Configure WP_w3all on WordPress MS MU
WP_w3all plugin from 2.0.2 – WordPress MU MS . The plugin can be also network activated, but the linked phpBB on each subsite, need to be the same (same path and same url setting value). If the plugin is network activated, it is mandatory that the sub admin or super admin, setup/configure into (each) subsite the same config of the main site for the integration plugin. Users that register in phpBB (if you allow this in phpBB) are added as users only into the FIRST WP site (or subsite) where users will login or that they will visits while coming already logged in into phpBB. *But you could use a plugin to add coming phpBB logged users, into each or just few WordPress site/subsites they visits, see more below.
OPEN wp-config.php file:
search for line (value wp_ can be maybe different):
|
1 |
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; |
immediately after ADD:
|
1 |
define( 'WPW3ALL_MAIN_DBPREFIX', $table_prefix ); |
NOTE since 2.7.9>
If you want the phpBB users additions in WordPress allowing all default WP characters for the WordPress usernames, add the follow:
|
1 |
define( 'WPW3ALL_USE_DEFAULT_WP_UCHARS', true ); |
adding the above, allowed characters for WordPress usernames that are added in WordPress from phpBB, becomes:
|
1 |
-0-9A-Za-z _.@ |
so alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers) spaces, underscores, hyphens, periods, and @
The default WP MUMS normally and by default only allow the range
|
1 |
0-9A-Za-z |
so only alphanumeric characters
BEWARE that it is NOT possible to link different phpBB installations on same installation network, the integration in this state lead to unpredictable results! It is NOT possible to link a different phpBB into WP network subsites with actual code.
Setup into sub-sites, if the plugin is network activated, same path and url in WP_w3all config, with same values of main site.
*Hint: you could use a plugin to add coming phpBB logged users, into each WordPress they visits, or just to few, and with several different features: search for Join My Multisite plugin at WordPress plugins directory.
NOTE: WP_w3all phpBB integration plugin when an user is deleted in WordPress (so it become deactivated in phpBB, and then you may go to delete this user in phpBB) also clean up from signup table in WordPress this user. This is necessary for compatibility (as the code is) with the phpBB integration to avoid that another user register with same email into phpBB (if you allow users to register also on phpBB side, and you have may also deleted this user in phpBB) while the user has been deleted in WP, but his email/username still stored into WP database signups table.
