phpBB logon not logging into Simple Membership paywall

Post by pennymachines »

Hi again.

OK this isn't really a problem with WP_w3all, more a plugin compatibility issue.

I have some paywalled content on a subsite (arena) which is protected by the Simple Membership plugin. I use Simple Membership as the registration gateway for all members of my site, free or paid. Until recently, if a paid member logged in via phpBB, they were also automatically logged into the paid content. Sadly something changed and paid members have to log in via one of the WP subsites. Logging in via phpBB still logs into WP as expected.

It also stopped working from other WP subsites, so I guess something in the SM plugin changed. To fix that, I updated my modal login code from action=<?php echo site_url('wp-login.php'); ?> to action="<?php echo esc_url($arena_login_url); ?>.

I appreciate as this is a plugin compatibility issue, this may be asking too much for a support question

Regards,
David

Going to give it a try asap!
So the scenario of the problem to be reproduced is:
they were also automatically logged into the paid content. Sadly something changed and paid members have to log in via one of the WP subsites. Logging in via phpBB still logs into WP as expected.
to create a paid content, and check if legit users are able to see it, without having to login into subsites?
Where it is located the paid content?
Into the main WP or another subsite?

Which plugin exactly you use?
A search into available plugins return several named with Paywall

Thank you!

Correct. Legit users logged in via phpBB should be able to access it.
Where it is located the paid content?
All links to paid content are from arena homepage (/arena). This is actually a subsite, but I thought (parhaps wrongly) it has a higher status than the other subsites? The normal user account I PM'd you has paid access to arena content.

The plugin (for paywalled content) is Simple Membership: https://simple-membership-plugin.com/
