 * I have everything configured to phpbb’s config.php for the insecure connection
   setup and it still displays “phpBB Error -phpbb_topics” in the widget. I have
   even added both users to both databases and still nothing. I get denied every
   time I try to use the GRANT command in mysql though (in phpmyadmin). Don’t know
   what else to do.

 * I had the same problem with you when I installed the plug-in. Read the author
   notes and he explained that basically it’s because the plug-in cannot read the
   MySQL table properly.
 * I solved the problem when I open the file display.php and remove the text **WHERE
   TOPIC_APPROVED = 1** from the query in line 116
 * `$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM $prt_phpbb_tt WHERE TOPIC_APPROVED = 1 $EXCLUDED_FORUM
   $EXCLUDED_FORUM ORDER BY";`
 * I still have the error when I enable the option **Sort Results by Post Date**
   in the WordPress PlugIn Admin page. So try to turn the option off and see how
   it goes.
 * Both the error above because my phpBB board is of the old version 2.x and the
   database structure different.
