 * Hihi, just got this setup and am about to dive into what I’m sure is going to
   be a fun headache… But I noticed after installing this plugin, that the instructions
   say to “copy the plugin/wp-united folder to your wordpress plugins folder…” I
   have no plugin directory aside from the phpbb3 plugin directory, and I’m sure
   copying a folder to it’s source directory isn’t what was intended…. But if I’m
   reading the directions wrong, I wouldn’t be surprised. It is 5:30 am and I can’t
   sleep. Cheers!

       THEME CHANGES
       -------------
       If you need to install the template modifications for the subSilver2 template, use the subsilver2.xml file in the templates folder.
   
       if you are using another theme based on prosilver, make the above prosilver changes to your theme now.
   
       Remember to purge the phpBB template cache, and refresh your themes after making these changes.
   
       IMPORTANT NEXT STEPS
       --------------------
   
       Most of the work of WP-United is done in the WordPress plugin. Please copy the plugin/wp-united folder to your wordpress plugins folder, and follow the instructions there.
   
       REPORTING BUGS / GETTING HELP
       -----------------------------
   
       Please remember, 95% of reported bugs are user error. If you encounter any problems, re-read the above steps carefully, and make sure you have done everything as instructed, and try installing the mod using AutoMod. 
   
       Check that your phpBB server settings (especially "script path") and WordPress settings are correct, then try re-installing.
   
       If it still fails, please:
       (1) If you are getting blank pages, turn on PHP error reporting or look in your server log to find the underlying cause of the problem.
   
       Post this information, together with full details of any error, and what you did to generate the error, on http://www.wp-united.com , after performing a search for similar issues.
       ```

 * wpu consists of two parts – wordpress plugin which must be placed into /wp-content/
   plugins/ folder and phpbb mod which can be installed with AutoMOD, so you can
   upload the unpacked wp-united phpBB mod directory to <your forum root>/store/
   mods
