get them with discounts according to our Sale Packs: https://gvectors.com/gvectors-store-discounts-sale-packs/
The addon prices of popular WordPress plugins starts from $40, for example the Ultimate Members plugin. Another example is Yoast SEO plugin, its addons start from $69. You can even see prices from $150 for WooCommerce addons. wpForo addons prices starts from $11 up to $35. We don’t have any addon with more than $35 price, most of our addons prices are just $25. As you can see the highest price of our addons is lower than the start price of other plugins addons. That’s why we always say the wpForo addons prices are the most reasonable prices.
Hello, is this addo working with custom post types ? I would like to use it with posts made with the BP Docs plugin.
Thanks.
Hi Eric,
Yes, this addon can also be used for custom post types.
If I purchase a single site licence, for the advertised price, is that a one off sale, or is it an annual subscription ?
Hi Robert,
All our products subject to yearly license for future updates.
However, you’ll still be able to use the version you have for an unlimited time. Please read the license agreement here:
https://gvectors.com/terms-and-conditions/#gaining-download-access
Okay, I have read that. What would the yearly license cost, also will it work with the Facebook Comments plugin I have installed ?
It costs $25.00.
If the Facebook Comments plugin is a native WordPress comment system, then it’ll work fine.
Hi. We want to have a forum for only selected posts. Is this possible? to be selective about the posts that have forums? Thanks
Michael Guthrie,
We don’t follow you well. You can choose the post that should be cross-posted to the forum.
Is it working in both ways? if i post a topic will create a blog post in wp? i have a forum to put incidences and then they will go in a blog category when they are approved. Thank you
As far as only high-level users (authors, admins) have permission to create posts, there is no way to cross-post from forum to blog post. You can only cross-post from blog post to the forum.
I want to know if what I think is possible.
1. The guest selects the A-category to create a post (using the Guest Post Plugin).
2. Auto cross posting automatically sets the A-category of the post to Forum A.
So, are guest-written posts automatically registered for the forum A?
In other words, I would like to check if it is possible for the guest to write on the front end.
Hi Tayo,
Actually the posts written by guests will be crossposted in the forum once the admin approves the post. However the topic author will set as admin, but not the guest.
The wpforo must have access(‘can creat topic’) when writing the topic. If a guest without this access writes a blog, will the topic be published automatically? Or should guests have this access in forums?
Yes. Once the admin approves the post, it’ll be automatically cross-posted to the forum. As I’ve already mentioned the name of the topic author will be admin, but not a guest.
I would like to designate ONE particular forum topic to allow my members to post a speciic type of post (their case experienaces) on my blog through the forum. So they would make the post in the forum topic, but it would auto published (or come up for moserators approval for blog posting). Is that a possible feature.
Hi Pamela Schminke,
We’re really sorry, but wpForo Blog Cross Posting addon doesn’t have such an option. It couldn’t be added for security reasons as the only authors, admins (high-level users) have permission to create posts.
SINGLE SITE LICENCE FOR PERMANENT. WE CAN UPLOAD VIDEO THERE USER CAN ONLY WATCH THE VIDEO .CAN NOT DOWNLOAD. THIS OPTION IS THERE OR NOT.
Hi RAVI,
Your question doesn’t have any relation to wpForo – Blog Cross Posting addon. This addon is designed to synchronize website/blog content with forum content. I may suggest you check out the “wpForo Advanced Attachments” addon.
Hi, i have big forum based on posts [post_type = topic, reply, attachment, etc] and his postmeta. I decide use your wpforo, and i want syntonize or import all to your wpforo.. now queston, with your blog corss posting will be possible? what problems can arise? thank u very much in advance for your answer!
Hi zayo,
Please note the wpForo – Blog Cross Posting is not an importer tool. It just allows to synchronize website/blog content with forum content. If you want to migrate your forum and the old software is included in the list of available migration, you can use the Go2wpForo tool. Otherwise, you should contact professional forum migration services for custom migration. We only recommend gConverter or ProfProjects services for such projects. They have already done hundreds of forum to wpForo migration projects with the best result.
Hi, thank you for your answer, ok, but i can us it for synchronize? After install plugin and configure it, then all post_type = topic, reply, attachment, etc can appear on wpforo like topics, replies, atc.. ?
Hi zayo,
Sure you can.
Hi,
Is there an easy way to have only one topic created per article with multiple categories selected?
I have selected all categories in the “Auto Cross Posting” setting-page
Hi Soesanto Bosari,
I’m really sorry, but there is no way to do this yet.
For farter support please always use the wpForo Blog Cross Posting forum: https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-blog-cross-posting/
Hi,
if a user is a forum moderator, can approve post submitted like comment (in waiting of moderation on wordpress) and than copied on forum, also if the forum moderator have a differente wordpress role like author?
Hi Giacomo,
Yes, wpForo forum plugin has a feature to keep topics and cross-posted replies in moderation and let moderators approve those. wpForo moderators are admin users. If you want admins to have permissions to moderate topics and replies you should attach Author User role to Moderator Forum Usergeoup in Dashboard > Forums > Usergroup admin page.
Is this true even if i use custom wordpress roles for the moderator forum usergroup?
Yes, it’s true.
