    Hey, I was looking around the web how to do this. Very clear and easy instructions. Thanks a million.
  • Zeke · 4 years ago
    Very useful and easy guide. I had integrated punbb into my previous theme, but it was not nearly as clean as this way. Thanks! :-)

    Would anyone be willing to help me transfer my current invison power board database, into punBB, and then add it to my word press site? I'd be willing to pay if anyone wouldn't mind helping. I managed to get word press setup, but I really have no idea how to do the rest.

    Please email me if you could possibly help. Again, I'd be willing to compensate you for your time.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the great info. Any chance an update for WordPress 1.5 is forthcoming? The template engine for the new WP is pretty different, I'm having trouble adapting the instructions here for the new Wordpress.
  • LcF · 4 years ago
    The integration for WP 1.5 is similar. The PunBB is standalone from WP template engine.

    I just wanted to say thanks for the nice blog entry here. It really helped me to integrate my site. I wrote up blog post, too, that details the exact steps to integrate PunBB with the new k2 theme, and it even includes some files to download.

    I had another question for punBB integration.

    I want to use PunBB with wordpress, but my question is:

    1. Is it possible to have sub-forums in punBB 1.2.8?
    2. Can invision 2.0 be migrated to punBB 1.2.8 with all sub-forums intact?

    thanks.
  • LcF · 4 years ago
    Sajid: PunBB does not support sub forum natively but you can use the punbb sub forum mod

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried that link but it sayd its is for version 1.2.6 and i am using 1.2.8

    Anyways I have been able to import invision data into punBB (except the sub forums).

    My next question was about this tutorial.

    I did all the steps as mentioned here, but then how do i add the link of PUNBB to Wordpress??

    thanks again
  • LcF · 4 years ago
    mod that works for 1.2.6 SHOULD work for 1.2.8 as well, there is not much changes between the versions.

    You may manually edit wordpress template to add the PunBB link.

    Wow... very cool... I added a forum to my Star Trek site. It looks really slick in my semi-hacked Trekkie theme. Thanks for the easy tips.
  • Heather · 4 years ago
    Thanks :) I'm still working on my site, but got it to load with in wordpress looks beautiful

    Thanks again

    Would there be a way to do this but also integrate login information?
  • LcF · 4 years ago
    too bad, we haven't figure out how to integrate the members database with wordpress.
  • Nate · 4 years ago
    Between this article and your help to other people in the forums, I was able to integrate beautifully. Thanks a ton.

    Between this guide and the one at Almost Efortless (which had some more specific information) I got punBB inbedded into my WP site. Looks great (still have to tweak some of the default colors).

    Only issue I have is that the Administration section spawns a new page (much bigger) and does not display with the header/footer like all the other pages (that I've tried so far).

    Any idea how to get the Admin page to behave like the others?
  • quaker · 3 years ago
    has anyone got the information for the install of punbb to intergrate the username and pass with WP?
    so, that both pull the same user/pass from the db?
  • eldrick · 3 years ago
    I've followed the instructions on this and some other sites and my forum integration looks great, except for the search page. The 'container' background does not extend to the extent of the search area, instead i get the page background .gif image and its really not good. Any ideas?

    Hi, Newbie question - How do you rip the header?

    view page source, select and copy what you have between <head> and </head>. Remove any wordpress related code.

    300 is a great movie full of visual effects and graphics which made it different and much better.
    Acting was great, director did a wonderful job and chose great actors, full of action, and it is based on a true story.
