Rows not removed from WP Options table when uninstalled

    It says on your help page:

    “Remember: this is a WP plugin. It does not add anything into phpBB other than user accounts when a person registers via the WP side, nor will the plugin modify any of its code. The same goes for WordPress (except the addition of a few rows into WP Options database table, that are completely removed when you uninstall the plugin).”

    I uninstalled the plugin and the rows were not removed.

    The problem is when I added a path in the plugin config page it redirected to the home page and I can’t get back to the site admin.

    Hi there, this is it, but the plugin need to be removed in the proper way (like all others plugins).
    To do so, you can’t just delete the plugin folder, then re-login wp and remove it: plugins files aren’t available so the cleanup function of the plugin isn’t executed (because you removed the plugin folder).
    Check this (linked on Common How To section of the Help Install Page):
    No Panic Instructions

    When you say

    The problem is when I added a path in the plugin config page it redirected to the home page and I can’t get back to the site admin.

    i assume your problem is one of these:
    1) you have install with UID1 in WordPress, but there is not an user UID2 in phpBB (the phpBB default install admin).
    Read this:
    Newbie problems on login to admin area
    Another reason could be the wrong cookie setting in phpBB, that has not been setup to be available overall the domain.
    Check the Help Install Page for any common solution and just post if still in trouble.

    HOW TO REMOVE SAFELY ALSO AFTER WRONG INSTALL STEPS:

    To resume and do a clean uninstall (that just remove 3 rows/records on wp option table, if you have (as i assume) not setup any option but just activated the plugin, just 6/7 whenever all options activated)
    also after wrong steps,

    with the plugin folder and his files in place, so on:
    /wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration
    (may re-download the plugin and put it into wp plugins folder)
    choose how to disable the plugin in one way as you prefer
    may choose the option

    2) by opening the file
    /wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/wp_w3all.php
    … …

    as explained on liked No Panic Instructions
    Then access WP admin. Uninstall now the plugin.

    No – there is a WP user ID of 1 and a pgpBB user ID 2

    are you using wordpress configured something like
    192.168.1.2
    or
    localhost or mydomain.com/mywp?
    because as is the code now, if as WordPress Address (URL) you’ve setup for example http://192.168.1.2
    or you navigate wordpress using this kind of address, will not work, the cookie will not be properly setup and this can be also a reason.
    In case let know i will adjust the code.

    wrong cookie setting ??

    p.s

    In case let know i will adjust the code.

    this will be in any case fixed as soon
