I can confirm this is an issue. I had to disable new user registration on the forums, so that new accounts could be created only from WordPress. I also edited the theme templates for the forums so the login links pointed to the WP login page instead. Less than ideal, but it’s a viable workaround.
I figured out a little patch with the help of a similar post as far as having independent databases (although mine’s is really buggy). I don’t know if the developer of this plugin checks this forum, but if I can run it past him first, then maybe he can give it the ‘ok’ & create a alternate plugin for people using independent databases.
I tried this patch and although I get the different DB option added, when I select that and save – I get the following Error – Looks like the db call is different : [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 922: mysql_error() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
Looking at that line – $str = mysql_error( $this->dbh ); – I dont see this call anywhere in your code – so maybe I am getting a db error and it is highlighting another WP error. btw – phpBB DB Connection No errors OK – sems to think it is chatting to the db – unless the error is misleading.
WordPress version 3.4.1
php BB Plugin – Is 0.8.5 (thats what it shows as common.php installed versions) it says recommended 0.8.5) – Still not able to save Auth Method to wpbb
Anyone have a fix or partial fix I can work with for this ?
Also errors in the wp2bb widget – is getting a sql error , but that could be due to another issue.
Noticed the patch I was working on was 0.8.5 – I have upgraded to 0.8.7 and the problem is still present (unable to save when selecting wpbb – if I have 2 databases)
