the fact that the database is different, do not change nothing, your problem is, a cookie problem. Substantially any problem with this plugin about logins, are +- ever cookie problems. Here some common solutions you can follow check to be up and running


Did you setup cookie in phpBB to be available over all the domain?

On ACP, cookie setting:
You need to setup as localhost if on localhost and as
.mydomain.com
if online on some site. Be careful on setting up these settings.
If changed, logout and CLEAN COOKIES on browser (may click into bottom phpBB link "Delete cookie" (that will delete all board's cookies))

Check also that this setting in ACP, on
Server configuration -> Security settings
the setting -> Allow "Remember Me" logins:
set it as Yes
and
Validate browser: set to YES

We should have cover + or - all common possibilities here, then i hope you'll be up and running soon!

Odd, after new update site went into a redirect loop after logging in on phpbb forums. I checked out the two patch files and loaded them as instructed. I had not changed anything within cookies and the remember me has been activated in the ACP...

I then checked the login and noticed the remember box was not checked. I checked this box and logged in again without the loop. I can't remember, but isn't there a section to make sure that box is checked by default so that user registering or logging in for the first time won't get stuck in a loop?

I updated both files. I ended up installing an extension to have the box checked by default

could you or someone else having login loops, disable ( if applied) this plugin that apply forced remember me logins, and replace with new patched files
