Hi, since the last month I got issues with the new user registration at my wp site.
I'm using the plugin wp-members and your phpbb3 plugin, they have worked good together for several years but suddenly I noticed the new user registration isn't working.
If I disable the w3all plugin new users can successfully be registered on the wp site.
When having the w3all plugin enabled from an user perspective everything looks fine, but no user is created.
I have looked into the website error_logs without finding anything. I have also enabled debug logging in wp but no issues is logged.
Have you seen this behavior before? Do you have any ideas how to debug this more? Is it possble to add some debug logging into your plugin to find what's happening here.

Re: Cannot create new users with wp-members anymore
I still have the problem, but to not completely stop new user registration in Wordpress I temporary "miss configured" the database settings in the phpbb extension. So when having an invalid DB setup new users can register again. Off course users logged in in wp does not get automatically logged in into phpbb but that is less painful than preventing new users from signing up.

Re: Cannot create new users with wp-members anymore
Hello Tomas. It's working fine here on my localhost. I mean this plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/
i tested a registration of a test user adding the plugin shortcode [wpmem_form register] into a test page and it worked fine.
But the one do not interfere anyway with the other. The WP plugin and the phpBB extension code runs each their own way.
The user registration in WP if the plugin is active, should just create the user in phpBB also, and not prevent the creation of the user in WP, if there is not the same email or username do not exist in phpBB.
Are you still in trouble?

Not understood. To disable the extension in phpBB if you mean this, you should disable it into phpBB from the proper disable extension option.tlagren wrote: ↑Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:05 pm I still have the problem, but to not completely stop new user registration in Wordpress I temporary "miss configured" the database settings in the phpbb extension.

Re: Cannot create new users with wp-members anymore
Sorry for slow response, I still have issues.
I use the plugin WP Members for user registration and more and your plugin for linking Wordpress with phpbb and it has been working well for several years but a few weeks ago I noticed that no new users had been registered using the WP Members signup.
I don't have any errors at all in the logfiles. The registration process completes without errors and the user receives a message that the registration was successfully but nothing is stored into the database.
Then I tried to disable all plugins and enabled them one-by-one to find the conflicting one and it was w3all. With the plugin disabled new users can register successfully but with the plugin disabled users cannot login to Wordpress anymore.
So to have the registration and login to wordpress working I was forced to have the w3all plugin enabled, but changed the w3all DB configuration to an invalid setting so it cannot connect to the databse. When I did that users can register and also login into Wordpress.

Re: Cannot create new users with wp-members anymore
More updates. I have not installed the phpbb plug, is that required if using linked mode?
If I have a proper DB configuration in w3all plugin in Wordpress and select to NOT link to phpbb new users can sucessfully register into Wordpress but cannot login to WP, no errors, just a redirect back to the login prompt.

Re: Cannot create new users with wp-members anymore
I tried to go back with two older versions of w3all plugin but the same issue is still there.
There must be something else going on, an conflict with wp-members maybe?
When plugin is installed it feels like the process for storing the user into the database by wp-members plugin is not activated. I have to check changes in wp-members for the last versions to see if there is any changes to add_action or similar.
