Hello:

both the shortcode and the integration by page-forum can run together (as it is at axew3.com as example, the phpBB in the home is a shortcode, while the link forum is the page-forum) .

both require the same code added into the overall_footer.html then overall_header.html if you want to point to the iframe phpBB into WP, any request to the real phpBB url.

Follow each step and you should be up and running in short (read all hints)

Hello. Look, if the wordpress and phpBB installations are working fine, maybe there is no need to check for those problems into htaccess.

You speak about the iframe integration, done using the page-forum?

You get the error anyway you try to access the wp page (this that display with the phpBB iframe inside) or only in some circumstance?

phpBB is with plain default phpBB urls or rewrite links for some Seo?

Can you try to substitute the page-forum.php (or whatever you named it) with the one here? (but i do not have understand if you get the error ever or in some case only, like on redirect, then i do not know if it will solve the issue)

Hi! I just discovered this:

https://github.com/strangerstudios/paid-memberships-pro

that can be a good free alternative to memberpress, if it satisfy your needs with the features that offer

Look just edited to be more precise

p.s check the user nicename in WP, and in phpBB the username_clean: it should also match the correct value; in phpBB all lowercase and also in wp, plus something else that i do not remind now like spaces substituted by – and more characters that i do not remember).

Anyway, lowercase as nicename or username_clean value should work.

If the username_clean is not correct (lowercase username) i remember that in phpBB the user where not able to login (if the username was containing spaces or some other char) because the username_clean is used into phpBB user’s sql select and the check fail to retrieve the user’s db data. Do not know if after, phpBB changed this on later versions.

Hello! Do you mean something like this?

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?

It is maybe because the id of the phpbb user, result to be into the bruteforce array: it happen that an ID (user) is added as bruteforced for several reasons and maybe not because it really has been bruteforced, but due to mismatching phpBB session that can occur for several reasons: at this point, a wp logged user is not affected, nor the user that login in WP (it will cause the cleanup of the phpBB user’s id from the bruteforce array in WP), but if the ID result to be existent into the brute force array and the user login in phpBB then come to WP, he will be logged out. To avoid this, you should install the last phpbb extension version and activate the latest added option about WP bruteforce, that cleanup the wp bruteforce id of the user if it exist, when will login in phpBB.

It could be achieved easily expending a lot of server’s resources, but so i would like to find out a light way to accomplish with this. I have think how to several times, so maybe it will be implemented into a next future version.

No absolutely ?? and i missed last two notifications emails of this and the other post here.

The WP plugin create a phpBB session when a wp login occur, not the phpbb extension, which if you installed, works on phpbb pnly and do not interfere anyway into phpbb auth flow.

While the wp plugin, create a session using same phpbb names and when the user go into phpbb, the cookie is recognized and the user being logged.

But if the cookie do not match a valid session, stored into phpbb db, then the user is logged out.

Same so goes for wp: if the plugin do not find a matching cookie/session then the logout occur.

I will test again since i am over to 2.7.7 which fix some problem on page forum and forum shortcode and yes i followed with the post to phpBB, even if it seem quite impossible to be achieved, i have find the way but it is a non secure way to execute the task so that i have to return over and see how to workaround to this aspect

This is valid suggestion for all caching plugins.

Option:

Logged-in Users Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users

i assume you should activate this option to fix the problem, yes!

Yes sorry, i already installed and partially tested days ago…

Which cache plugin are you using?

So, you would have an update of values, without that the user have to refresh the page? Or what?

PSS i followed with the WP post to phpBB and i’ve find out a BIG problem on phpBB about this: the problem is that calling the submit_post( function via cURL, phpBB process the request checking for the logged in user.

If submit_post( was working like delete_user function, it would be easier, because it do not look for the user’s session. I will check how to workaround this asap, so +- all about would be accomplished
