    Hello. I have a blog that was built with wordpress and I'm adding a PHPBB forum to it. Does anybody know a way to make it where people have the same log in automatically with the two?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I dont know specifically for that combo but theres sometimes bridging mods available to allow both scripts to use the one login.

    I think this is the type of thing you are looking for but it doesn't seem to be supported any more.

    I would be quite interested in something like this myself.

    Edit *
    There does seem to be some recent posts on their forum

    Ya, I have seen a lot of people, doing searches, talking bad about it. But, i tried it anyway and it messed up my site.

    I was wondering if there was a way to make them share the same DB or something then change the config files around

    I have bridged chats to both but never the two together. I think setting both cookies and connecting the sessions all that needs be done for log in. Of course there should be only 1 signup that would need to insert the info into both databases.
    Is there a big interest in this? I am looking for some modules to develop for link bait.
