Overview

About this plugin

This plugin allows to use the password from a working phpBB installation to log into a WordPress blog. or on the other side to log into phpBB with the WordPress user.

The username for the administration must be the same on the two installations.

Otherwise you will end having admins that have no privileges on the other part.

How it works

There is no actual “sync” of the users.

When the app is configured correctly. the app checks that the user who tries to log in is at least registered in one of the systems, if yes, and the password is correct: he’s logged on both systems and his account is created if missing.

On password change it should also set the password on both platforms.
