I’ve got a phpbb forum and recently I’ve added a WordPress website to my domain. I want my phpbb users to be able to login to my WordPress page using the same username and password they have on my phpbb forum.
I’ve tried to get the connection working. But I can’t. So does anyone have a solution for this?
How about trying the WP-United plugin? It seems to do what you want:
User integration: including single sign-on, synchronised profiles and
avatars, and user management. Works with external registration modules
such as social login plugins. Users in phpBB get accounts in WordPress
and vice versa. Completely controllable and customisable by setting
permissions for who can integrate and at what level, using a unique
drag-and-drop interface.
From its reviews:
Thankfully this plugin lets me synchronise phpBB accounts with
WordPress so that users that register on my forum can make use of the
aforementioned WordPress features without having to make a separate
account for that.
Here are a couple other plugins that might be worth a look, too:
- phpBB Unified Login
- PHPBB Single Sign On
