I have another question.
Is there something in the options of your plugin i must set it on?
Because i have a new member on my forum which i can not see see in my Wordpress users list.
This member have find someway my forum already.

I have created myself a extra account to test.
I register with the phpbb register form and this account is in my Wordpress users list.
Isn't this strange?

The member has activated his account because he reply on something on my forum.

memo in this way:
if the user have register phpBB side, because you let do it, like here, will NOT be added into WP, until as logged in phpBB do not come to visit WP side, or login WP side.

So in this case you'll experience that you see an user in phpBB, but still not in WP!

Of course if an user try to register WP side with same name or email will get error, because the user already exist in phpBB.
All return now?

So if this user is going to my website he automatically is in my wordpress user list?

Or I need to turn this setting on: Activate WordPress to phpBB users transfer

Yes, if he try login (because not logged) WP side, or on fly if as already logged in phpBB, visit WP side.
No the user transfer need to be activated and used, only at integration start, to transfer existent WP users into phpBB

So in another words this is because i created the file page-forums.php instead of page-forum.php
And no when the surfing to this url (or in this case someone probably find my site on Google) the visitor only register on my phpbb forum?

So i have to created a page-forum.php and make a new page in Wordpress with the name forum or i have the solution te change te register link in my phpbb forum to wordpress register?

you can force to redirect to WP registration, any phpBB registration attempt, adding into phpBB root .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mode=register
RewriteRule ^ucp.php(.*)$ http://yoururl/wp-login.php?action=register [R]
Change http://yoururl on code to match your correct URL.

I'm preparing things about redirect for email notifications links, but it will require some little time more.
