# [Plugin: Wp2BB] A few bugs

 * I installed this plugin and am experiencing a few issues.
 * – Time difference: there seems to be a 3 hour time difference between the time
   it is posted to the forum and the actual time zone setting of the forum. Both
   WordPress and, in this case, phpbb, are set to UTC-8. When replies are posted
   to the forum thread, they appear above the initial post since the replies will
   have an earlier time stamp.
 * – Not posting as forum user name as set in wp2bb. I have my forum user name set
   as Staff, yet the forum thread is posted under Guest. I have created a user as
   Staff and enabled permissions for that user to be able to post anywhere on our
   forum.
 * – Links are not being translated to BBCode. For the “Topic message text for posts:”
   field, I have the following:
 *     ```
       {$post}
   
       ---
       Article link: <a href="{$purl}">{$title}</a>
       ```
   
 * Any links in the $post will not translate to BBCode since I have HTML disabled.
   Will I have to enable HTML in order for linking to function correctly?
 * I have every field in wp2bb filled in except “Default forum for post:” and “Default
   forum for pages:”. When I did have these fields filled in, I don’t remember having
   as many issues.
