Login Loop
I have read all of the instructions provided before activating the plugin but as soon as I put in the absolute path to the phpbb config.php file, I get into a login loop. What I mean is I can log into the site but then it redirects me to back to the main page of my site and logs me right back out. Does the same thing when I go to my wp-admin page. I try to log in and it redirects me back to my main page and logs me right back out. I have a user with the same username and email and even the same password on the phpbb forums as the one I am installing the plugin with. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Re: Login Loop
CLEAN UP ALL COOKIES on browser if not already done, or click into phpBB bottom link and delete all board cookie.
Then try to re-login.
Still in trouble?

Unfortunately not. I have playing with it for about 2 days trying different things. As I said, I followed all of the instructions. Only thing I can think of is it might be Jetpack doing it but not really sure. Luckily I know how to modify the tables and break the plugin so I can get back into my admin panel.

Re: Login Loop
Both forums and wordpress are https. The forums are just in a sub directory off the root. Wordpress is in the root. Only difference in the 2 is that phpbb uses a different database from wordpress. After playing with it for a few days I kind of gave up on it. I wish I could get it to work.
