Using Wordpress v3.1.1 to setup a new CMS.
BBPress is not satisfactory, therefore I have chosen to use phpBB for the forum platform.

I have the wordpress bones laid out, and also settled on the boldy theme (Site5).
I would like to retain this theme for the Forum, so I need to find out how to embed a phpBB forum within Wordpress.

How do you embed a phpBB forum within a Wordpress theme?

I had heard good things about WP-United, but their website has been down for over 3mths now, and the author has not responded to my emails. Therefore I am concluding that the developer is retiring the plugin, and my confidence in it being futureproof is low.

There's no real embedding of another software into wordpress. If you want to visually embed it, then you'd have to take a look if and how phpBB uses templates and then add the same nav to the phpBB templates. The look and feel can be done via css. You'll have to

• a) add the same css IDs and classes to the phpBB template parts as you got in your wp templates or
• b) Make a new stylesheet for phpBB and asign the same style definitions you got in your wp stylesheets to the according phpBB html-elements.
