Hey,
I went through the steps int your guide
https://www.axew3.com/w3/cms-plugins-sc ... InstallFAQ
When it says Done i activated the integration after that I got logged out and I am unable to login into my wordpress.
I am able to login into phpbb but still unable to login into wordpress.
I even tried to reset my password in wordpress without success.
But when I disable the plugin and reset my wordpress password again, everything works fine.
Do you know what I did wrong?
Thanks in advance

The cookie setting.
If the problem is the cookie, note that you have to setup phpBB cookies to be available overall the domain.
Note also that the if the admin user in WP that you're logged in with, is not the default one with that installed wp (uid1), the same user need to exists with same username and email in phpBB. If the user is the default wp installer with uid 1, note that need to exist in phpBB, the installer phpBB uid2, and it is associated with him, despite may crated with different usernames.
if you are in trouble while testing, do not forget No Panic instructions:
viewtopic.php?p=2703#p2703
may try to create an admin in wp, then a correspondent user in phpBB will be created. And test things. If do not work, the problem should be the cookie setting i assume. Let know

So my website is available under
https://www.seven-ig.de
and my forum is available under
https://www.seven-ig.de/phpBB3/
I have to activate force server url settings and activate https as the server protocol
and my cookie name has to be .seven-ig.de
is that correct?
Thanks in advance for your help

Ok, so my main problem ist, that as that when I deactivate the plugin, deinstall it, and reinstalll it to make a fresh clean install.
As soon as I activate the plugin I get logged out and I am unable to login even after resetting the password.

Can you please try to deactivate (there is no need to uninstall or reinstall) the plugin, login wp admin, create an user and make him admin.
Then use this user to check if all works?
It is strange the you can't successfully reset pass.
There is some user sharing same email in phpBB, with different username?
You use a frontend plugin page to reset password, or the default wp flow/page?

So I created a new user on both sites with the same password, email and username.
The user is on both sites logged in as an admin.
When I activate the plugin I get logged out.
But I am only able to log into phpBB.
In wordpress I am unable to login.
P.S.
I was able to deactivate the plugin
