Blog ChannelOctober 11, 2011So We Have a Forum3by YoU 223 days ago It took me a while but finally it is here. We have a forum now. A simple, easy and clean forum without any distractions, and fits in our current theme very well. I use bbPress, the well-known forum plugin from the Automattic family, to build the forum. Basically because it has the best integration with WordPress and if consider all the factors like future integration with other plugins and extensions, you may not give other alternatives a try (I love phpBB though). bbPress is never the best forum, but it should be the most clean and simple one. If you take a visit to the forum, you probably can only see threads and a few numbers. Nothing else. Probably is too simple for a forum we are going to use. The reason behind the simplicity, mostly because the latest version just released last month, with most of the codes were rewritten and the old plugins are no long able to support the current update. We will see more plugins coming, and we may extend the functionality at that point. That best part of bbPress is, I can easily embed a specific forum and topic in a blog post. This is an amazing feature and you can see the example below. Registered users (you can use the login form on the sidebar to register or login) can use the forum reply form to reply directly to the forum thread without leaving the blog post. Also we can easily bring up heat topics to all our readers who happened to miss the popular discussion. This is really amazing.More features are coming step by step, towards a brand new community, and probably a brand new theme and layout. If you are interested in the blog and the forum, why not take a look at it and leave a message for us?Home › Forums › Hello New PadawansThis topic has 10 voices, contains 22 replies, and was last updated by MistahBlob 131 days ago.
