I’ve looked into it further, the users_upload file is writable, however, any user folder it creates within that folder is not set to be writable. It will create the folder, but there will be nothing inside the folder…

could this be the issue why nothing is in these folders? Because the folder is not initially writable?

However, even when I manually set it to be writable and try to upload again, the folder is still empty..

It does create a User Folder when I try to upload, but the folder itself comes up empty? Not sure why it’s not saving the files I try to upload..

Well.. nevermind, it just fixed the coding issue above the uploader… the files I try to upload don’t show up anywhere in my FTP and I it says page can not be found when I try to download the file it just uploaded.. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to hijack this post, but since you’ve replied..

Does this uploader, upload to the site ftp? if so, does it create a folder for these files? I tried searching through my ftp and didn’t find anything after successfully uploading a file..

I am also getting this error above my uploader:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /EditedSiteLink/wp-content/plugins/nmedia-user-file-uploader/nm_fileuploader.php on line 88

Thank you for your assistance

Speedy,
I had this exact same problem when I was running a forum prior to the wordpress plugin. I had no luck and had to start both from scratch.

Sorry for the bad news mate, but it looks like you’ll have to start both from scratch..

I’d be interested if anyone has a fix for this though..

Here are the steps I did in order to get this thing to work.
This is the first bridge that I have actually gotten to work and it is by far easier than any of the other “bridges” out there.

1.) First off, You need to ensure a few things:
Your forums are a subfolder of your wordpress file structure or vice versa, there have been different reports of people who have created their wordpress as a subfolder within their phpbb folder and opposite, I don’t think it matters either way, but the way I did it was I put my phpbb forums as a subfolder of my wordpress site.

2.) I set up my phpbb and wordpress in the same SQL server, other reports have said they set them up in seperate SQL servers without issue, I’ve tried both and only could get it to work when they were in the same SQL database. I also used MySQL 5.0 – not sure if it matters.

3.) I used the same login name, password, and e-mail for both WordPress and PHPBB admin accounts. Not sure how others did it, however, the creator of this plugin recommends using the same for both.

4.) Once you have your wordpress and phpbb forums set up, download and install the WP phpBB Birdge, then activate the plugin.

Note: There is a difference between activating the plugin and activating the bridge. You will activate the plugin, in order to see the added WP phpbb widgets.

5.) Once you’ve activated the plugin, go to widgets and add the phpbb username widget. (I went ahead and added all the phpbb widgets, just to be sure everything I needed was there) This was the step that people said you HAVE TO DO before activating the plugin under the Bridge options.

Note: To be clear, you must NOW place the widget, do NOT ACTIVATE the bridge in the Bridge Settings Tab without the widget in place.

6.) Go to the WP phpBB Bridge tab and set the paths for config.php and ucp.php

typically it should be similar to this depending on your file structure:
Path to config.php:
/home/content/html/wordpress folder/forum folder/config.php

URL to ucp.php:
http://YOUR-WEBSITE.com/forum/ucp.php

7.) Assuming you set it up the exact same way I did, set up the admin accounts to be the exact same, installed the plugin, activated it, installed the widget, set the paths, you should now be ready to activate the bridge and login under the widget you just placed and able to login to your wordpress admin panel without a problem.

Note: upon logging in, it will authenticate through your PHPBB forums. Meaning, you sign in through your widget, it sends you to the forums to authenticate and then transfers you back to your main wordpress page. This is normal, this is how the bridge works. It authenticates through your phpbb forums, not your wordpress site.

If you’ve completely botched this up, there are a few things you can do:
1.) The easiest method is to go to your website FTP, locate your wp-content folder > plugins and completely delete your PHPBB bridge plugin

and/or

2.) Use Mike’s method:
If you need immediate access to wp-admin then all you need to do is FTP into your WordPress plugins directory and rename the wp-phpbb-bridge plugin folder to something else. You’ll be able to access wp-admin once again. The problem however is that the bridge function of the plugin is still enabled in MySQL… Here’s the fix for that…

Login into phpMyAdmin from your CPanel and open your WordPress database. Search for wpb_active and select all the DB tables before clicking Go. You’ll now see the row wpb_active, click on edit. Change both “yes” values to no. You now have your wp-admin back!

hope this helps and isn’t too confusing. Good luck!

Same with me jynx3004, had to start everything from scratch..

Crash84, read some of the previous comments, as I’m almost positive anything people have had problems with has been posted about in this thread..
