and may let know!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I have followed all of the above steps and the login loop is still happening.

In phpBB, allow remember me logins is yes, remember me key expiration length is 0 days. WP cache and phpbb cookies deleted frequently.

I am currently testing this on my local machine before pushing to live server, on a virtual host, dev.mydomain.org. So, phpBB cookie is .dev.mydomain.org (although there is no difference if i use dev.mydomain.org (minus the initial dot)). I have also tried setting this to localhost but makes no different to whether i can log into to wordpress or not.

.dev.mydomain.org
cookie setting NEED TO BE
.mydomain.org
so the phpBB cookie will be available overall the domain/subdomain and also for wordpress into another subfolder.

Since you’re not in iframe (or still not), try to login in phpBB, then load wordpress. What happen, you’re then also logged in wp automatically?

Before to do this, setup phpBB cookie to be available over all the domain, logout from phpBB, clean phpBB cookies (click into link Clean cookie on phpBB frontend page bottom link), then re-login in phpBB. Open wordpress and check if you’re then logged in or not.

Yes, changing the phpBB cookie to .mydomain.org worked perfectly! Thanks ??

Not sure if you’d prefer this as a separate request, but i’d like to link the users (for a single-sign on) but both wordpress users and phpBB users have different id’s. How can i link the two?

Ah, i see they just need the same username. Do they need to have the same password too? Is the hashing of the password different between wp and phpBB?

If you’re installing/logged as wp admin UID 1 the UID 2 in phpBB need to exist. It is not required that the username is the same in this case (unique exception).

WHILE if you’re installing with any other wp user, in phpBB you need that exist a same username/email.

The password at this time is the one of phpBB if differ from WP pass.

Bad English, but all is here and on linked help pages (and inline plugin admin page):

let know if any doubt or you’re still in trouble

i’ve read this after … OK!

I have may not understand the question:
if users register in wordpress side, they are added in phpBB at same time also.

The integration works by usernames, not IDS.

if users register in phpBB, they are added in wp: when they visits wp side, while logged in phpBB, or when they login in wp side (and are already registered in phpBB). To add at same time users in wordpress when users register in phpBB, despite they visit or not at this time wordpress side, there are several ways to achieve this, many tricks are explained with examples into sticky forum posts:

may these tricks should be updated for an improved version, so if any doubt, bug or you need suggestions, just post.
I have misunderstand something on your question?
Just post ??
