I have the iframe working in WP and embedding my entire PhpBB site in WP. I am missing something big and I have looked. How do I just get the forums for example without all the headers to load. Logins, etc are working just not sure of these next steps.

you mean phpBB header? You would like to have phpBB inside embedded iframe, but without phpBB headers?

Yes I would like to have in an iframe of WP just the forums from PhpBB not the entire PHPbb site loaded as an iframe. Currently, after install the default after creating page-board is my entire site of phpbb including my headers and footers is in the WP iframe. How do I pluck out just the Div's containing the forums? I see other pictures of this being done in various topics so I think I am missing something obvious.

The iframe get the entire phpBB forum as is, so if you want a different result on iframe, you need to modify the phpBB template.
You can run the integration without iframe if templates are similar (or also not), or better, equals!

Ok I get it now. I have created a copy of my files that point to the same database with no header and footer. I am now using iframe and pointing to this set of files. I know I may have issues with cookies not being cross written as I now have phpbb, phpbb header and footerless as well as WP. I will test how this works. Thanks for your quick responses, they were awesome.

... all is possible, if you know how to edit phpBB template, if unfortunately the embedded forum template do not look like you want on iframe ... if any online example "of the problem" just let know.
