What to fix and add into next phpBB WP integration:

All about the iframe integration, js code and page forum, as well the integration by shortcode.
About this: if the iframe show into a page with also a widget that display phpBB last posts into the parent Wp page, would be nice that without reloading the page, the content on widget update in accord.

The phpBB extension, when login done correctly into phpBB, need to reset the eventual bruteforce record for the user, if it exist in WP:
so that the user will not be constrained to login in WP to legitimate the login when a bruteforce (real, or just due to sessions mismatching) is issued.

The integration require to be tested again after some time, under: a multisite installation, buddypress, woocommerce and maybe memberpress.
But i suppose all are still fully compatible.

/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/admin/config.php
file has been updated to fix all warning messages (display on plugin admin page if WP in debug mode) about deprecated php code instructions.

the document.domain JS code instruction has been REMOVED
and the related code about this (old version) is not anymore required

pssss
now i realize from where the localhost cookie setting you say have come probably out:
there is an instruction or two into the plugin, that set the localhost value when no other value can be found.
This is effectively wrong.
2.7.4 will fix this, in favor of:
no value at all (empty), that's the correct way to do things.
Going to add this on 2.7.4 logs topic.

2.7.4 has been released

About the iframe integration, the code of two plugin files:

/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/addons/page-forum.php
and
/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/views/wp_w3all_phpbb_iframe_short.php

have been updated to REMOVE the use of the JS deprecated document.domain
and so to fit the new overall_footer.html JS code:
https://www.axew3.com/w3/2020/01/phpbb- ... iframe-v5/

But the code is still away to be perfect: it works as you see here, but it is still necessary to improve the smooth scroll behavior in some circumstances and more: the overall_footer js code, need to be re-ordered to be executed at the right time, so to have a smoother and precise flow, and it will be done on next coming release.

If using the iframe shortcode template integration, it is mandatory to update the overall_footer.html JS code and it is not anymore possible to use the old way using document.domain.
While for the page-forum (or whatever you named) template integration it is possible to follow with the old overall_footer JS code and the old page-forum.
