Hey Bikken.    I have been looking at the Joli theme.   I was wondering if I purchased it, could someone port it over to wordpress for me?   Can that be done?

It would need to be mostly rewritten, WP templates are very very different to SMF ones.

Though almost every WP site I'm seen would better benefit from being a forum + portal. If nothing else, it'd run a lot faster as WP is so slow under the hood.
When you want help, I'm likely to ask you questions. It's not because I'm a stubborn pain in the backside, it's because I need that information to actually be *able* to help you. Sooner you provide it, sooner you get help, simple as that.

I'm sure it can be done if you find the right man for the job. But if you mean ported by someone over here? Hmm I doubt it. I'm not going to do it, that's for sure.

To make it easy on yourself, i think you're better off following Arantor's suggestion.

I agree with both. I have learned over the years that a forum with a portal is much better than WP any day. I try WP every few years but I always end up going back to SMF/Simple Portal.

Especially since the theme will require far more maintenance in WP to deal with the various patches it gets...

Right. WP and Joomla update more than I change socks. Anyone that keeps updated and desires to keep their custom theme is in for a full time job.
