AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
PHPBB Single Sign On is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 5 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How PHPBB Single Sign On works
Show full descriptionShow less
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.
WP2BB With WP2BB, you can now define that your posts are published in a forum, so that your community can add comments directly on them.
You can add the method “wp2bb()” on your template so that you have links to your forum to add comments and a replies count

P.S. : WP2BB was created by Alfredo de Hoces (http://www.alfredodehoces.com/)
Uninstall To uninstall, you have a few steps to make
Go the the Plugin options, revert the “auth mode” to “DB” and not “wpbb”
If it doesn’t work go to the ACP in General -> Client communication -> Authentication
