wp admin page and cookies

May I suggest a partial solution?
I just passed from 3.1.10 to 3.2 too. I didn’t want to lose my configuration and what was on the DB but wanted to change the installation directory. So instead of upgrading my installation I installed the new 3.2 and used the same DB. That was pretty easy to do and You could probably do the same to have your forum in a directory and not in a subdomain.

I get help on the way to do it on the phpBB support forum, which was really strait forward without any problem, and really fast. Maybe that could fix your problem.

Here’s the link to the discussion on phpBB.com support forum: New install of 3.2, would like to use DB from 3.1.10

Hope it helps.
Best regards

I’am following this discussion since I also currently have a login problem with accounts created while the plugin is activate. No error message, it’s just turning without login the account.

I tried to found the code but mine is different in it’s this code:

  if (!isset($w3all_on_ext_login)) {

   add_action('wp_login', 'wp_w3all_phpbb_login', 10, 1);

  }

After having put it in comment the login is just doing like if it was working but in fact the account do not log at all. logged.

X rivoq : have you an install on subdomain of wp of phpBB in the integration?
Because on my test the problem come out only on subdomain. SO, i return back to cookies that aren’t correctly recognized maybe …

No. Website is at https://rivoq.ca
Forum address is at https://rivoq.ca/forum-archive and the iframe is at https://rivoq.ca/forum.

mvt3am : got the problem.
You can test that if you use a password that DO NOT contain special chars, all work!
The problem come out in some servers, not others.
This i’ve find out for sure. You can test out the thing.
Set a password like mynicepassWORD1243 for example. It will work!

So, the problem is that passed password need to be escaped.
If anybody already know the fix needed, just post …
the fix is coming by the way i think, we are very near to the solution of this stupid mess.

Solution:
file wp_w3all.php
search for code:
$check = $wp_hasher->CheckPassword($password, $hash);
replace with:

$password = esc_attr($password);
$check = $wp_hasher->CheckPassword($password, $hash);

All should be resolved.
The 1.5.7 wp_w3all.php file will be immediately updated, while 1.5.8 is coming.

Yes, everything seems to work beautifully now for the login.

But I had to delete a test user account that I created while I was testing the plugin, before the update. The cookie was probably unrecognizable. But I recreated it and everything is perfect. (Except for the Widget & Parallax not showing in the iFrame. But I made another support request for that.)

Thanks for your amazing job.
