    Hello,
    1)I have a problem with login. When I create a user in wp platform, the user is created to phpbb as well so intergration is set good.
    Then when I try to log in my wp platform the user is not conected automatically to phpbb platform at the same time. The same is happening when I try to log in my phpbb platform. I need when I login to the wp platform to automatically connect to phpbb platform as well.

    2) When I log in phpbb platform to the newlly created user (that I have created in wordpress platform) the phpbb theme tha I have set on my forum is not showing. The theme that I see after login is the default phpbb’s theme. When I log out it returns to my custome theme. Please help me fix these isues, Sorry for my English.

    Thank you in Advance!

    because you link me the forum as http, while your WP is https
    so in case set as https the URL setting on WP_w3all that link the phpBB, and setup phpBB to be served as https.

    p.s also very important, check that you are on a subdomain hosted into a domain (altervista). In these rare cases, so you may also need to setup a thing more, but let know if with just the above you’re up and running. Clean cookies also to be sure all is tested as need.

    Oh thank you so much!

    Everything did fine with the login problem. The solution was to make http both WordPress and phpbb directories as you mentioned in the first answere.

    But the problem with the phpbb theme still exist. When I login to phpbb platform in a user’s profile created on WP the phpbb theme turns to the default pro Silver.

    about http/s: if possible, do the contrary and setup both phpBB and WP to be https (so changing settings on WP General config setting, so the WP_w3all config URL setting to be https, phpBB ACP server setting to serve phpBB as https (if possible).

    About the theme that switch to default, have you try to setup settings in phpBB
    Server configuration -> Board setting -> Board style

    setup the default to be the one you want and may set the option to
    Override user style:
    to force.

    Ok Everything is looking good with the theme now.

    When I log in to the wordpress platform,I connect to phpbb platform too but when I log in to the phpbb platform is not connected to wp platform too. Is this normal?

    No, not normal: check that phpBB cookie setting is correct, it need to be set:
    yourdomain.com (even if it is on subdomain, so like forum.mysite.com, setting to have cookie available over all the domain and subdomains is .mydomain.com
    Cookie path setting need to be / (single slash)
    if you change these setting in phpBB, logout and re-login-

    Cookie settings looks good but still nothing happens. When I log off in phpbb platform, I log off in wp too. But still when Im trying to log in phpbb the wordpress platform is not connected!

    wordpress platform on http://mieuth.altervista.org

    because, i assume, you need to set phpBB to be served as https like your wp is: you see that your wp is under https: a cookie released under https, isn’t available under http, and viceversa.

    p.s check also, that your URL setting in wp_w3all config page, need to be https, so links about widgets will point to https.

    ops i’ve read above posts and i’ve already answer in the same way. The problem is the cookie by the way, sure you have setup in phpBB the setting for cookie to be
    .mieuth.altervista.org
    with single slash as path setting?
    If you change this, logout, may clean cookies on browser and re-login.
