"Requested User Not Found" when trying to assign permissions

ale dot axew3 ET gmail dot com

On it’s way! I really appreciate your help with this.

Ok, i expect WP db dump, instead you’ve send me the phpBB db.
I only can presume so from results …
i see, for example, user Angelicca exist with ID as assigned group ID 5, admin group. This user has not been added with WP transfer as the transfer only assign group ID 2 (normal user also if it is admin on WP).
I presume that you have send me a phpBB fresh install dump, where you have only perform users transfer.

Now so, i presume you have a not fresh install.
To fix your Angelicca user, by the way, as you mention on email, if finally this is what you want achieve, you need to just run this query with your phpmyadmin (SQL tab), when into your phpBB db:
INSERT INTO 'phpbb_acl_users'('user_id','forum_id','auth_option_id','auth_role_id','auth_setting') VALUES ('54','0','0','5','0')
this will fix user Angelicca, in a dump like the one you have send me.

ps if still in trouble, just let know: i will send you the modified correct phpBB db dump to insert.

Thank you very much!

Angelicca was the account I had the user create in phpBB, then I assigned it Administrator role in phpBB’s ACP. It’s not broken, so it doesn’t need to be fixed. I did notice that it created a duplicate (a second Angelicca user) in phpBB when I did a transfer (I did that after I sent you the dump).

Silvertoad and Camelfetish are two ID’s that are broken, and were transferred from WordPress.

Would it help if I sent you a wordpress dump as well?

There are TWO angelicca users into your phpBB db: angelicca id 54 and Angelicca id 55, one is normal user, one is admin. id 54 is not present into phpbb_acl_users table so it can’t be ok i presume.
Yes so we will discover where was the problem.
I will see it as soon i can.

Hah, I guess I did the transfer before I took the export after all ??

That’s kind of my point. Some of the users do not get inserted into the ACL table when the transfer is made.

I’m glad you noticed that! Hopefully it will lead us to the solution. I’ll go ahead and send over the wordpress export as well.

On your wp dump, there is only one user Angelicca.
On your phpBB dump you have instead:
Angelicca and angelicca. Two different users. One start with A other with a lowercase.
angelicca has been added before into phpBB as it is NOT present into WP dump, and have problems due to the fact his ID isn’t present into phpbb_acl_users. The way to solve is the one i have answer above.
run that exact query as is. WIll fix correctly angelicca with userid 54.

It is not a wp_w3all problem about transfer that do not work.

The user Angelicca present into WP db, is correctly added into phpBB.
The two users have in phpBB same username Angelicca (used as nik name by phpBB, but not as username login). But different username-login: Angelicca and angelicca.
The username angelicca will be added into WP when will login first time.

Makes sense on the Angelicca account.

What about the two users who didn’t get added to the phpbb_acl_users table? Any idea why that would happen?

the only one that isn’t added is the user verladainecyn as i can see. So you can add it manually as the only idea come out to me is that you have not complete the transfer, but i’m sure you have complete it.

Just add it manually into phpBB (also if it result very strange that all users have been correctly added, excluding verladainecyn: there is no reason).

I should reproduce installing dump to a wp, but i’m not able to do this right now: you can solve adding this unique user manually to phpBB…

I will take a look as soon and will answer about last transferred user not inserted, but all should work ok.

Thank you for your help, axew3! I really appreciate it!

and we have fix another little bug in the while… i will try tomorrow to pass wp users into a wp install and do a transfer. I’m +- sure all will be ok.

To solve your situation by the way to resume, just:
into your phpmyadmin (SQL tab), when into your phpBB db, execute this query:
INSERT INTO ‘phpbb_acl_users'(‘user_id’,’forum_id’,’auth_option_id’,’auth_role_id’,’auth_setting’) VALUES (’54’,’0′,’0′,’5′,’0′)
so the user angelicca will be fixed if it is not.
Register manually the strange missed verladainecyn into phpBB … he was out doing something else while user transfer process!? ??

Think was solved… if not just post!

It’s not, unfortunately, but I’m starting to think it’s something strange with my web host.

I deleted my phpBB database once again and reinstalled phpBB, then performed a transfer. The same users that were failing before failed again (when i say ‘failed’, I mean cannot be managed in phpBB permissions), so I think there’s got to be something strange about their accounts. I think if it really were an issue with the transfer, it wouldn’t work with any users and it does with a few.

At this point I think I’m going to have my users manually create accounts to match those on our WP site.

reproduced on my localhost … exactly what you described …. very strange that the user angelicca is added TWO times! There is only one angelicca into WP dump… looking for the evil … let me reverse the thing …. what crazy…
