Hello Halil, no it is not required to have the phpBB extension installed.

If the user is logged in phpBB and coming in WP it is not logged in, mean that the cookie setting in phpBB maybe is not correct (not recognized by the code on WP because is not available all over the domain)? But i assume your setting is correct, is it an online test or localhost?

.yourdomain.com

3.6.9 of what?

No, only the WP plugin!

In true it could be have been fixed the same day your reported, so sorry for the delay instead ( i could have indicate you what modify in the while, was 1 line of code)

User’s that login in WP and that are not existent into phpBB, will be added as active and logged immediately in, if the option into plugin admin about Add users into phpBB as deactivated is not active.

P.s out of contest: i am over to write a new simple phpBB extension that will allow to surf phpBB forums and topics, like discourse or fb or twitter.

Contents are appearing on scroll, and there is no need to change the page to see all the topic’s replies (posts) or the forum’s topic’s list.

It will be very cool!

Version 2.7.3 has been released just to fix the two reported bugs mentioned within this topic.

Thank you jauntymellifluous

No you are all ok! The phpBB extension do not provide the possibility to delete WP users when they are deleted in phpBB.

Since it would be very easy to do, may it will be added on next ext version.

Delete phpBB users when users deleted in WordPress

You have to activate this option, if you installed the extension into phpBB you can use it.

If not, the user is just deactivated (that’s correct, not deleted) into phpBB, when deleted in WP.

Remember that a deactivated user in phpBB, will never be added again in WordPress until not deleted or re-activated.

Ps

in my test was added as deactivated because

Deactivate phpBB user account until WP confirmation

option is set to Yes, if not it should work fine adding the user and logging him in, already on actual 2.7.2.

While the bug described here remain until 2.7.3

I transferred that user to phpbb got an error but I saw that he was transferred to the phpBB. Now he is able to login.

on next 2.7.3 it will be fixed.

Also will be fixed the fact, that if an (old existent) user successfully login in WP and has not been transferred, it will be added and logged in phpBB on fly. It already but, actually on my test, it add the user if it do not exist in phpBB, after a successful login in WP, yes, but as deactivated.

These two bugs have been fixed on next coming soon 2.7.3

Ah just checked Yes!

It return error message, even if the user has been correctly transferred, because it was not existent into phpBB!

I transferred that user to phpbb got an error

If the user register. But if it already exist in WP when the integration start, you should transfer existent WP users into phpBB. Or when they login in WP, and a correspondent phpBB user with same email isn’t found, then the user will be logged out because a phpBB session cookie cannot be released.

I will resolve this aspect on next version.

Supposing that user’s are allowed to login only into WP, when they’ll login, if same existent old user do not exist in phpBB because it has not been previously transferred using the transfer process (very raw, but that work fine) when the integration start, then the user will be added on fly in phpBB, and a session cookie then released.

It will be soon on next version.

If any doubt or trouble in the while just post!

That you have not transferred WP users into phpbb?

Or you have not setup phpBB cookie setting as they need to be?

Reasons con be more than one

Have you try to check if a phpBB user login into phpBB and then come into wp what happen? It should be added and logged if do not exist in wp.

If it do not happen, check the phpBB cookie setting and set it to be available all over the domain, as explained into the linked help install

ps NOTE that transferred WP users in phpBB, if they try to login in phpBB, will have to reset the password (in WP or phpBB, that so will be recognized both in WP and phpBB), because until not updated, the WP hash is not recognized in phpBB (that use another pass hash way). IF you let users login also in phpBB, you may have to be noticed about this. Read install steps, and inline hints, it is all explained and if still in trouble just post! Cheers

As per your last answer what I understood is that user credentials will be overwritten based on email address means password, etc will be updated. But as per your first answer email address and password will be overwritten based on username to get clarified on this let’s understand it by a example

Exactly: credentials mean the password in this case and the email, IF an username is found the same as in WP. BUT the user will not be updated,if another username in phpBB own the same email. A warning will display for the user that has not been transferred or updated, because the email belong to another username.

So that after, using provided tools (very raw and with bad layout but that are working quite fine) you can fix all and any problem.

No, the username is not updated! The phpBB user that own his post, of course!!! will follow to own his posts!

And look that you should not, as specified into installations steps

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

that you should set phpBB TO NOT allow usernames changes or same email sharing between users, even if this can be absolutely ok if you know what it mean.

To integrate phpBB and WP with this is very easy and let you have the complete control, without compromising WP or phpBB databases and files. It can result hard until you do not understand the fundamental concept that phpBB and WP are running completely separated. They are linked by a cookie and some mysql instructions, these that retrieves and/or update (if required) user’s data. And just until the plugin is active. You’ll be free to return back in any moment without any problem just disabling the plugin.

… i just read again my answers: the answer to the second question is obviously yes, in any case.

If phpBB user have 20 posts and after migration his/her credential info will be updated/overwritten. Will he/she still mapped to those 20 posts and can access the same or these 20 posts will be lost for him/her

Yes. phpBB users remains the same if you do not change them. Only email and password are overwritten when an username is found the same as in WP, during the transfer process WP-> phpBB. But/While the user will not be created/updated if the attempted transferred email belong already to another phpBB user.
