Hello my friends,

How to add simple forum for WordPress site? What is the easiest way, and hardest way?

Need to add forum as a option to discuss on the topics.


Thank you very much
 
I prefer wpforo
It has a whole of lot of free features and their support is very active in case you have any problems
 
You have more than enough to start with. I'd also prefer WPForo. BBpress is a popular choice though
You can also install XenForo on a subdomain/folder (yourdomain.com/forum)

Also, check XenForo resources. They got great integrations like XFtoWP, so you can easily communicate via API
 
The easiest way to add a forum to your WordPress site is by using a plugin such as bbPress, wpForo, or Simple Press. These plugins provide all the necessary features for creating and managing a forum and are easy to install and configure.

On the other hand, the hardest way to add a forum to your WordPress site is through custom development, which requires coding knowledge and can be time-consuming and expensive. Building a custom solution from scratch involves creating a database, designing the forum interface, and implementing necessary functionality. This method may require you to hire a developer or learn to code yourself.

Overall, using a plugin is the easiest and most efficient option for adding a forum to a WordPress site, while custom development is the most challenging and time-consuming approach.
 
BB Press plug-in used is generally the forum go to for Wordpress.

BuddyPress is the membership plug-in also with BB Press.

At least, those are what I’ve used in the past.

BBPress is pretty outdated IMHO and lacks core functionalities.

Check out Discourse and this integration:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-discourse/
Our support community is using it as well and some other major brands.

We LOVE discourse and the integration with WP.
 
BBpress plugin is your best bet to go for having a forum on your WP site
 
Depending on your devop skills I would suggest discourse. It is a little difficult get setup and configure, but this software is pretty good and contains all features you might need. Also, they have community edition so, it is free.

You could may be try a wp plugin but, I would personally not mix things up. For example, I wouldn’t want my site to shut down if there is a sudden surge in the forum, and vice e verse.

you can use a plugin called bbPress as it is light weight and easy to use forum plugin that seamlessly integrates with Wordpress

I can vouch for BBpress as it is a simple and effective solution for adding a forum to Wordpress site
 
I lean toward

It has an entire parcel of free elements and their help is exceptionally dynamic in the event that you have any issues.

You can use WPForo, it's one of the best in my opinion.
