Vanilla forums SSO doesn 't work with Jsconnect

Hello,
I have imported an old installation of vanilla forum (version 2.0.18b2) in wordpress 4.2.2:
I 've installed a fresh vanilla 2.1.6, copied the directory Themes and Uploads,
and imported the old SQL database changing the config.php data and the path to find correctly the forum images.
I 'm using the WP plugin Vanilla forums 1.1.16.
I've embedded Vanilla forum, (it works) and applied all steps I 've read here for SSO
In Vanilla, I had to use the addon Jsconnect 1.0.3 instead of Jsconnect 1.4.1 because this one, got me regex error.
The embedding works but SSO no:
when I log in the main site and then go to the forum , it doesn 't recognize the user,
and what's worse is that the user cannot log in "manually", it doesn't recognize the site password.
moreover, when a logged user click on the forum page gets the following message:
Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): Entity: line 1: parser error : Premature end of data in tag img line 1 in
/htdocs/public/www/wp-content/plugins/vanilla-forums/functions.php on line 355 Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct():
ads/2015/03/*********-avatar.jpg" alt="" height="96" width="96" class="avatar"> in /htdocs/public/www/wp-content/plugins/vanilla-forums/functions.php
on line 355 Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct(): ^ in /htdocs/public/www/wp-content/plugins/vanilla-forums/functions.php on line 355
How can i solve this issue?
thank you

It appears there is some malformed XML input, but I don't know where that leads us.

for jsConnect I recommend to use this unoffical plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-vanilla-connect/
grep is your friend.
I wonder why they are using this fudge (their words not mine) just to get the avatar src, jConnect doesn't use xml itself.
why use
get_avatarwith SimpleXMLElement when there is aget_avatar_urlfunction?grep is your friend.
https://github.com/vanilla/wordpress-vanilla/issues/5
grep is your friend.
I second this.

Hello,
the SSO seems to work with Vanilla 2.1.6 and WP Vanilla connect 1.1.1, also with Jsconnect 1.4.1.
After the login in the main site, selecting the forum page, under the Howdy stranger message,
the name of the user is shown, and a message invite you to sign in the forum.
After clicking the user il logged in. (Actually the avatar is missing, in its place is the Gravatar icon).
By the way, how to recover the user site avatar?
The real problem comes when I import the old .sql. ,Vanilla forum version 2.0.18b2.
After the login, the forum page shows only the Howdy stranger message, and the user isn 't recognized,
also If I try a login, in /entry/password.
Moreover, the Jsconnect connection is missing, and If I try to add again something goes wrong.
Is there a way to import and old database in Vanilla 2.1.6. without big changes?
Thank you
Hello again,
I 've partially solved installing before an old 2.0.18b2 Vanilla forum, importing the old database
and avoiding to import the GDN_user table with old passwords.
This time, I have to use jsConnect 1.0.3b with WP Vanilla connect 1.1.1.
The forum recognizes the users registered in the main site, and after clickin their name, they 're logged in
and added to GDN_user table, that I think it's the right behavior.
Now I want to update it to Vanilla 2.1.6, I 'm following these steps
After running /index.php?p=/utility/update successfully, If a registered user in the main site
clicks on the forum page, he 's recognized, but clicking on its name, the password is required,
and the main site password isn't accepted, so the users can 't login.
Someone has an idea of what is wrong?
Thank you
