Hello,

I have integrated my phpBB forum thanks to this plugin into my WP.

mydomain.com/forum <-- phpBB running

mydomain.com/board <-- my iframe in WP for phpBB.

Do I have to worry now for duplicate content or something regarding /board? How is the best practice to prevent SEO Google damage thanks!

The iframe joke, take care of bots.
They aren't affected by nothing in iframe.
Unique problem was last topics widgets and shortcodes, time ago pointing all to same wp page containing the iframe.
This problem as been resolved, widgets links are real phpBB url's, pointing to real phpBB urls:
only onmouseover, they switch the href to point to wp page forum.

You can see that is, going into wp main 'page or reload it.
Point your mouse into a last topics link: it display real phpBB url.
But in the while the href switched.
If you click you redirected to page forum.
Do not click, re-point your mouse over the link. It now display the page to wp with phpBB iframed.

The code you add into overall_header.html or overall_footer.html, do not affect bots.
You do not have to take care of nothing about this, all will work as ever for bots!
