[Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] Cannot access WP Admin Panel when Bridge is Active

    I installed the WP bridge, no editing of the original code, kept it all as is.
    Set up the location of the config and ucp to the correct locations.

    Once I do that, upon trying to access the Admin Control Panel of WP, I get directed directly to the forum login page.

    Also, upon visiting my WP page, I get logged out of phpbb.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try the followings :

    Create a new user on WordPress with the same credentials as in phpBB and assign this user administrative rules, then activate the plugin.
    OR
    Look at your users and if there is a user with the same username as the one you have on phpBB3 then change his permision to Administrator for WordPress.

    I hope this helps

    I have the same issue. I tried your advice and created the same user with the same password, made that user an admin in wordpress and then performed the following in order:

    1. logged out of my dashboard
    2. logged back in as the new user that matches the phpbb login
    3. activated the plugin and then the bridge

    Now everything I click in the admin panel takes me to my forums login section. If i’m logged out of the forums when I click links in the admin panel in wordpress I get redirected to my forums with this message:

    “You have been successfully logged out.”

    If i’m logged in as the new user I get:

    “You were not logged out, as the request did not match your session. Please contact the board administrator if you continue to experience problems.”

    If I check the wordpress site I’m logged in as admin instead of the new user I created even though before activating the plugin and the bridge I made sure to be logged in as the new user, not admin.

    If I then attempt to log out of admin from the wordpress site I get redirected back to the forums with this:

    “You were not logged out, as the request did not match your session. Please contact the board administrator if you continue to experience problems.”

    I can’t login as the new user until I disable the plugin via the database. Rinse repeat.

    I have a bit of a strange setup so Im curious if this might have anything to do with it. While my forums and wordpress are installed on the same server, the databases are not. The forums use a MSSQL ODBC connection to another server whereas wordpress uses a local MySQL database. Think that might be my issue?

    I attempted it – it doesn’t work. Please, more help is required. :/ I still get logged out as soon as I try to get to the WP-ADMIN page… I login and it takes me straight home.
