Hi,
Thanks for your reply. So as I thought, using WP_Query directly is impossible here - you are right that the table structure would have to be identical, and I know it isn't. Oh, and the caching plugin, just as you said, I was thinking about reducing the database hits, I wasn't assuming it will change the structure. And the schedule event should help with my second idea, thank you for that.
So one more thing to figure out, the translation. Would you have any suggestions? If I query forum posts and insert them into Wordpress table, there will be problems when trying to use the loop. I would have to somehow translate them before inserting. Or is it possible to do this after inserting and before querying them for the loop?
Thanks for the help.
