This is really strange. I have tried to install older versions of both w3all and wp-members and verified that Wordpress havent been updated since the last time new registration was working.

If i remove w3all plugin registrations in Wordpress with wp-members is working but doing this the users cannot login and therefore I found the "bad solution" to have the w3all plugin enabled but missconfigured in the DB settings so it actually wont do anything.

It's very strange that I don't get any errors at all except those about missconfigured DB settings..

When I try to create a new WP user with w3all correctly configured and push the submit button it just take a second to get the message about the user registration is complete. But with an invalid DB settings for w3all it takes more time, then user is created.

Could there be an if-statement or check that occurs and w3all just do and exit so the user registration process don't complete?

I tested it just now, registering and logging in with an user, both using the wp default login or wp-members login.
I tested it both using the plugin in linked and not linked mode, BUT with the db configuration properly set!
The plugin without setting up the phpBB db connection values or wrong db connection values should result like to be disabled!

Yea, of course do I know that not configuring DB settings correctly would make the plugin not to work as expected. But when having the DB settings not configured it's possible to register new users to WP, and WP is for me much more important than having the phpBB forum working.

I have checked what's changed the last weeks and there has been an phpbb upgrade. The forum is working properly but could there have been some changes to the database that cause w3all to fail?

I have looked into the php code for your plugin to figure out what's going on but have not completely understood it yet.
When a new user is signing up using wp-members which part of the w3all code is executed? It's a regular wp site, no multisite and I have choosed to have users linked.

Is it these lines?

Code: Select all

260 if(! defined("WPW3ALL_NOT_ULINKED")){
-- snip --
264  add_action( 'user_register', 'wp_w3all_phpbb_registration_save_adm', 10, 1 );

or these?

Code: Select all

632 if(! defined("WPW3ALL_NOT_ULINKED")){
-- snip --
648   add_action( 'user_register', 'wp_w3all_phpbb_registration_save', 10, 1 );

Into the wp_w3all.php file, which i thought about just these days, thinking how to make it very easy to understand, since the logic is very basic, and it will be done very soon, separating the code to be more clear,
there is this line:

Code: Select all

if ( defined( 'WP_ADMIN' ) && !isset($w3deactivate_wp_w3all_plugin) )
{

inside this statement there are all the hooks and functions about the code that run when WordPress is accessed into WP admin.

then there is this line, the else that wrap the code that run instead when WP is accessed into the front end:

Code: Select all

} else { // not in WP admin

so, some hooks and functions fires only when you are on front end or into the back end of the site.

Out of the if else statement into the wp_w3all.php file there are (bottom of the file) several functions, some even not used or obsolete. These can be called on front or back end, or are about WP multisite.
Into the TOP of the file, there is the code that just run to setup all required values assigning main vars when the plugin code execute.

The code do not follow the same semantic but would be quite easy to be understood and time by time will be improved.

ps. example:
the WP default login page, is WP admin, along with the WP administration.
While a WP page or post, that can be a wp-members login page built with his login shortcode, is NOT WP admin, it is the front end (where it run).

I have done some more debugging and I think the problem is as below, at least the w3all plugin exists here.

Code: Select all

function w3all_add_phpbb_user() {

  // work with the phpBB WordPress extension -> cURL
  // add user into WP, do NOT setup a phpBB session for the just inserted WP user

  global $w3all_add_into_wp_u_capability,$phpbb_config,$w3all_oninsert_wp_user,$wpdb,$wp_w3all_forum_folder_wp;
     if( isset($_REQUEST["w3alladdphpbbuid"]) ){
      $phpbbuid = intval($_REQUEST["w3alladdphpbbuid"]);
      $uemail = str_replace(chr(0), '', $_REQUEST["w3alladdphpbbuemail"]);
      $w3allastoken = trim(str_replace(chr(0), '', $_REQUEST["w3allastoken"]));

      if( $phpbbuid < 3 ){ return; }
     } else { return; ******** This is last known part of the code that is executed *********** }

The variable $_REQUEST["w3alladdphpbbuid"] is undefined

Could there have been some issues with my phpbb database that affected the avatar salt?
I checked the DB and the table structure i there, column user_form_salt exists in table phpbb_users

What you try to do? To add an user in WP when registered into phpBB? Because this function
w3all_add_phpbb_user add a phpBB user into WP when the registration process into phpBB is complete and works with the phpBB extension that through cURL send a post request to WP.
If the var w3alladdphpbbuid is not set, as the code say, the function just return.

Are you searching for functions that adds users into phpBB instead?
