Log in problem

Hello, Thanks for the plug in, and I am writing as I have some problems in configuring and using it.
I have installed the plug in, so, 'WP w3all' menu is under the 'Settings' menu.
I went into that WP w3all settings page, and fill the correct full path to the phpbb3 config file, and the correct URL.
And when I click 'Save wp_w3all configuration' button right under the text boxes, it redirects to WP home page with signed out status.
And after that, When I try to log in my WP site, it didn't work, and redirect to home page again and again.

Is there anything I did wrong about configuration?

Check phpBB setting about cookie:
this could happen because, wp can't read a valid phpBB cookie if it is not all over domain available.
Set as cookie domain setting: .yourdomain
Set as cookie path: /

After done this, logout, clean cookies and relogin.

On fresh install, the pass to be used to login
, when after first configuration you have been logged out, is the phpBB password.
Which phpBB version are you on?

Thanks it works.
but I have one question, if I register a new account on WP, it is possible to that account on phpbb without using 'transfer WP users to phpbb' in Settings.

well of course you need to use the transfer ONLY one time when you start integration if you have pre-existent users into WP: after users are auto added ... if not it was named maybe "manual integration" :lol:

read well https://www.axew3.com/w3/cms-plugins-sc ... tegration/
all, and just post for any trouble.

So, to explain about my situation in detail, I am using WooCommerce plugin, and users are registering by using its checkout registration.
I don't think Woocommerce checkout registration is much different from default wp user registration, but it just do checkout at same time.
After integrated wp_w3all plugin, I can register to my WP with the original phpbb accounts.
But when I register new user on WP, users are successfully registered, but can not log in. It always automatically redirects to the homepage without log in.
Please let me know if there is a way to solve this problem.
Thanks.

It seems user is registered on both WP and phpbb, but when I try to log in, it always says 'password is incorrect'.
Maybe it is caused from difference of password hashing method of WP and PHPBB?
What should be the solution?
