Okay, here is a new thing for me, I'm really sick of my site at the moment, it looks disorganised, so I have decided to use WordPress for my actual site and keep the phpbb forum - so I'm pottering around the internet and I come across a site that there is no integration *looks shocked* so I look around again and they have just got a new thing (well new to me anyway) called WP - United and it says that it can be integrated, then I get to the download page and it says.............. that its compatible with Easymod Beta 3.0 *everyone sees how excited I am about this news* so I have added the links for people to see for themselves.......now all I need is for my database not to clash!

AB recently installed this on his forum. You might want to check out the discussion we had getting Wordpress installed on his site:
WordPress 2.0+ / RSS Feed
Other than problems customizing the look and feel of Wordpress because the code is so complicated, it seems to be working properly on his site:

It's really not that difficult to install. Just use the same database that you use for your forum so that you can bridge Wordpress and phpBB together. If you need help with it, I would be happy to assist...

okay, it's not recognising the database, even though I folloed the instructions to the letter, I'm sure that I missed something!

Can’t select database
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress database.
* Are you sure it exists?
* On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?
|
the stuff that I have put in is:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'moonfire'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '***************'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
everything should be working fine!
I'll check over it again and see what I get  |

Do you have a good and recent backup of your database? If not, your host might and might be willing to restore it for you...
You don't need to store the Wordpress folder within the phpBB forum folder. But you do need to connect to the same database. In fact, it may complicate it a bit more if you store the Wordpress utility inside of your phpBB forum folder. I would keep them separate even though they will be connecting to the same database...
I tried to connect to your FTP Server but the login failed...

The database listed in your forum's config.php file is 1. Is that what it's supposed to be or are you still using one of the moonfire_phpbb databases???
