   Hi. I'm brand new to WP but am excited about the possibilities.

   I've building a five-page WP website (not a blog) and I have an established phpbb message board that is not in the same directory structure as my WP site. Is it possible to have "Recent Posts" from the phpbb bulletin board be posted on one of my WP site pages? If so, what is the process for accomplishing that?

   Any help appreciated. Thanks.

   There used to be a plugin, WP United, that did that, but it seems to have gone away.

   If phpBB has rss feeds, you could use that to import.

   I believe phbBB does have RSS feeds. If this is the case, can you give me a few clues on how to get started displaying those on my WP site? Sorry for the newb question but I'm brand new into WP.

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss-import/ for one.

   You'll have to look for a plugin that pulls the data in the way you want.

   Just to resolve this question, a plug-in was not necessary. I just pulled the RSS widget in and added the feeds link from my phbBB site. It worked great. Thanks for the help.
