Let’s face it, PHPBB3 is the industry standard in free forum software, likewise WordPress is industry standard for Blogging/CMS. Getting these two to talk to each other isn’t as hard as it sounds…
THIS TUTORIAL IS OUTDATED. PLEASE CHECKOUT THESE PLUG-IN’s:
Everything is provided in a screen-cast. (Best viewed in 720p or 1080p)
Essential Links

(note: WP-United is no longer supported/maintained by it’s developer…I just happen to have a copy as a courtesy)- Download AutoMod
- Installing AutoMod
- Installing Mods with AutoMod
Again, this tutorial is outdated and I cannot provide support
hey dude; can u upload ur wp-united folder please?
they isn’t a folder in it called like “root” or sth else.
There are some files missing, thank u!
The file structure is completely different to what you show in the site. I have no idea about how to install this, as it doesnt show up in Automod
I’m sorry Jon. This tutorial is over 2 years old. You should check out: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-phpbb-bridge/
It seems the download you have is only the WP plugin side of things, and not the phpBB files aswell
Thanks for the reply Greg! Checked it out, and it wont work for me, doesnt integrate the users…. confused haha!
The developer from wp united has months to respond.There is a new plugin for bridge (it is plugin for WordPress not for phpbb) that does the bridge. You can find more info here
http://www.e-xtnd.it/wp-phpbb-bridge and at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-phpbb-bridge/
Buddy, I cant reach this damn website. wp-united.com :/ If you have the latest version, can you send me via email ? :/
Here ya go: http://gregrickaby.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=6
I’m sorry but I really don’t understand…
The website of wp united is off, and i’ve found different packages but none of them looks like the one in your video.
I downloaded the one from your link but it is the same and i just don’t get how to install this.
I’ve try to put it in the wordpress plugin but when I activate it, it tells me to run a set up wizard that i can’t find.
What am I missing? do i have to find a wp united for wordpress and another for phpbb? please, enlight me :)
Ups, typo! WP-united is great if you use small amount of plugins….
Wp-united is great, if you dont use very small amount of plugins in your WordPress… otherwise, it’s no use :( When you want to apply settings in phpbb3 wp-united mod, it throws out errors.
It doesnt like “PixoPoint Menu Plugin” and “QuickShop”…. maybe others too, but i’m not in the mood to test them all.
Does this work on wordpress 2.9 and phpbb 3.06?
This looks cool so far, what’s up people?
If there’s anyone else here, let me know.
Oh, and yes I’m a real person LOL.
Bye,
sorry but can you write? down what directories the wp-united files are written to, van’t make out in the vid. thanks
such as a quick file structure?
wow well that was GREAT . . . Thanks for sharing =o) – I came across a little problem with AUTOMOD – the language folder on my PHPBB install was set to /en-US/ and auto mod served the files up as /en/ – Just has to change it took me a second to realize but I almost went on a wild goose chase anyway thanks for the info and I hope this can help everyone
Hey Greg,
Can you post a mirror copy of wp-united? The website seems to be down constantly.

You are AWESOME! Thanks for taking the time to post this. I unfortunantly lost my phpBB database before I found this, but man you ROCK!!!!
Was able to get the bridge up in no time following your direction. Thanks again!
Hey Greg!
Great tutorial. I’ve been looking for an easy way to do this for a couple of projects I’ve been working on.
