Problems.

I reverted back to version 3.6.9. When I tried it from the Chrome incognito tab, everything was fine. When I tried it from Edge, the same problem occurred once. This has to do with caching, but…

Is there anything that should be excluded?

Hello Halil, no it is not required to have the phpBB extension installed.

If the user is logged in phpBB and coming in WP it is not logged in, mean that the cookie setting in phpBB maybe is not correct (not recognized by the code on WP because is not available all over the domain)? But i assume your setting is correct, is it an online test or localhost?

.yourdomain.com

3.6.9 of what?

Cookie setting is correct in phpBB. I even updated the cookie name the other day. There is no problem in that part.

Online. Tests in my board.

Yes, when I try from the incognito tab, when I log in to phpBB and then back to WordPress, it seems like I’m not logged in. I refresh the page or click on WP links. Then when I go back to phpBB, it logout there either.

I disabled the cache. There was no problem except that sometimes when I returned to WP with the phpBB redirect (with changes in the url) while logging in, it would sometimes ask to log in to WP again. Then I enabled the caching plugin again and asked it to exclude cookies containing login and wordpress_logged_in. not stable. But, it work. Thanks.

Which cache plugin are you using?

WP Fastest Cache

Yes sorry, i already installed and partially tested days ago…

This is valid suggestion for all caching plugins.

Option:

Logged-in Users Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users

i assume you should activate this option to fix the problem, yes!

This option was always active. I had already seen that you recommended this in the beginning and i implemented.

Well, I think the important question here is: what cookie name does the extension create to match sessions? Maybe…

Do you receive my e-mails? ?? Am I talking too much?

No absolutely ?? and i missed last two notifications emails of this and the other post here.

The WP plugin create a phpBB session when a wp login occur, not the phpbb extension, which if you installed, works on phpbb pnly and do not interfere anyway into phpbb auth flow.

While the wp plugin, create a session using same phpbb names and when the user go into phpbb, the cookie is recognized and the user being logged.

But if the cookie do not match a valid session, stored into phpbb db, then the user is logged out.

Same so goes for wp: if the plugin do not find a matching cookie/session then the logout occur.

I will test again since i am over to 2.7.7 which fix some problem on page forum and forum shortcode and yes i followed with the post to phpBB, even if it seem quite impossible to be achieved, i have find the way but it is a non secure way to execute the task so that i have to return over and see how to workaround to this aspect

Thanks. After making some adjustments to the cache extension, I did not encounter this problem. However, as I have encountered many times, when switching from phpBB to WordPress, it asks me to go to the WP login page and log in again.

It is maybe because the id of the phpbb user, result to be into the bruteforce array: it happen that an ID (user) is added as bruteforced for several reasons and maybe not because it really has been bruteforced, but due to mismatching phpBB session that can occur for several reasons: at this point, a wp logged user is not affected, nor the user that login in WP (it will cause the cleanup of the phpBB user’s id from the bruteforce array in WP), but if the ID result to be existent into the brute force array and the user login in phpBB then come to WP, he will be logged out. To avoid this, you should install the last phpbb extension version and activate the latest added option about WP bruteforce, that cleanup the wp bruteforce id of the user if it exist, when will login in phpBB.
