Title: phpBB Recent Posts Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # phpBB Recent Posts * [ealvin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ealvin/) * (@ealvin) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpbb-recent-posts/) * I found the “phpBB Recent Posts” plugin but I have some questions about it’s use. * I opened the php file. Inside I find this info … * function show_posts($limit = 10) { global $wpdb; //Put your phpBB and wordpress database info here: $WPDB = “wordpress”; //WP db name $PHPBBDB = “phpbb”; //phpBB db name $USERS_TABLE = “phpbb_users”; //phpbb user table $TOPICS_TABLE = “phpbb_topics”;// phpbb topics table $POSTS_TABLE = “phpbb_posts”; //phpbb posts table $SITEURL = “[http://yoda.gatewayy.net/forum/”](http://yoda.gatewayy.net/forum/”);;// Forum URL with trailing / //Do not edit beyond this point * I know the name of my WP database but I’m not sure about the name of my phpBB db name. I assume that’s my db user name, is that correct? And as far as site url I guess that’s my [http://www.urlname.com/blog](http://www.urlname.com/blog). Would I then save and upload this to the Plugins folder? * If all of that is correct I have no idea how I activate it and place the posts where I want them in one of my side panels. Can someone help? And of course, if there is anything I’ve left out please let me know that as well. Thanks so much.

If so just use one of the RSS plugins for WP and feed it the phpBB RSS feed. * [cpjolicoeur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cpjolicoeur/) * (@cpjolicoeur) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpbb-recent-posts/#post-169286) * I’ve looked for a MOD for phpbb and found a “supposed” RSS 0.92 MOD but can’t seem to get it to work. I don’t really want an RSS 0.92, I would need an RSS 2.0 feed and can’t seem to find anything like that. * [alans17](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alans17/) * (@alans17) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpbb-recent-posts/#post-169312) * That link to the above-mentioned plugin is still down. In fact, it looks like that entire subdomain is down. I’m really interested in this plugin, though. I need it for a site I’m building as a Christmas gift. * If anybody has it or knows where to get, please contact me. My email address at yahoo is alans17. Thanks in advance. * [andresen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andresen/) * (@andresen) * [20 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/phpbb-recent-posts/#post-169314) * I want this plug-ins.
