Hi!

We are just setting up a phpbb 3.2 installation in a wordpress-site for testing purposes, you can see it here: http://www.wikiabt3.uni-hamburg.de/

The wp-w3all plugin is successully installed and the empty page we set up is showing up in wordpress´ header menu (we called the empty page "board").
http://www.wikiabt3.uni-hamburg.de/board

Unfortunately on the Wordpress-page with the forum-iframe the header menu is not displayed.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot!

I haven't done a "non-standard" setup before, but I believe that what you need to do is rename the page-forum.php to page-board.php this file is located in WEBROOT/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/

The alternative is to change your phpbb folder to something like board or forums, and your wordpress page to forum. Then the stock install will work. If you intend to take this route, you'll need to change the folder name in your ACP BEFORE you change the folder name. I believe that you'll also want to clear your phpbb3 cache too.
