I wanted to start a site with WP the best blogging software and VB the Best forum software.
After searching at vb.org, I found a bridge which was for vb 3.0. and WP 2.0, I just edited carefully the newer version files, with permission from author Here, I'm releasing this bridge:
Note:
WP Settings:
If you want to do file edits your self then go here
Download the attached files, and you need to edit only the following files, not all.
Edit:wp-rss2.php
Save file.
EDIT file:vb3-settings.php
Save file.
Now upload all files.
Note: I have edited, files for default wp-theme, if you want you can just upload comments.php to any other template it does not matter much if you are bridging it., but do the following changes to single.php only if you are using a different template then default one.
EDIT: file single.php:
Look for:
Replace it with:
Make sure you have your forum path correct there.
Now Upload all files to your wp root
vBulletin Settings:
The RSS feed will not work if you haven't activated RSS External synidcation on your forum. To do this, on your forums admincp, go to vBulletin Options->External Data Provider and check 'Yes' on Enable RSS Syncidcation.
DB Settings:
Run this query:
Upload postfeed.php to your forum root included in the attachment.

Please forgive me if there are any errors or anything left out in package
I'll try and support as much as I can. But cannot guarantee it
EDIT: Upload the new Attached postfeed.php, this was the culprit which was giving errors. This should fix everything.

Note:
- This hack will only work if your WordPress and vBulletin tables are in a single database.
- This hack has only been tested on adding entries directly from the admin panel. It has not been tested on xmlrpc clients.
- Use at your own risk. I will not be held liable for any loss of data nor problems that you might encounter on your site during the whole process of the mod.Backup your files and database(s) before proceeding.

PHP Code:
<wfw:commentRSS>http://www.yoursite.com/forum/showthread.php?t=<?php echo $post->vb_threadid; ?></wfw:commentRSS>
EDIT file:vb3-settings.php
PHP Code:
<?php
// This just holds the vb variables
$vb_bridge = 1; // 1=on 0=off
$vb_forumid = '2'; // forum id to post copy of article
$vb_userid = '1'; // user id to use for posting the article
$vb_username = 'admin'; // name of the user id
$vb_path = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum'; //complete url of forums
