 * Is it possible to show my phpbb forum in a page?
 * For example creating a link in the page menu and opening the forum where the 
   page was suposed to be?
 * thanks!

 * Just add a link to your forum to your theme’s sidebar.php. That’s all you’re 
   trying to do, right?

 * hello
    just do a simple searche in the plugin directory and you will find a loooot:
   her a link: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=phpbb](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=phpbb)
 * Good luck 😉

 * not exactly, if I put a link to the sidebar it will show the forum page itself.
   I was wondering if there’s a way to keep the blog template and make the forum
   appear where it was supposed to appear the other pages of the site.
 * [@taghaboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taghaboy/) – It only showed 2
   plugins, and that’s not what I was looking for. I had already done that before.

 * Okay, I think I understand what you meant to ask. This is it:
 * Is there a plugin that will make my WordPress template, users, and everything
   else work with PHPBB?
 * No. You would have to do considerable work on your phpBB template to make that
   work.
 * Try bbpress instead if you want it to integrate easily into your blog.

 * It’s more or less this. Let me try to explai better. I use the hemingway template.
   So the posts or the pages show on the top and at the bottom you have the navigation
   menu, right?
 * What I would like is to have the “forum” link in the navigation menu and then
   when someone clicked on it, the forum would open in the top like if it was a 
   post or a page, and the bottom part would still be there so the person could 
   navigate to somehwere else

 * Again: To do that, you will need to modify your PHP BB’s theme.
 * Go through the WP theme, remove all WP tags, replace them with something appropriate
   to PHP BB.
 * Since I’ve never tried to skin PHP BB (although I have run it in the past), I
   can’t be more specific. You would probably want to look for PHPBB-specific support.

 * You can integrate WP and phpBB, including user login and the whole bit, by using
   the WP-United mod for phpBB:
 * [http://www.wp-united.com/](http://www.wp-united.com/)
 * Using this mod (simple install using easymod) you can have your forum inside 
   your blog (as you describe) or the other way around.
 * You can have your blog’s sidebar, header, footer and everything display around
   your forum, though this complete integration will slow down your forum a bit.
   It also won’t validate (probably — mine won’t), but it works like a gem.

 * Wow. That’s cool. If it lives up to its promise, it will be darn cool.
 * Although I still favor bbpress over phpBB for most purposes…
