Description

WP w3all phpBB provides free user login and registration integration between a phpBB bulletin board and WordPress CMS.

Wp w3all phpBB integration

Integration cookie based between WordPress and phpBB installed on same and subdomains.

After the setup and initialization of the plugin, WP users will automatically be added into phpBB when they register into WordPress (or in the case of old existent users, when they will login into WordPress), while without using the phpBB extension installed into phpBB, if users are allowed to register in phpBB, they will be added into WordPress when they will visit the WordPress side as logged in or at their first login in WordPress (or install the phpBB extension to add users at same time into WordPress when they register in phpBB). But you could use the plugin just only to transfer users between phpBB and WordPress by activating the plugin as not linked (read the help install page), or to show phpBB posts into a WordPress hosted into another domain

Great plugin and extremely helpful developer

ninjabeaver May 3, 2025
After making a couple of mistakes in setting up, the developer was incredibly helpful getting it all back on track for me. I do work for a few non-profit orgs who can’t justify spending loads of money on subscription plugins so this phpbb integration is brilliant. The two systems working together like this is fantastic. The forums load smoothly and everything is now working perfectly. I can’t thank axew3 enough, fantastic support.

Usefulness: 100% Easy to use: 99% Support: 100000% Ok. This plugins fills a big hole, if you want build a community, use forum, just must have. Bonus tip: You can use the gallery extension for phpbb, so it`s solve another problem, a gallery with user uploads. </p> <p>One thing, don`t forget regenerate your template after update. And enjoy. If you like it, support the plugin maker, he deserves it.

Hello the best plugin for integration between phpbb and woedpress. i tested in phpbb 3.3.7 and wp 5.9.3 and that is working perfectly. another thing i can mention to it, the fast support for it. please keep update this great plugin thank u alot and god bless you

Love this plugin with a GREAT developer that helps with any problems

First off, creating an integration between two very complex and large systems is not an easy task! Both WordPress and phpBB are very complex systems that work in quite different ways and I was very tentative about what this plugin was doing, and how it would work. I must say that the plugin works GREAT, and after spending a bit of time to read the instructions and understand WHAT the plugin is doing it all made sense and I was able to get it to work GREAT. I was doing a VERY COMPLICATED integration with multiple plugins that all dealt with users and passwords and I had two problems which the developer worked out with me very quickly online. AXEW3 is really a great developer and cares that people using this plugin are getting the most from it! Thank you for all your help! Please, READ and UNDERSTAND the documentation. If you don’t understand it go to the forum axew3 has setup and read and learn. Integrating WordPress and phpB is not an easy task! I am redirecting all my users to register and change their password in WordPress. phpBB does not handle any of the user/password handling and all customers go to WordPress for that. I am also using a memberships plugin that handles multiple paid memberships in WordPress including add-ons and upselling, etc which is why I needed to force all the registration tasks to WordPress. With WP w3all phpBB plugin it all works fine. Thank you for all your time and effort to solve a very complex and important challenge!!

Works great !