I understand that when I create a new post, I have the option to create a topic automatically under the forum that I choose. But is it work the other way around? If I create a topic will iI get the option to automatically create a post?
I’m sorry but not yet.
Current available cross-posting directions are:
1. Blog Post to Forum Topic
2. Post Comments to cross-posited Topic Replies
3. Cross-posited Topic Replies to according Post Comments
In other words, it creates new topic in forum according to your blog post, then it synchronize comments of that blog post with the cross-posted topic replies in two ways. New replies in topic will be cross-posted under blog post as comments and vice versa. But the blog post to forum topic only available one way.
Hi. Is there a rel canonical tag added to forum topic? I’m wondering if duplicating content on 2 different url-s wont be treated as duplicate content by G.
Hi Dom,
I’m sorry but I’m not an SEO expert, so I can’t say an exact answer here. However, I can say that it’s not required to have a duplicated cross-posted content in Blog and in Forum. You can change the content of first post content of cross-posted topic (make it just an intro of the main blog post, or something else), you can disable Forum to blog cross-posting and only enable blog to forum cross-posting (move some engagement from blog to forum), so all topics and replies will be unique in Forum topics and in Blog Posts. Also, people will start opening new topics and new discussions, this will bring more unique content for website SEO.
To support what Dom said here, it would be ideal if the synced post/forum topic had a canonical link set to one or the other. Not only does it help with duplicate content but it would help with crawl budget as well. It would be ideal to have that feature from an SEO standpoint.
Hi Kalee,
Nice idea. Please create a new topic in gVectors Support > wpForo Blog Cross Posting forum and add tag “new features”. We’ll add this in our to-do list.
Has the canonical been implemented yet? I’d prefer the blog post for seo but the forum post for interaction with community members therefore it would be good to have the canonical option set on the forum.
I’m sorry but not yet. We’ll add soon during the next month.
That’s great to hear it’s being added, Tom! I’m going to keep an eye out for it and make the addon purchase at that time.
Is WPDiscuz required for cross-posting? It seems that the WPForo, WPForo-Cross-Posting, and WPDiscuz can all be integrated together but I do not understand how WPDiscuz is involved.
Hi Phil,
The cross-posting add-on is designed to synchronize website/blog content with forum content. When you create a new blog post, it creates identical (title, content) topic in the selected forum and keeps synchronizing these entries. New comments under the Post will be automatically posted as replies under the connected (cross-posted) Topic and vice versa (new replies of this Topic will be automatically posted as comments under the connected Post).
No, the wpDiscuz is not required. The wpForo – Blog Cross Posting addon works without the wpDiscuz plugin as well. wpDiscuz is just a commenting plugin you can use to improve the commenting system of your website.
Please clarify this statement “When you create a new blog post, it creates identical (title, content) topic in the selected forum and keeps synchronizing these entries”
When you say “title, content”, does it copy all the blog content as a forum topic?
Hi Victor Ashiedu,
It means that it connects the Blog Post with Forum Topic and Blog Comments with according Forum Topic Replies. See the screenshot below:
https://www.screencast.com/t/oerkJbTKex4q
When I install the plugin and add this add-on how does website/blog content with forum content work with existing blog posts? Do I have to manually enable blog comment / forum integration for all old and existing posts?
Victor Ashiedu,
You can also cross-post existing posts. In this case, you’ll just need to use the [Synchronize] button. It’ll find all non-cross-posted posts of selected categories and cross-post to according to the forum as topics.
https://www.screencast.com/t/TP7yFrM3rzb
Hi, i can link more blog post to the same forum topic?
I need to have the same topic in a forum for multiple blog post. it’s possibile o i can simple insert a link at the bottom of my posts to the same topin in forum?
Hi Giacomo,
Thank you for your interest in wpForo – Blog Cross Posting add-on!
I’m sorry, but the add-on doesn’t have such a future.
Ok, thanks
Is it only copying the post text or also the whole post page with styling?!
Is it possible to import existing/old posts and its comments?
Hi Kailaash Balachandran,
Thank you for your interest in the wpForo – Blog Cross Posting addon and for contacting us.
Yes, sure. You just need to enable cross posting for the current post.
Can I set the destination forum for cross posting?
Hi Peter,
yes, sure you can select the target forum for the current post.
Hi. I would like to use this addon with your wpDiscuz plugin. What happens when someone replies on the comment and starts a new branch of comments on wpDiscuz? How’s that displayed on the forum?
Also, in a forum topic if someone replies on another comment what happens on wpDiscuz? Is it displayed there as a reply in a new branch of comments or as a totally new root comment?
Hi power505,
Thank you for your interest in our add-ons!
For now, it’ll just be synchronized with forum replies. We’re planning to add a new Threaded Layout very soon and it’ll support threaded synchronization.
Yes, it’ll be displayed as a reply in a new branch of comments.
Is it possible to publish separate entries of one category in a separate thread on the forum? For example, the category “Cats” in the sub-forum on the forum “Cats”, Dogs in another and so on?
Would it be possible for this plugin to just show a link to the forums above or below the blog postt and show a reply count (Ie how many comments are posted in the forum for that article)
It shows direct link to cross-posted topic. And the number of the topic replies matches to the number of current blog post comments:
