<p>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!</p>
<p>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!</p>

Only intended for initial forum imports, it clears all current forums before importing due to the initial 0.7.3 db format requirement (users/groups etc. are kept intact) </li>
<li>
Depending on forum size, the PHP memory and exec time requirements can be a bit high </li>

<p>The plugin is based on a modified phpbb import PHP script for bbpress 0.7.3. It uses its own version of bbpress to convert from the initial 0.7.3 bbpress db format to a buddypress compatible one.</p>
