ThemeHouse released this add-on a few months ago, and it's a bridge between XenForo and WordPress. As far as I'm aware, this is the only WordPress bridge that is on XF2, and potentially the only blog add-on on XF2. Unfortunately, it looks like the wide majority of developers have still not updated to XF2. It's $69.95, which might be a little pricey, but it definitely looks awesome. You can view the demo here. It matches your WordPress blog to whatever your XenForo style is.

What do you guys think of this add-on? Are any of you using this on a live forum?
 
I believe there is one more bridge for XenForo 2.0 and Wordpress. I'll have to take a look when I get home.

Personally, I like having everything under one software. If I don't have the option built into core, I'll build it myself or hire someone to do it. I've created a CMS system with XenForo where it has a homepage on the root domain (no subfolders or subpages), blog, and forums. So something like XPress doesn't interest me.

However, that's without saying, I have looked into the addon and it does seem to do a great job at what it does.
 
Definitely seems like a high price, but I suppose if you want to use both WordPress and xenForo, you'll pay it especially when there's not much competition right now.

It certainly seems like add-on updates for XF 2.0 are coming along very slowly in general though.
 
I think they may have struck gold here, but then again, soon others will make a cheaper version I think. That's the problem when you immediately price something high you have a monopoly on at the moment.

I know there were a few options on XF1, but this was the only option for XF2 that I found. So far, I've been amazed as far as how simple the add-on is. ThemeHouse did an incredible job with it.

Yeah, I was hesitant to make such a big investment on one add-on, but I think it's worth it as far as being able to use WordPress. I looked for alternatives, and there's not much of anything with XF2.

I agree. It seems like ThemeHouse is making a fortune with their premium styles and add-ons, especially since the release of XF2.
 
Anyone name a good example website using this WordPress thing?
