Hello,

first of all here some information about my config:
WP = Latest Version
PHPBB = 3.2.2
Plugin Version 1.9.5

Yes I know the plugin version is old, the reason is whe have so much problems after updates in the past, and now i tried again to update to the letest Version but after the update i was not able to login to WP (wp-admin). I go back to Vewrsion 1.9.5 and tried to update Version by Version und figuered out that after Updating to 1.9.8 its not working and i have to disable the plugin and on the plugins config page getting following massage:
WARNING
Error establishing a phpBB database connection.
The w3all integration plugin will not work properly (widgets, shortcodes).
Integration Running as USERS NOT LINKED until this message display.
Check db connection values into linked phpBB config.php file.

Any ideas how can i fix this ?

thanks

Are you sure the config.php you going to include contain correct values i assume, and the path to the file is correct, and if not on latest 2.3.5 version,
this line (on bottom of the custom config.php file)

Code: Select all

//@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
has not been changed into this?

Code: Select all

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
because if all values are ok, and you're not including the default phpBB root config.php file, this can be a reason.
Did you changed something on mysql server, then may you need to specify the mysql port to connect to?
Why you do not update to latest 2.3.5? ARe you in phpBB 3.2> or 3.3.0?

P.s about the login: until the above message display, the integration plugin do not affect any way the login in wordpress. The password do not match because the hash isn't recognized without integration plugin, that archive the pass in phpbb way.

Just reset password of the user via normal 'lost pass' procedure to login in wordpress, if you're in trouble.
