Support » Plugin: WP-United : phpBB WordPress Integration » I cannot log in to phpBB using Chrome

    Hi there,

    I tried to log in to phpBB using Google Chrome. The log in was successful but when it jumped back to the index page of phpBB, it automatically logged me out.

    This happened in only Chrome, the Safari browser worked without any problems.

    Cheers!

    By the way, I cleared the cache and history, restarted the computer, it still didn’t work for me.

    Hello, zwang. Why don’t you post a link to your website and forum?

    However, there are a few things you can check in the first instance:
    – Check your phpBB settings, especially cookie settings and script path
    – Caching plugins that cache the forum page won’t work (you could show as logged out, or logged in as a different user, and the behaviour can vary across browsers)
    – Make sure that phpBB and WP are installed on the same domain
    – If you have user integration turned on, then turn on debugging in WP-United’s options.php. It will tell you what’s going on.

    Hi nata-lee and jhong, thanks a lot for your help!

    I currently have a bit trouble with my domain, but anyway my WordPress is in

    http://www.example.com (/home/www/example.com/public_html)

    and phpBB is in

    http://forums.example.com (/home/www/forums/public_html)

    The cookie domain in phpBB is set to: .example.com

    Is that alright?

    Thank you very much!!

    Hi,

    Sorry I just checked — it’s been a while. Subdomains should be supported, but it is a new feature that has received very limited testing.

    To be honest I can’t help much further without seeing the real settings from the “Get Help” section in WP-United. There is a tool there that obfuscates them if you like, so please post them.
