Invisible forum for new members

Post by sc4t »

Hello!
When a new user signs up on wordpress, all forums are invisible because he does not add to any group on the phphbb forum.
I also see that the login widget and the last topic widget do not show up.

Hi! about
When a new user signs up on wordpress, all forums are invisible because he does not add to any group on the phphbb forum.
the problem is the one reported into the other post, i will check as soon i can about this.

About the widgets not showing instead, it's a problem that i can't figure out at moment by what can be caused, but after activated widgets, have you try out to switch for a while to a default WP theme like twentisixteen or one of others WP default themes? What happen?

i've after re-think this morning about this, and i see that the user, when register in WP, is added in phpBB as normal registered user.
Pre-defined groups
Pre-defined groups are special groups, they cannot be deleted or directly modified. However you can still add users and alter basic settings.
The solution to this, is to change phpBB Registered users Group permissions into ACP.
The result you can see here, when you register, you can post and see any forum, but i could set some hidden based on further forum's permission and so on: in this online example, it's set that any new user, need to have a validated/moderated post, before to post without restrictions on all forums.

So, resuming the answer to this problem should be this:
it is necessary to setup in ACP -> Group Permissions the correct setting permissions to match the thing like you want, assuming that the plugin, when an user register in WP, add the same user into phpBB under the Registered users Group.

nice trip looking your video! I like the way you've shown the problem :D
It look like that the user isn't recognized into WP side due to one of the following facts maybe:
1) the cookie isn't recognized in WP, to check this, you can try to login the user in WP and see if in this case the user is correctly added/logged.
2) http/https: the forum is under http, while WP is forced under https: force phpBB to be https also than, and login as https in phpBB than try to go to WP side (also https), than the cookie will be recognized (this is a normal behavior for cookies).

Have you setup as explaine on help install, the phpBB to be like:
.mydomain.com
and the path to single slash
/

follow what explained on procedure about logout and clean cookies on browser if you change this setting in phpBB:
https://www.axew3.com/w3/2016/02/config ... ubdomains/
about https/http: if your wp is under http, than also your phpBB need to be http, https if https.
