phpBB dont appear in WP page
-
Hello, I hope that you can help me that I do not know anymore what to do to make it work.
I installed phpBB3 in my hosting and I want to integrate it into a wordpress page, I installed WP w3all and followed the whole procedure of the web and I can not see the forum integrated in the page of wordpress.PhpBB 3.2.1
Wordpress 4.8.1I created the template using the settings section of w3all, page-board.php, create the blank page called board, modified overall_footer.html, activated the widgets phpBB and other processes but I do not get that when opening the board page WordPress appears integrated.
I do not know what else to do, can you help me?
I hope so, thank you very much

I can’t imagine all, but i will try to help you to setup correctly.
I assume you have setup correct path to config file (to phpBB root or custom folder). So you can login out correctly, widgets working and all the rest, and now you want embed the phpBB iframe into WP page, WHICH you (i see) like to call board.
I see on post just posted by you, that yes probably path and url are correct, if you can login out after setting these value all is ok.
Now,
Create a blank page in WP, name it board (that you’ve already do)
On wp_w3all, WP_w3all phpBB embedded on WordPress Template, setup as name board and click into Create or rebuild WordPress forum page template button. After this check that a new file named page-board.php has been created and is present into your active WP template folder.
If not, copy the file
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/addons/page-forum.php and paste it into your active template folder, so in
/wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME
renaming it into page-board.php
after this, you need to add the code into overall_footer.html of your phpBB template, as explained here:
https://www.axew3.com/w3/2016/02/embed-phpbb-into-wordpress-template-iframe-responsive/
check well on adding the code as explained into the overall footer, that you need to set your domain name into the code you add where:
document.domain = 'localhost'; // THIS IS MANDATORY! Set/Change this value to your domain (example: axew3.com (or leave localhost if on localhost))
you’ll need to change so into:
document.domain = 'contandoovejas.com';
as explained on procedure, you’ll need to Recompile phpBB template to modifications take effect.
Follow with instructions and all should go fine, just re-post if still in trouble, but read well the linked page and follow the above and you should be up and running in minutes …Hello,
Thanks for the help but I have not been able to solve the problem. I have followed your comments step by step and reviewed them twice checking that everything is correct.
The process you described had done previously, I have left nothing unmade and I do not know what is happening.
If you need any other information or have any other verification process do not hesitate to tell me.
At the moment the board page created where the forum should appear is still blank, as if an empty frame appeared. I tried to include in my wordpress theme the page-forums.php (WP w3all integration 1.4.7/addons) file and rename it to page-board.php, the result was that the empty frame that exited stopped appearing but the page was still blank. https://contandoovejas.com/phpBB3/ works fine but the integration in WordPress don’t, can be the something with the theme?
Thank you and forgive me for the delay in responding, I would have liked to be able to respond before because I really want to solve this and I am spending a lot of time, hopefully we can find the problem.
regards
I have viewed the page where the phpBB forum should appear in Chrome,
Countingovejas.com/forums.I have inspected the page to be able to make modifications to the code and I found this when selecting the place where the forum should appear and the iframe process is active:
<Iframe id = "w3all_phpbb_iframe" style = "width: 1px; min-width: 100%; border: 0px; overflow: hidden;" Scrolling = "no" src="http://www.contandoovejas.com/phpBB3"> </ iframe>I’ve tried changing the source of iframe from src = “http://www.contandoovejas.com/phpBB3” to
Src = “https://www.contandoovejas.com/phpBB3” and
Now appears!!In the page with the changed code appears the forum but trimmed, I only see a small part but I imagine that would be a minor problem and easy to solve.
Now, how can I make it redirect automatically without having to open the inspector? Why does this happen? I have entered the PCA> Board> Server Configuration and set:
Force Url parameter: I tried with both, Yes and No, now is in No
Server protocol: https://I dont know how can solve, hope this helps.
Thanks
Hello again, I have tried so many things that in the end I had to create a bigger problem.
I was trying to change the server configuration by checking the port and in the URL I added ‘https://www.contandoovejas.com’, from that moment I am not able to see the forum again, much less enter the PCA again, Is it possible to edit some file where you save that configuration and edit it to what was written before?
Thanks in advance, I’m a little obsessed with this and it works and I keep trying.
regards
// I SOLVE THIS //
I edit the SQL database in phpMyAdmin the phpBB_config table with the corrected values and use SQL Query ‘REPAIR TABLE phpbb_log’ to have access again to PCA (ACP) with my user.
Still having the same issue with the httpS in iframe, if i edit it in browser Inspector, the src to https and put values for height in iframe event, works fine, but i cant solve where fix that automatically, hope i explain well..
This is one error of Inspector Console of Chrome:
Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://contandoovejas.com/forums’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource ‘http://www.contandoovejas.com/phpBB3’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
ScreenCap: WP phpBB3 w3all issue
In this link you can see the problem that I have when opening the page of the forum of wordpress where phpBB should be integrated and how I can solve it temporarily from the Inspector.
I hope you can help me solve it, I have many tests and I could not find the solution.
axew3, thank you very much the work you do and as you take time to help us, I hope not to disturb too much.
Thanks and best regards
Hello! yesterday you’ve post just while i was writing the answer! so sorry of obvious points i’ve repeat … NOW
I see the example you have moved to https://contandoovejas.com/forums
In WP you are on https, this need so to be also for the forum URL setting in wp_w3all,
so on wp_w3all config put as URL value:
https://contandoovejas.com/phpBB3
so add the code and follow as explained in this procedure
https://www.axew3.com/w3/2016/02/embed-phpbb-into-wordpress-template-iframe-responsive/
check well to change this line on top of the code you go to add into overall_footer.html in this way:
document.domain = ‘contandoovejas.com’;
remember to recompile phpBB template as detailed explained on procedure …
and you should be done! Let know!p.s remove also modifications done into page-forum.php, about iframe html element (if you’ve edit it): all should work fine when you setup as https://contandoovejas.com/phpBB3 the URL setting in wp_w3all config.
Thanks! Yeah, I was already testing heightCalculationMethod (active and disable) before your message arrived and I was about to write to you, it seems that the best that works for me is BodyScroll like you said but only when I’m in full width and scroll down I cut the header and I have to update the page until I return to scroll.
It is a minor problem compared to this other so strange that happens with the ACP, when I enter from the menu of phpBB, ACP is loaded but in seconds automatically reloads the page and i cant access. In other words, if I open the ACP from ‘contandoovejas.com/forums’ it loads but reloads the forums page back.
I tried to assign some class of my theme like you said but dont make any changes. I see the page.php of template and see this
<div class=”<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>” role=”main”>
i try also and nothing happens either..
