Alright, coming back to that issue that I fixed. The issue that I have resolved was using the SSO from the embedded forum. The issue was that my log in links were secured with ssl (https), and my forum was in an unsecured page (regular http). As soon as I converted the forum page to an https page with WordPress HTTPS plugin, it started working. Working in that I get a login prompt and am taken to the perpetual "Connecting..." From what I read on other solutions, I think now the culprit is something having to do with the way that Vanilla adds users to the database.
As of right now I have a fully functional integrated forum. The solution is described on another post of mine here. In a nutshell, I had to install the wp-vanilla-connect plugin on my Wordpress back end.
