Ok resolved, you was right! it was a problem on db vars when not still set, so throwing Php warnings, until the connection values where not set.
It has been now resolved, download 2.8.1 please!
As ever, thank you for the report David

ps old versions are here but i do not advice to use, just update to 2.8.1 instead to fix your reported issue

I'm afraid I think the problem must lie with w3all phpBB.

My reasons for thinking this:

I made no changes to my DB, username, password or port params.

The error appeared immediately after updating to w3all phpBB Version 2.8.0

The error goes away when I deactivate w3all phpBB.

All other plugins are working and updating.

Something else I noticed... When the plugin is activated some users get logged out of phpBB after they visit the Wordpress areas.

Perhaps as a test you could link me to the previous w3all phpBB version. If that still works, we can be more positive the problem is with the update.

Hello check that some info is maybe changed for your DB connection, like the port param required by the host or something else?
Should be no reason to get the message if the connection values are correct also because nothing changed about it since long time!

Following update to Version 2.8.0, I'm getting this error:
WARNING
phpBB database connection error.
Integration Running as USERS NOT LINKED until this message will display.
Double check phpBB db connection values into the integration plugin admin page and NOT the wp-config.php (as may suggested on the warning message below).
Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down... etc.

That is fantastic! It will save a lot of hassle.

New line pasted to wp-config.php, plugin updated to 2.7.9 (with new unmodified class.wp.w3all-phpbb.php) and working nicely with those awkward usernames. :D

Thank you so much again for your dedicated and tireless work on this plugin.
