So close, but need some help with absolute path!

    I feel as though I followed the instructions to a tee, yet I cannot get the path to take properly it seems. I have my path set to:

    https://www.simsportsglobal.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-config

    I downloaded and edited the config file to match those 9 lines that are within my phpbb config file, deleted the last comment lines, and saved/reuploaded.

    It has to be something small–I’m certain I did the rest of it correctly, right?

    THANK YOU for helping me!

    have you read this?

    If still any problem, maybe load the phpinfo.php to your space and let know the address: after you’ll remove maybe.
    your path will be something like:
    var/www/somethingelsehere/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-config
    depend what return the info that you’ll see doing the above suggested with phpinfo or realpath php functions as explained on posts.
    Further more, your web hosting, should have inform you somewhere what your path of your hosting web space, or should result on there faq or your admin cp.
    Just follow the above and if any problem just repost.

    Thank you! I have it working, but am left with one more question:

    When a new user signs up in phpbb, the account that is cloned to WordPress (not sure exact wording for what actually happens) defaults to them being a ‘subscriber’.

    Can I change what it defaults to? I know I already the feature set in WordPress to make new users ‘contributers’ but something seems to be overriding this.

    This is very easy to configure feature.
    wp_w3all add coming phpBB users as: global_moderators as editors in Wp. Admins as admins, all others as subscribers.
    You instead would like that normal registered users in phpBB, are added in Wp as contributors by default?

    If this the case, you should open:
    addons/ext_plugins_fixes.php

    search for line:
    } else { $role = 'subscriber'; }
    change to
    } else { $role = 'contributor'; }
    the same should be done on file class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php file, where there are two instructions like the above, but maybe you should change only the first one, that inside
    private static function verify_phpbb_credentials()
    or to be more easy, searching with text editor, the first you’ll find on list.

    Is easy to change configuration as you need, maybe adding more switch for various roles between wp and phpBB.

    Look that if you do these modifications, you are notified that registered users in phpBB are added into WP as contributors, with related privileges on WP. That is maybe obvious.
