Support Forum
Our website currently uses IP Board for it's online forums - though the rest of our site uses WP. We would like to switch over to simple:press but after looking through all of the information, I'm not sure if we would be able to fully or even closely replicate what we have now with IPB.
I've looked through your add-on listing and see there are a number of features that are comparable, but I can't really "see" what they look like in all cases, how they integrate, or how much customization we would be able to do on the admin side. I also don't see a "chat" add-on. IPS is removing it's chat feature in a future upgrade. It's one reason why we are looking to migrate away from them, so I'm wondering if it is even possible to add on a chat feature to simple:press.
Is there a way to see or test any of your features before purchase and/or to see the back end of things to know how much we would be able to do what we need with it?
Thank you!
you dont have to purchase simple press.. the core plugin is free with no limitations... we do offer additional themes and add on plugins for sale... so you can certainly try it and use it...
There are many wp chat plugins... doesnt seem like a good use of our time to recreate the wheel... just use one of those... since simple press fully integrates into your wp site, any chat plugin in use will still be there... most folks put it in the sidebar or footer...
have you check our our importer: https://simple-press.com/downl.....er-plugin/
we can import many other forum types including bbpress, invision, mingle, phpbb, simple machines, vbulletin and wp forum... I will caution that the invision importer piece was written by a user but its been used by fair number of folks...
additionally, there is a service call gconverters (http://gconverters.com/) that can also import many forum apps into simple press... folks have had good success with them... I must add that we are in now affiliated with gconverters - just passing on that some other folks have used them...
