 * On one of my webseite we are using a very very old theme. It works, but it is
   not widget capable.
 * How can I insert the phpBB Bridge widgets manually into the theme? I looked a
   bit around but did not find any information in the readme and here in the other
   threads.
 * Please help! 😉

 * Hello, msebaid.
 * There two options for now, in order to get the phpBB Bridge.
 * The one is to copy the whole folder named wp-phpbb-bridge under the /wp-contents/
   plugins/ in your wordpress installation.
 * The second is to downloaded directly from out web site [http://www.e-xtnd.it/wp-phpbb-bridge/](http://www.e-xtnd.it/wp-phpbb-bridge/)
   that has the latest version (2.0.7).
 * Even if your theme is too old, if you following the WordPress updates, then you
   can modify easily your theme in order to allow widgets usage.
 * Following some tutorials you can follow, in order to register new widget areas
   in your theme:
