Using my PHPBB3 database

    Greetings!

    First off, I am new to WordPress and this question might be stupid or a repost. I did do a search for my question but all the answers seem “dated” and the plugins I found seem out of date. If my question is placed wrongly then I am sorry, don’t scorn me :(.

    I am thinking of using WordPress as a frontpage for my gaming community. The installation seems simple enough (I am using an Ubuntu server for this) but I want to use my MySQL database from my PHPBB3 (latest version) forum. As I stated before I found multiple plugins that can do this but they all seem dated.

    What would be the best course of action in realising this?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Dyrvex,

    Just so I can clarify, are you looking at having one database that holds both your PHPBB3 & WordPress installation?

    Thanks.

    Hi Dyrvex,

    All you will need to do when setting up your WordPress installation is enter the same database details as your PHPBB database.

    This will automatically add the tables to your database.

    This is if you have a new installation of WordPress, you will need to do other things should you want to import a current database, is this what you are trying to do?
