  I was pretty tired when I wrote this. I supposed a better title would be:

  Embed Vanilla Comments Outside of Wordpress?

  That's what I'm trying to do and would love to do...

  I guess the functionality isn't presently available. It looks like my best course of action is to adapt the Wordpress Vanilla Forums plugin to suit my needs. I will keep this thread updated if I'm able to make good progress.

  I found this nice little javascript code and it'll be my starting point

  <script type="text/javascript">
  var vanilla_forum_url = '<?php echo vf_get_value('url', $options); ?>'; // Required: the full http url & path to your vanilla forum
  var vanilla_identifier = '<?php echo $post->ID; ?>'; // Required: your unique identifier for the content being commented on
  var vanilla_url = '<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>'; // Current page's url
  <?php if ($categoryid) { ?>
  var vanilla_category_id = '<?php echo $categoryid; ?>'; // Embed comments in this category
  <?php } ?>
  <?php 
  if ($sso = vf_get_sso_string()) {
     echo "var vanilla_sso = '$sso';"; // Single-Sign-On string.
  }
  ?>
  (function() {
      var vanilla = document.createElement('script');
      vanilla.type = 'text/javascript';
      var timestamp = new Date().getTime();
      vanilla.src = vanilla_forum_url + '/js/embed.js';
      (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(vanilla);
  })();
  </script>
