I greatly appreciate help I've been getting here and I am following the steps that have been recommended. I originally asked how to upload a phpbb3 forum to wordpress, and you guys recommended to upload to public_html , which I did. Then what I did was find where the phpbb3 folder was in public_html and right clicked it to extract. Now this the part I am a bit confused with . I extracted it to /home/myusername/folderofsiteIwantitin . Was this correct? So now, when I click on the folder I extracted it to, there is the phpbb3 folder. So my question is, what is the next step in getting a phpbb3 template on my wordpress homepage. I am trying to make a link to it in the sidebar of my blog. I am a bit lost as to how to do this, I did research but I was only able to find info for non wordpress sites. Any help appreciated. Thanks
