www programming

I have the latest WordPress as well as phpBB's latest release. I "think" I did this install correctly. However, my phpBB does not inherit my website's theme. It still has it's own theme. Also, I have a membership plugin. I have my forum at mywebsite.com/forum. I have created a forum page in WordPress as per the directions. I have also enacted my membership plugin to not allow access to anyone on that page unless they're a member. That does not seem to work either. So I am a bit confused about the nature of this plugin. Is it designed to make my phpbb look like my website? I did all the changes in the various places (page-forum.php, footer.html, etc). But there have been no changes at ll to the look of my forum.

Any help would be appreciated.

hello, as you can see here as example, yes.
This basic example is with default themes to be maintained with easy, due to continues updates of phpBB and WP.
Refer to:
All hints into WP admin -> wp_w3all config page, about forum page template creation
and refer to this post:

and sub sequential posts linked on it.
Just ask reporting problems and maybe url so we can see what is going wrong with.

Thank you. yes I followed that guide during installation. Here is my forum: http://catchwrestle.com/forum

you have installed phpbb at:
http://catchwrestle.com/forum
wp at http://catchwrestle.com/
create a blank page in wp, name it forums (or board etc), but NOT forum in this case.
Create on WP_w3all the template page named forums, so you'll have into your active template folder the created template file page-forums.php, if not exist due to server permissions restrictions copy/paste manually it, as explained on wp_w3all config page hints.

Ok I will do that now and report back. Thank you.

You figured it out!!! Thanks very much. I just need to make some adjustments and then I should be all good. Again, thank you.
