1.4.1 will be in this way:
if user deactivated on phpBB, when user login will be also deactivated or added as deactivated also on WP, when he visit or try to login wp side.

all modifications done via WP side on user profile, by user or admin, are immediately also updated on phpBB.
Mods on profile done on phpBB side, are updated on WP side only when affected user, visit WP side.

Since wp_w3all do not touch nothing on phpBB side, as it is a WordPress plugin, this the best possible to do.
What change is admin experience if mods on profile are done by admin on users in phpBB side, but not the user experience.

OK, well if I am understanding.

Previously the two plugins worked OK together, but recently not. Not sure if its yours or theirs, but if I have yours off, the site works OK.

Yes, Ultimate Member is a user control system. The free version is very good, and allows us to add new fields to the registration form, which we require. It provides its own login, logout and profile pages.

It does not "disable" the /wp-admin/ page, but it does allow a front in log in.

Of recent, when a registered user tries to login it accepts user/pass then reloads the site still leaving them logged out. Not sure why.
If I skip their login page, and go directly to /wp-admin/ it works.

So, for right now, I leave your plugin off, and when I get a new user that we accept as valid, I enable your plugin, "push" the account to phpBB, and disable the plugin.

Not fun, nor the best way, but it works.

Ok nice! ... do not know Ultimate Member, i just see right now on other tab at wp.org what do: it is possible that interact with wp_w3all, about logins on his front end widget, if as explained on some other post, if this plugin use javascript to login user in front end widget and reset the $_POST credentials of WP. This normally not affect if the login is done via wp-login.php and these kind of plugins are active. Affect only there front end login widget if as said they reset WP credentials.
But i've not test it with wp_w3all, i will give a try to see what happen ...

Also i've start something to get working wp_w3all by the way also with this kind of plugins ... BUT let me say ... the things that this kind of ajax plugin are doing the work, is crazy to me in the way they are done (i've see someone, do not know Ultimate Member, i wll take alook, maybe it do things in other way) and what they are useful for in the way they login: why completely modify the way wp login, to get as result that the user not login via wp-login.php page using ajax remaining in home? It is crazy.
In few line of code, it can be achieved just with an action and a filter in WP, using pure php. The use of ajax is not secure: that's the reason why they reset $_POST i think onlogin.

Yes (and no).

I am trying to fully figure out one last (I hope) issue before I report it. Its a big issue involving log in, but I'm 100% sure it is a plugin conflict with Ultimate Member. Heck, maybe one of your fixes (thinking the "session" one) may resolve it, so I may wait to report it until the next patch is out.

BUT apart from this everything is working.

p.s finally all has been installed working at your site?

I'l edit the code for now, but I think this is a good feature to add.

I know 99% will want the account active, but some sites will validate users first.

Thank you.
