If you want the topic in the forum created for your post or page to include a message with some text other than the default (as set in “Topic message text” in Wp2BB admin), simply include a ‘msg‘ custom field in your entry with the desired text. Wp2BB will use this text and not the default when creating the correspondent topic in the forum.
Remember, you can use some text replacement:
{$post} Wordpress post text
{$title} Wordpress post title
{$purl} Wordpress post Permalink
For instance, in this very post I have included a ‘msg’ custom field with the value:
‘This is a custom message for the post “{$title}” in the blog’
Check the correspondent topic in the forum (by clicking in the “x messages in the forum” link below) and check the PhpBB topic text.

My posts are going into the forums as blocks of text and not holding formatting? Do you have any idea why?
Also could you make your credits look more like a button or something?
I don’t mind crediting you but it looks like you wrote my posts with your name at the bottom :P.
Oh and final request. Since I think I figured out the formatting thing :).
Can you make it so if I delete a post because of formatting issues, the next time someone sees that post on my website it’ll RE-reload to my forums?
Because now my most recent stuff won’t repost :(. But old stuff will.
Scratch THAT last request I just read your FAQ.
I’m retarded sometimes -.-
Thanks Michael. So you have figured out the formatting definitely? Then it is just a matter of making the credits smaller. You know what, go ahead and remove the credit lines, it wasnt such a great idea anyway
