so, the forum is magic!

By copy+pasting the text above it worked! :) :D

....
function redirect($url, $return = false, $disable_cd_check = false)
{
	global $db, $cache, $config, $user, $phpbb_root_path, $phpbb_filesystem, $phpbb_path_helper, $phpEx, $phpbb_dispatcher;

 $w3ck = preg_replace('/^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$/', '\1.\2',$url);
 
 $w3 = request_var('REMOTE_ADDR','0');
 
if(stristr($w3ck, $w3)){
$disable_cd_check = true;
}

	$failover_flag = false;

[b]This is how the function redirect inside phpBB/includes/functions.php need to look like to correct do external (and secure) redirect:[/b]
(external mean a redirect outside the phpBB folder)
[code]
....
function redirect($url, $return = false, $disable_cd_check = false)
{
global $db, $cache, $config, $user, $phpbb_root_path, $phpbb_filesystem, $phpbb_path_helper, $phpEx, $phpbb_dispatcher;

$w3ck = preg_replace('/^[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)\.(.*)$/', '\1.\2',$url);

$w3 = request_var('REMOTE_ADDR','0');

if(stristr($w3ck, $w3)){
$disable_cd_check = true;
}

$failover_flag = false;
.......
[/code]

Think you have wrong edit the file: look the next post
or you are talking about this:
https://www.axew3.com/w3/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44

When I add that code I get the following after logging in:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$w3ck' (T_VARIABLE) in /public/sites/www.ngaming.nl/phpbb3/includes/functions.php on line 2292

[b]p.s look that you can use also auto login register if social plugins that allow this feature are installed.
And, you can also use the META widget login/auto/etc for users in WP. Users can be added/register etc on both systems.[/b]
