  • I had the same problem but I think I figured it out…

    If everything on the options and config is showing up “OK”, but users still wont sync, it could be 1 of 2 issues…

    1. Users must re-login to the phpbb forums in order for it to show up in WordPress user section. Users aren’t added upon registration, but by logging in…

    2. This is what prevented me from getting it to work… and it’s something the addon should make clear. In the wordpress Settings -> General, you MUST have “anyone can register” selected in order for it to start syncing users properly.

    I actually just ran into this exact same problem and was surprised to see that you had it this recently.

    I figured it out. The problem is that PHP by default has disabled allow_url_fopen for security reasons. However, you can re-enable it at your own risks. I do not personally know what the security risks are, but I am sure there are tons of google posts on why it is disabled.

    This option can be set back to “on” 1 of 2 different ways. Either by acessing your php.ini file and turning it on there…

    or if you don’t have that (if you buy from a host)…

    you’ll need to edit your .htaccess file in the root area of your website and add to the end of the file: php_value allow_url_fopen on

    Then it should allow that function to work properly again.
