Forum Plugin For WordPress

Last week I set up a community website based on WordPress. The main feature is of course a forum (discussion board) for the members. There are so many forums available on the net such as phpBB (open source) and vBulletin (commercial) but can not impressed me. I mean some of them are too much for me, especially for the paid one ;)

If you asked me why I used WordPress instead of pure forum, it is because I need to have a CMS to publish news, blog posts, and articles and allow member to comment. We have it on WordPress right?

Thanks to Andy Staines who creates a plugin for wordpress named “Simple Forum (SF)”. The installation is easy as usual plugin install. SF is using WordPress User Management for the membership system as well as user registration. To allow user registration, you need to tick “Anyone can register” under WordPress Option.

SF has a feature called “post linking” which provides a possibility to create forum topic posts based on blog entries and vice versa. Only members who are allowed to post on blog have this option while making a new topic post. RSS also available to ease you in placing forum feed in your blog.

You need to try it to feel its power. Download link is available at http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/.

Here is the screenshoot of my forum.

    Menggunakan plugin seo untuk wordpress memang sangat perlu karna dapat mempermudah optimasi seo blog seperti membidik keyword dan kemudian memodifikasikan dalam setiap postingan / artikel.
    Misalnya anda membidik keyword meja kursi maka dengan menggunakan plugin seo judul keyword dan diskripsinya bisa di sesuaikan dengan isi artikel agar mudah ditemukan di mesin pencari.
    Hal serupa telah saya lakukan untuk situs saya https://www.meja-kursi.com/ yang mana setiap keyword yang dibidik masuk dalam index search engine

  39. Cool, I like this Simple Forum plug-in seem really nice! I like WordPress. So free WordPress, free plug-ins and more. FREE hosting. I just found out this place and after some months on it, I can say it’s a good spot! You have 1500mb of space, everything WordPress need and many tools via cPanel too. Take look!

  40. I am so glad I found this post. I set up a forum using this plug-in in about 2 hours – but I know the next time I use it will be much faster now that I’ve figured it out! Had a few troubleshooting issues with set up and my theme, but now that it’s up I couldn’t be more happier!

    I really can’t believe this plug-in is free, its that’s good :)

  43. Thanks for such an opportune piece of advice when looking for a forum plugin for WordPress. I had struggled with intergrating bbpress although I expected it would, having mastered the integration, be possible to modify the aesthetics through additional theme changes. However, I’ll go with your recommendation because I didn’t set out to become a CSS editor. I have enough texts of my own to modify. Thanks again.

  47. Okay, what if the blogger doesn’t want people posting in other areas of WordPress, but only on the forums. Does it allow for that?
