How to Create a WordPress Website With a Forum
If you already have a hosted WordPress website and domain name, skip ahead to the step titled ‘What you’ll need to install phpBB and create your forum’.
If you’re coming here completely new to the idea of building a website, here are a couple of things you’ll need to consider first.
A Webserver or Web Hosting Account
This is where your website will live. Website hosting is basically a computer with enough power to keep your website online 24/7. You can either do this yourself if you have your own server or, more likely, you will have a hosting account where you can pay a monthly fee for them to keep your website alive and kicking. This is what DreamHost is.
Step-By-Step Guide for Creating Your Forum
Now is the time to start creating your forum.
Installing phpBB Using Your DreamHost Control Panel
Let’s first start by installing phpBB using your host’s (in our example DreamHost) control panel.
1. Create an Account and Choose a Package
First of all, visit the DreamHost website at www.dreamhost.com and click on get started.
We’re going to be using the DreamHost one-click installer to keep it as simple as possible, and in order to do this, you need to have a fully hosted domain. For this, you need to choose either the shared starter or VPS option depending on what you need from your website hosting.
Once you’ve decided, click ‘sign up now’ on the option you’ve chosen.
At this point, choose whether to register a new domain, you already have a domain you wish to use, or if you’re going to choose a domain later.
On the right-hand side, you can choose whether you would like to pay for your hosting monthly, yearly, or triennially.
Fill in your payment details. Create an account by filling in your email address or signing in using your Google account, double-check the payment frequency you have selected and choose the checkboxes of any extras you would like included in your plan.
Once you’re on your DreamHost control panel, click on ‘Domains’ on the left-hand side menu to expand the options, and select ‘One-Click Installs’.
Select phpBB.
This will open the One-Click Installer box. Select the domain you would like to add phpBB to from the dropdown. If you leave the box after the forward-slash (/) blank, it will install it to your root domain.
If you wish to install it to a subdomain, write something in the box. For example, we might have chosen to add it to www.testurl12345.com/forum.
Once done, select ‘Install it for me now!’ and DreamHost will work their magic in the background to install it for you.
What if your domain isn’t appearing in the dropdown box?
Don’t panic. We just need to set it as fully hosted. For that, exit the installer box shown above.
On the left-hand menu select ‘Manage Domains’, and then on the domain, you’re looking to use, select ‘edit’.
Select the ‘Fully host this domain’ button. Then you can return to ‘One-Click Installs’ in the left-hand menu and follow the instructions as above.
At this point, you can take a break. Bookmark these instructions, step away, make coffee, have a breather. After installing a one-click install, it takes a few hours for the MySQL subdomain to update – so there’s nothing else you can do for a bit.
