WordPress Blog for Joomla!
I am not overly impressed with this component. I think it needs some work before it is worth the money.

The big problem with this is, why do we buy a product? For me it is to save time to get something done faster and more efficiently.

For me this ended up actually costing me more time to try and work out the bugs.
I ended up just using Joomla as my blog.
I don't feel this truly integrates wordpress into Joomla, because you can't post comments when viewing the Joomla end.

I also think a lot more documentation would be helpful. Right now the only instructions are a small PDF file, which is helpful for getting it installed, but not for actually using everything.

Buy if: You want Wordpress widgets to show in your Joomla Site and either don't care about the look too much, or have lots of time to put into tweaking it.

Don't Buy if: You want something that is publishable out of the box.

Aqua Kitty,

I am sorry that you are dis-satisfied. We are committed to providing our users the best support around - it sounds like there was no questions asked to our support team.

One statement that is false as a user feedback "because you can't post comments when viewing the Joomla end" Comments are in fact done through the backend.

Documentation and video documentation is available: Please see the current releases and please see our video docs: http://vimeo.com/user1502774/videos

We are actively growing in providing information to our end users - as a product that used by hundreds ever day - we have felt the pressure to get this done - only so much time in a day.

Thanks for your comments and I look forward to hopefully changing your decision - please feel free to submit a support ticket at http://support.corephp.com if you have any concerning questions.

Kindest regards,
