This is the best working integration plugin out there. I really don't use the integration cause I disabled the wordpress registration so all the accounts will be on phpbb. :)
The problem is phpBB is not doing well nowadays, they're not updating and most of the plugins don't work or need a lot more work for it to work.
I really want you guys to make an integration for myBB or SMF forums. Also if ever, keep your widgets, I really love them. :D
It works as it should.
Very easy installation instructions too.
Thank you :)
I don't normally leave reviews for WP plugins but felt compelled to here. I've been through the mill in terms of manual WP and PHPBB integrations over the past few years. Decided to try this plugin tonight on a new install to see how it would work. Have to say that it was completely seamless and a joy to install. As I said, I've been playing with this area for a few years, initially back when Joomla was popular. (I don't miss those days!)
There are lots of features to play around with and a large collection of ready built widgets. Some additional tweaking of the widgets wouldn't go amiss but hopefully this will come with future updates.
This should be a premium plugin because of the complexity -versus- ease of use balance achieved.
Anyone that votes less than a 4 for this great plugin has no idea of working with WP or has been smoking strange stuff.
I have been working with a lot of forums, such as bbpress, Simple:press, mingke, and others. But none of them had the functionality of phpBB. To install phpBB itself, you should indeed have some knowledge, but it is not that hard after all if you follow instructions.
But that is about phpBB.
The integration with WP is an other story, and this is why wp-united is so good: it's easy to install & use, it works perfect and I got GREAT support.
Anyone looking for a good forum should use phpBB and WP-united!
Installation for this plugin was extremely easy and quick. I had no problems configuring the necessarily settings to make the plugin work properly.
The user interface is extremely intuitive and easy to navigate, making this plugin extremely easy to use. It's highly customizable and has a ton of available widgets for use in WP, adding polls, recent topics and user birthdays or stats to your WP page.
Just few minutes ago i have integrated phpbb3 v3.0.11 and WordPress 3.5.1 so easly.
Everything had gone perfectly. Actually to tell the truth i was surprised in all steps. Because its like both software is produced by this team :D.
Thanks for the plugin and hard working!..
If you use phpBB and WordPress combination, WP-United is the way to go. I had tried this plugin in its early stages and it had several issues, and at that time I went with another plugin that was available.
However with my site re-design, I re-assessed current status of all possible options and was surprised to find WP-United in such a good shape. Easy to say, it works flawlessly.
And it has several very useful features which came in handy: Theme integration and User mapping (auto and manual). Plus if Theme integration does not work out of the box, there are several options, e.g. adjusting integration level (off / medium / max; medium worked for me). And there is always possibility to add some manual tweaks to CSS (reset.css) to ensure the finest look.
Thanks for this plugin and keeping up the good work/support!
tnx . this 5* is only for this plugin's great and fast customer support.
If I could rat twice , I would Rate a 4 Star for the plugin its self !
Need widget integration to phpBB, and this plugin do more. Easy setup (in wordpress and phpbb with automod).

Get fast $ 1000 wwwPaydaySure.com Stockton, CA within next business day Get $1000 cash in one hour. You can also apply urgent $ 200 www.PaydaySurecom Bakersfield California low apr .
Payday loans are of help when you have a real unexpected emergency. Should you be novice and not aware of the effects, pay day loans could be very unsafe. This article has all the information you have to know about payday loans.
When contemplating a cash advance, despite the fact that it might be appealing make certain to never borrow over you can afford to pay back. As an example, if they allow you to obtain $1000 and put your car as collateral, nevertheless, you only need $200, borrowing a lot of can cause the loss of your automobile should you be incapable of reimburse the full personal loan.
Realize that payday advance frauds exist. Some people cause as payday loan companies, however they would just like your hard earned money and information. If you're enthusiastic about a firm, ensure you explore the Better business bureau (Better Enterprise Bureau) site to determine if these are outlined.
Constantly read through each of the stipulations involved with a payday loan. Establish every single point of interest, what each achievable fee is and how a lot each one of these is. You need an emergency link loan to help you get from your existing situations to on the toes, but it is easy for these circumstances to snowball over numerous paychecks.
Should you not have ample resources on the examine to pay back the borrowed funds, a pay day loan business will promote you to roll the quantity more than. This only will work for the payday advance company. You are going to turn out holding yourself rather than having the capability to be worthwhile the borrowed funds.
Before you take out that payday advance, make sure you have zero other selections available. Online payday loans can cost you a lot in fees, so any other choice can be quite a greater answer for your personal total finances. Look for your pals, family and in many cases your bank and lending institution to determine if you can find some other possible selections you can make.
Don't try to get payday cash loans without having any kind of documentation. There are specific things you need to take when looking for a payday advance. You must provide them with your revenue facts, an ID, as well as your banking accounts number. The thing you need will be different by enterprise. You must contact prior to going, so you know what papers is going to be required.
Prevent taking out a payday advance unless it is really an urgent situation. The exact amount that you simply shell out in attention is incredibly huge on most of these personal loans, it is therefore not worth every penny in case you are getting one on an daily cause. Get a bank loan when it is a thing that can hang on for a while.
Consult with the Better business bureau before taking a loan out with a definite organization. There are many which are good and ethical, but some aren't trustworthy. When the company has experienced problems lodged from it, see how the corporation reacted.
Bad credit is not going to necessarily exclude from payday loans. A lot of people may benefit from these financial loans, however they don't because of the less-than-perfect credit. Most companies would really give you a bank loan if you absolutely have a reliable work that gives stable cash flow.
Be sure to find out about any rollover when it comes to a pay day loan. Some loan companies who give payday loans will prepare to renew the loan and consider service fees and fees and penalties from your accounts completely automically. This could be away from your management upon having put in place the loan. This causes it to become nearly impossible to get rid of a cash advance and will cost you a whole lot in charges. You can prevent these pitfalls by simply studying the lending company extensively.
Shopping around for pay day loans is a need. Various creditors have varying prices appealing and listings of costs. If you discover a good deal, maintain seeking to see if you can find any greater versions on the market. Don't opt for a single firm until they have been thoroughly reviewed.
Usually take into account all of the methods to have a loan before selecting a payday advance. You could potentially request a cash loan out of your bank card service provider your rate of interest could be lower than with many online payday loans. You must also try out credit cash from family and friends.
Whenever you obtain a payday advance, try to find a loan provider that needs you to pay the financial loan back again on your own. This is superior to one that quickly, deducts the exact amount right from your bank account. This may keep you from by accident around-drafting on your own account, which could lead to much more costs.
It is obvious that payday cash loans can be a useful choice for individuals who find themselves lacking funds to pay for crucial household expenses or include unexpected expenditures. You need to recognize how these personal loans job prior to taking 1 out, even so. This will not be so desperately should you always keep this info on hand.

Report: Richest 7% richer in recovery
The richest Americans got richer during the first two years of the economic recovery while average net worth declined for the other 93 percent of households, saida report released Tuesday.
The upper 7 percent of households owned 63 percent of the nation's total household wealth in 2011, up from 56 percent in 2009, said the report from the Pew Research Center, which analyzed new Census Bureau data released last month.
The main reason for the widening wealth gap is that affluent households typically own stocks and other financial holdings that increased in value, while the less wealthy tend to have more of their assets in their homes, which haven't rebounded.
from the plunge in home values, the report said.
Tuesday's report is the latest to point up financial inequality that has been growing among Americans for decades, a development that helped fuel the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Former Russian President Boris Yeltsin has died at the age of 76. No word yet on the circumstances around his death.
AP-Obit-Yeltsin (Tops)
World leaders are remembering former Russian President Boris Yeltsin as a courageous fighter for democracy.
A spokesman for the State Department said Yeltsin "led Russia through a period of historic transformation." Defense Secretary Robert Gates said no American will forget how Yeltsin climbed on top of a tank to stand up against a coup trying to restore a dictatorial regime in Russia.

A story filled with a department store Santa, a Leg Lamp, a Snow Suit and friends that will never leave your side – even if your tongue is stuck to a Flag Pole.

Satan has many devices to cause confusion and heartache for God's people. One of the tools he uses so successfully is to cause stumbling blocks to be placed in our paths.
A stumbling block is something which causes us to err or to stray from the truth. Casting a stumbling block in one's way is the opposite of being our brother's keeper.
The seriousness of casting a stumbling block in one's way was made very clear by Jesus when He said "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in" (Mt. 23:13). The very ones who should have been helpful were guilty of making it more difficult for God's people to do what was right.
The problem of causing others to err has been evident since long before Christ. Isaiah wrote ". . .Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people" (Is. 57:14). Malachi also wrote of the problem when he chastised the messengers of the Lord who " . . . . are de parted out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts" (Mal. 2:7).
Ezekiel wrote at length about the shepherds who were more concerned about their selfish interests than they were about feeding the flocks. In Ez. Chap. 34 he wrote of those who neither cared for the diseased nor sought those who were scattered. The sheep wandered upon the face of the earth and no one searched for them. The stumbling block was acts of selfishness and neglect.
From this example and other scriptures, we can understand that there are many ways we can cast a stumbling block in the way of God's people. Perhaps the most serious stumbling block of all was committed when the Savior was put to death. This was done to discourage others From following Him. The Jewish leaders at that time were willing to go to any extreme to silence the message of salvation and to prevent anyone from following Jesus.
Persecution against Christians has been tool that Satan has used ever since Christ arose from the dead. "...And at that time there was great persecution against the church. . ." (Acts 8:1). Throughout history and continuing to our time, persecution has made it difficult for those who want to worship God.
The preceding examples have been quite blatant and easy to recognize. We must also understand that there are more subtle, but very effective, stumbling blocks that cause men to fail. We must be careful that we do not allow ourselves to be guilty of them.
"Christian liberty" has often been used as justification to engage in activities that, at best, are borderline sin. It is true that Christ came to earth to liberate us from Satan. It is also true that we ". . . shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption unto the glorious liberty of the children of God" (Ro. 8:21) and ". . . where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (II. Cor. 3:17).
The Apostle Paul wrote much about liberty. In Romans 14 he encourages us to have forbearance with a weak brother who may not have faith to do as we do. However, he also wrote of the need to "...take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumbling block to them that are weak" (I Cor. 8:9) and to "...use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another" (Ga. 5:13). Peter wrote that we must not use "...your liberty as a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God" (I Pe. 2:16).
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, The fish of the sea, And the stumbling blocks along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land," Says the LORD.
Zephaniah 1:2-4 ...........So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:7-9 .........So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"
Revelation 13:3-5 .......And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
Revelation 13:13-15 ............Revelation 14 ; Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - A local soldier is taking a break from the battlefield and looking forward to being a newlywed again.
Friends and family packed the Grand Junction Regional Airport Monday afternoon to welcome Army Specialist Zackary Mills back to Grand Junction.
Mills has been serving in Afghanistan for the past six months and spent time in Iraq prior to that.
He says he's happy to be back in Colorado and looks forward to spending the next two weeks with his wife. "I'm excited that everybody came, relieved that everybody came because during the last deployment, I didn't have anybody, so I'm definitely really into it," he says.
Mills is on personal leave for 15 days and then will return to Afghanistan to finish his tour of duty.

After beating Blades low stick side, during a thrilling deck hockey shootout, Gus Tringale couldn't help but smile.
"It was really fun," said Tringale, 10. "I was better at hockey than I thought."
Tringale was one of approximately 40 Brooks Elementary School students from Mrs. O'Leary and Mrs. Snow's fifth grade class that earned passing grades as part of the Boston Bruins ICE School, during a special deck hockey scrimmage, May 10.
Boston Bruins Mascot, Blades, along with members of the Bruins Ice Girls, were all on hand. Their goal was to get the students revved up with an energetic shoot around, prior to the Bruins Game 5 playoff match-up with the Toronto Maple Leafs at the TD Garden.
Judging by the number of students in attendance, many of whom were dressed in Black and Gold regalia, one thing was clear — the Brooks School is clearly backing their Bruins.
"It was fun," said Chris Freeman, 10 "The scrimmage was great."
Mike Smith agreed.
"I loved it," said Smith. "It was pretty good, better than I thought it was going to be. This was actually much better [than gym class]."
The Brooks Elementary is among many local schools that have enrolled in the Bruins ICE School, a program that has been introduced to over 3,000 students. And the numbers are growing rapidly.
Sponsored by AT&T, the Bruins ICE (I Can Excel) School program is aimed at igniting the pupils' passion for learning. The program provides supplemental curriculum for teachers that incorporate the sport of hockey and the Boston Bruins into each lesson plan.
The course fits within the New England CORE standards, and was created by a panel of teachers from various schools across New England. Lesson plans are aimed to reach students from the kindergarten level through eighth grade, and include all major subjects as well as French, Computer Science and Geography.
Since Brooks Elementary School teachers Ellie O'Leary and Angela Snow, were already a part of the program, their school was automatically entered to win the visit from Blades and the Ice Girls.
"It was awesome," said Ellie O'Leary. "We do the ICE program every year with them and its just really fun to have a cumulating activity where the kids can – after doing the lessons plan throughout the year – that they can come and do something really fun."
"It's nice," she added. "Especially with the Bruins playing tonight."
The students were treated to a special deck hockey clinic with Blades and the Ice Girls. The gymnasium was divided into two sections, with both a boys and girls game going on simultaneously.
This set the stage for a penalty shot challenge, which featured a handful of students and even the teachers getting a chance to shoot on Blades.
Page 2 of 2 - This isn't the first time the Brooks have been visited by members of the Black and Gold.
"Last year, we were lucky enough to have Tuukka Rask come to our class," O'Leary said. "This year they called for a pep rally, so that was fabulous."
O'Leary appreciates what the Bruins have done off the ice and around the community.
"It's a great program and you saw how much fun they had," said O'Leary, noting how the students couldn't wait for Friday nights face-off against Toronto. "It's going to be a good night."
