WP w3all phpBB

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   After making a couple of mistakes in setting up, the developer was incredibly helpful getting it all back on track for me. I do work for a few non-profit orgs who can’t justify spending loads of money on subscription plugins so this phpbb integration is brilliant. The two systems working together like this is fantastic. The forums load smoothly and everything is now working perfectly. I can’t thank axew3 enough, fantastic support.

   Usefulness: 100% Easy to use: 99% Support: 100000% Ok. This plugins fills a big hole, if you want build a community, use forum, just must have. Bonus tip: You can use the gallery extension for phpbb, so it`s solve another problem, a gallery with user uploads. </p> <p>One thing, don`t forget regenerate your template after update. And enjoy. If you like it, support the plugin maker, he deserves it.

   First off, creating an integration between two very complex and large systems is not an easy task! Both WordPress and phpBB are very complex systems that work in quite different ways and I was very tentative about what this plugin was doing, and how it would work. I must say that the plugin works GREAT, and after spending a bit of time to read the instructions and understand WHAT the plugin is doing it all made sense and I was able to get it to work GREAT. I was doing a VERY COMPLICATED integration with multiple plugins that all dealt with users and passwords and I had two problems which the developer worked out with me very quickly online. AXEW3 is really a great developer and cares that people using this plugin are getting the most from it! Thank you for all your help! Please, READ and UNDERSTAND the documentation. If you don’t understand it go to the forum axew3 has setup and read and learn. Integrating WordPress and phpB is not an easy task! I am redirecting all my users to register and change their password in WordPress. phpBB does not handle any of the user/password handling and all customers go to WordPress for that. I am also using a memberships plugin that handles multiple paid memberships in WordPress including add-ons and upselling, etc which is why I needed to force all the registration tasks to WordPress. With WP w3all phpBB plugin it all works fine. Thank you for all your time and effort to solve a very complex and important challenge!! This topic was modified 6 years ago by jwonder.

   This plugin is INCREDIBLY GOOD. I can’t fathom that the author has made such a great plugin. He seems to have thought about everything. Yes, the English instructions are a bit hard to read. But once you have this set, it works FLAWLESSLY. It is so slick, so fast, so incredibly great and it just WORKS. I can’t believe this is free. Oh my god, I’m actually fangirling right now!!
