    Hello, I read the FAQ but I didn’t get an answer to my question. I hope that you can help me.
    I’m searching for a solution which could integrate my forum into my WordPress website so that I can browse it in my website. I don’t want to integrate users or other things. Can this be done by the plugin or not?

    Sorry for this stupid question.

    Thanks for your fast answer it’s working 🙂

    Can I also use the widgets without using the user integration?

    Not considered at moment. You should activate the plugin, and remove something.
    It can be easily added as option, as also requested time ago if i’m not wrong. As i can put eyes on, let know here, if nobody else do in the while, how to achieve this. Will be added as option.

    Thanks that would be really great if you can add this as option!

    I have 200 WordPress users and nearly 8000 phpBB users and I don’t want to get them mixed up.

    As soon as I activated the plugin and set the paths, all passwords of the WordPress users got changed. I had to restore a backup to fix this.

    all passwords of the WordPress users got changed

    When you activate WP_w3all, it do not change nothing into users profile values. But the password is checked, if w3_all active, for both WP phpass and Bcrypt phpBB hashes.
    And when you start integration, and you have existent WP users, they need to be added into phpBB or will result impossible for those users even login WP.
    When they are added, because you’ve transfer those users into phpBB, they are added with their WP password. And they can not login correctly phpBB, (but yes WP). In the moment they come as logged in or login WP, pass will be updated to the one of phpBB. Or they need reset password.
    phpBB users are added with their password, when they login or as logged come to WP. They are added with their phpBB password, and it is recognized on both immediately.

    But you’re using WP_w3all in a way that do not affect nothing, as you use it as disabled, because path to phpBB config is not setup, isn’t it?

    p.s to be more precise, i’ve experience that both phpass and bcript, validate password if passwords are without some chars, so the above about WP users that need to reset pass to login phpBB, if they go to login phpBB using phpBB form after transferred into phpBB, is true only if a password contain some particular special char.

    Yes right now I’m using your plugin disabled and everything is fine.
    Yesterday I tried to set the path to phpBB config file and everything screwed up for me. That’s why I’m using it disabled now.

    But it would be very nice if I could activate the plugin, deactivate all user related functions and use the other features 🙂
