Integrate PunBB forum into Wordpress
As I promised previously after installed LiewCF.com Forum, here I
describe how to integrate PunBB forum into Wordpress. The softwares
used are Wordpress 1.2.2 and PunBB 1.2.4. The same method probably
works for later version, too.
Note: I only make PunBB looks like part of the Wordpress, no integration on comments/post/etc.
I integrated PunBB and Wordpress, with the brand new k2 theme (http://binarybonsai.com/k2/). I think the results are great (http://www.almosteffortless.com/forum/), and I wrote a blog post about it (http://www.almosteffortless.com/?p=21). Please check it out and let me know what you think! And thanks again for your very helpful post about it.

I was waiting for K2 to become final before porting it to Nucleus CMS, I did the Kubrick port.
K2 is a very nice theme, I like how light it feels.
Thanks for sharing the how-to.
Nice
I'm working on a site that uses WP and Pun. http://www.therub.net
It's a bit messy at the moment, but there is a lot going on. I added the forum yesterday, and whilst it is already basically themed to fit in, there are a lot of other things that I plan to do.
I am also working on integrating search between WP and Pun, so that people can search sitewide, and the results will be displayed in sections: blog posts, forum posts. I'll release it once it is done if anyone is interested.

I sure would! Keep us informed!
Looks cool I would like to do the same thing
Can this integration work with column themes as well?
I would think so. The main idea is to put your wordpress header and footer on top/bottom of your punbb, and then get the css in there, too. so, it really should work with any theme out there.
I sure would! Keep us informed!
It's a bit hacky at the moment, but it does work.
I'll try to make the code a bit neater, and sort out the presentation a bit over the next coupld of days and then will release it for public consumption.
Great! I'm trying to get a Wordpress plugin that would allow you to use PunBB instead of the WP Comments system. There's a plugin that tries this, but it isn't working...
Please, who can help me? I was trying to copy and paste my css stylesheet, heather and footer and i don´t get the desired result.
Sorry for my bad english but i can´t find a similar forum in spanish.

It looks like you're pasting the Wordpress header in the wrong place. Look at this page and carefully follow the directions: http://www.almosteffortless.com/?p=21
