If you’re working on a website that is primarily focused on being a forum then this plugin might be too simple for you. But in my case (a website where the forum is supposed to be a side-asset to my whole website) the simple thing was just perfect. I wasted a lot of time to understand other complicated forum plugins which would have overwhelmed the user as it should just be a way to communicate user’s ideas regarding the website’s goal. So i really just wanted to let that out because to find this plugin was the best thing that happened today.

I am rating all plugins that has kept my website running smoothly while using the free versions and ForumWP is one of them. I am a beginner and I don’t know what exactly it does but it has been a month since I am using this plugin. Thank you very much.

Hi,
We’re using the free version but in our emails within the settings, there is only “Mention” however it looks like we should have “New Topic” as well, is this missing or a pro feature? The plugin is up to date with the latest version.
Kind regards,
No matter how many forums I create the page is just blank, no forums, nothing. And yes, the page was set in the settings.
It is buggy, when you place an image as an icon, regardless of the type (png, ico, etc.) when you enter the forum, the image is duplicated, one of which takes the entire page width !!
On the other hand, it’s too simple, it doesn’t even have breadcrumbs!
In addition, it loads a new page in Self_ mode and not in Dynamic mode, which means that the layout of the header and others disappears and does not display any breadcrumbs, nor the possibility of returning to the main page . When we create a new topic, it is placed under the footer and breaks the layout. I think this plugin can be interesting because you can use images as a forum icon, but now it doesn’t work which makes it rotten! to avoid!
