Hello all,

i´ve tried to setup the w3all phpbb integration plugin. But finaly the iframe integration doesn´t work

What did i do for now:
1. Downloaded the plug-in and installed it
2. Setup the "WP w3all" configuration in backend of wordpress. Configuration says everything is green and fine. forum template name is 'board'
3. do the modifications to overall_footer.php
4. log into phpbb ACP an recompile the style
5. copy /wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/addons/page-forum.php to the root Folder of my wordpress theme/style (/wp-content/themes/<theme name>/
6. copy the iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js file to the root of my phpbb3 installation
7. Edited the page-forum.php, so that it will be shown as new page template, when I will create e new page.
8. create a new page named 'board' and selected the template (see no. 7).
9. save everything, restartet apache server, reload the page (strg + f5), but finaly no phpbb Forum will be shown under the configurated page.

Do anyone have an idea, what´s going wrong with my configuration?

no server restart is needed of course.

what your url of WP and phpBB?

is phpBB install into a WP subdirectory, maybe named the same as is named your created page in WP?
es: wordpress/phpBBdir

in this case, you need to name the page something different than phpBBdir, or WP will not find out the page, will find out the existent directory.
Name your page in WP in this case into something else.
p.s if this is the problem, if still not just post ...

The configurated paths for wp and phpbb installations are:

WP
http://www.ipa-gaming.de

so this is not the problem.
And i've not well understand in first instance what you have write, sorry.

No, the procedure isn't as you describe.

Edited the page-forum.php, so that it will be shown as new page template, when I will create e new page.

do not edit nothing.
Build page in wp_w3all, config, put board as name and save/create: the created page will be page-board.php into your wp template folder.
If you want to add it manually (but it is normally not required), copy page-forum.php from w3_all addons folder, rename it as page-board.php and ADD it into your wp template folder.

Now create a BLANK wordpress page, via WP admin, name it board. Open this page.

Hello axew3,

ok, that was my mistake.

I tried to build the page with the wp_w3all config, but after that in my wp template folder is no page-board.php file.
I copy the file from addon folder to wp template folder and renamed it to page-board.php.
I deleted the old board page and created a new one. Just add, do nothing, and save that page - correct?
After reload the board page in frontend - no phpbb board will be shown.

What did I wrong?

Maybe it is helpful, WP is version 4.5.2, phpbb ist version 3.1.9.

No this should not affect.
so you have copy page-forum.php from addons, and renaming it as page-board.php, you've added it into your WP template folder
and do not work? If i load http://www.ipa-gaming.de/board/ it in effect display something else, and this is very strange.

Look Like you have a page-board.php inside your template folder, that isn't copy of addons's page-forum.php.
