Greetings!
I’ve used punbb along with another piece of software (sitelok). First you would have to decide which database will be the primary database. I chose the sitelok database to be the one controlling the logins, and then modified the sitelok login script to log in the user to punbb. Also in that modification, I did a lookup on the user in punbb… if they weren’t there, I inserted them into the punbb database. I’m not sure this is an optimal solution, maybe there’s a better way, using WP as the primary database. Anybody out there have suggestions? FYI, I posted the code I used in sitelok, below.
