   Hi all,
   I searched this forum and also via google. More I read the threads, more I got confused because I am a novice in all these HTML, php stuff. working hard to learn.

   I already have a phpbbforum running in http://www.mysite.com/forum
   I would like to use WP and install in http://www.mysite.com

   THen I wish to create links like home, about, contact,forum on the main WP - index.php page.
   So when somebody clicks on forum, it should point to http://www.mysite.com/forum

   I will also add similar links in forum header so that I can come back to home.

   I would like to use the same template that I used in phpbb forum (conundrum 1.08-mikelothar.com) in WP for consistency.

   Can this be done?

   Please let me know in simple steps to start.

   Appreciate yuor help.

   thanks,

   drb

   Please let me know in simple steps to start.

   If you are a "novice" as you stated... there won't be any "simple" steps. Just what Churchill said to his people when the war started :)

   In a theme you can have links to anything you want, including your forum.
   How to put a link in your forum to your homepage - it's a question to be asked in the phpbb support forum.

   You can design a theme that looks similar to whatever you posted (BTW, unless you make the URIs clickable I will not visit them; no time for copy/paste) - there is a lot of good stuff about theme design:

   Thanks moshu:

   I have only one database allowed. I am already using for phpbb. So for WP, can I create different tables with different prefix like WP_ while phpbb already has phpbb_

   So with one database can I have full functional WP?

   thanks,

   drb

   Yes, you can have your WordPress tables in a database with other tables from other software packages.

   Sorry asking in bits: thought too many questions will put off people.

   I am using conundrum 108 (www.mikelothar.com) template for phpbb and would like to use the same for WP. Is there a way to do that?
