Yet Another ‘Can’t log in’

    • WP w3all phpBB:?2.7.6

    Hello, I’ve just installed wordpress and plugin. Fresh installation. I have never used phpBB bridge before.

    I am not able to get it working while maintaing the ability to log in to wordpress. I’ve reinstalled multiple times, pruned all configs, and tried both w3all_pass_hash_way settings, 0 and 1.

    The issue is: I’ve create one user (superadmin) in before I installed this plugin (obviously). I can login this user freely, no issues. When I create another user (via registration or in administration), this user can’t login in. WordPress doesn’t warn about bad password (shaky animation in default login admin page), proceeds to login (sending post with password), redirects me but remains unlogged.

    I’ve debugged it promptly and found out I can login only once if I copy&paste password from my superadmin acc to the new account. I’ve noticed password is being altered in wordpress db (wp_users table). But after that the password format changes and I can’t login in second attempt. Format is changed from wp format to bcrypt.

    With w3all_pass_hash_way = 1 password is not being altered, but behaviour reamins same. Immediately after I disable the addon (and reset bcrypt password back to the wp format), everything is all ok.

    What shall I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    The user you go to create is also created into phpBB?

    If yes, have you setup phpBB as required and explained here?

    https://www.axew3.com/w3/wordpress-phpbb-integration-install/

    check that you have read all about the phpBB side and how phpBB cookie settings require to be set, beside all others suggested settings.

    Maybe this is the problem?

    Awesome! I am deeply sorry for taking your time and thankful for your advice. I have skipped reading this manual. Actually I succesfully ignored the plugin’s header, where the info is linked (Install Steps, Help and FAQs | How To and Shortcodes list phpBB | WordPress Integration extension | ?? Support this Plugin). That big green button is too attracting there :).

    Just maybe.. if possible.. may you add red warning “If your forum is on different domain or subdomain, read this!” or something? For future readers as dumb as I am. ??

    Because of having forum od subdomain forum.* it is expected cookies can not work. All set now, all working.. thank you again. Cheers.
