Title: Cannot transfer users Last modified: February 24, 2022 --- # Cannot transfer users * Resolved [benbluef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benbluef/) * (@benbluef) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-transfer-users/) * When I click the link: wp-w3all WordPress users to phpbb /wp-admin/tools.php? page=wp-w3all-users-to-phpbb * it says: * Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page. * How do I transfer WordPress users to phpBB ? * Thanks Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [axew3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/axewww/) * (@axewww) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-transfer-users/#post-15400588) * That’s strange!

'admin/wp_w3all_users_to_phpbb.php'; include( $file ); } ``` * so you could do this: `//wp_die( __( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' ) );` * but then you expose the WP, so maybe after finished, put again all as it was. Very strange. Never reported as problem.
