Sometimes you want to have placed a written Xenforo thread on your Wordpress site.
Actually the reverse order :)
Maybe this option already exists but I can not find it.

I now use this widget. But when I click on a link it opens in the Xenforo forum and not in Wordpress.

Yes. The recent threads sidebar widget is designed to open in XenForo.

Are you suggesting a featured thread should show in the sidebar?

No, actually the possibility to promote a thread to a Wordpress message created by a member of the Xenforo forum. As you can post a message for example from Xenforo on Facebook.
But I think a Xenforo addon is needed here.

If i understand correctly you would like the following:

OPTION 1

1) Member creates a thread on XenForo.
2) That thread is displayed in a sidebar (widget) on the wordpress side.

OPTION 2

1) Member creates a thread on XenForo.
2) That thread is displayed in a sidebar on the wordpress side.
3) When that thread is clicked on in the sidebar it takes you to a post on the WordPress side?

If Option 2 was the case, there would have to be a feature that would create a WordPress post for each thread (or specific threads) created on the XenForo side. This does not exist at the moment.

Correct me if im wrong.

Option 1 is the way it works now.

Option 2 is very nice.

Option 3:
If I create a post in Wordpress. The complete message automatically placed in a Xenforo forum. That's perfect!
Only the admin and moderators of Xenforo can post on Wordpress. Not the members.
But if a Xenforo member on the forum puts an interesting post, I want to put that post automatically on Wordpress.
I hope you understand me. It is now one-way traffic from Wordpress to Xenforo.

Option 3 code partially exists in 3.2. The challenge is making sure there isn't a circular feature. The thread is written to WordPress, which writes to XF.

Yes, I completely understand you would want to "promote" a XenForo thread manually to a WordPress post.

Being able to manually do this would be a good feature, but in that case

This would be done manually by an admin or moderator I'm assuming? Similar to how Bob handles the promote thread to an article in AMS?

Correct!

Doing this manually is no problem, but there must be a possibility to enter the corresponding Xenforo Thread ID.

Correct!
the promote thread to an article in AMS?
What is the name of this Xenforo add-on?

That is why I put the request for suggestions ;)

The trick is using the pull down similar to the mapping page. It'll be connected through the Redux Framework ini. However, I have to figure out how to properly set an origin. It's a huge change in many files.

Is this something like Xenporta?
I apologize I don't mean to derail this thread. Take a look here (https://xenaddons.com/articles/). That is Article Management System. I would recommend it over XenPorta. It's one of the most powerful XF addons i have every used. It's also extremely flexible, not to mentioned written by one of the best XF developers.

Also, this is AMS:
