WordPress & PhpBB Database Help….

  • Hello!

    I have a simple question, one that has been a headache for a little over and hour now.

    I want to integrate PhpBB with WordPress, but I don’t know if I should use my WordPress Database for my PhpBB or create a new Database for the PhpBB.

    Help is much needed….

    Thank you !

  • You can use the same database, just as long as you make sure that the database prefix set up in your wp-config.php file is unique for WordPress. You really won’t see much if any difference in resources or procesing time using one database for both, or using seperate databases.

    Having said that, i would actually recommend having seperate databases if possible. The biggest reason behind that is that you can back them up individually, and if something goes wrong in one, it won’t affect the other one.
