Yes, I have a page named “forum” but it´s blank.

Thanks

Try forum admin > Integration > Page and permalink panel. Down the bottom. Follow the popup help. See if that resolves it.

Thank you so much 🙂

Hello,
I have tried to get my head around a whole heap of information & am still really unclear on how things work..I want to set up a blog through WordPress.com, the paid version where I have my own domain. I want to add a forum to my blog. I am wondering, can I use Simple:Press with a normal blog site, or do I have to register a blog with WordPress.org..? It says on their website the forums are only available with WordpPress.org..does that mean, as a feature provided by them?, or does it mean, full stop, no plugins for forums unless you have a your blog on wp.org..?
I’m sorry if this makes no sense, I’m a bit confused..

Thank you for any clarification you can provide me with here..!

T Ruegg.

To be honest I am not sure what is or is not allowed using wordpress.com. As it is free then I suspect that there may be a limitation on what plugins can be used but I am not sure. certainly the WP folks will be promoting the use of bbPress which is the wp forum plugin (as used on their support site).

I didn’t even know there WAS a paid version of .com but if there is then I would think there should be no restriction on what plugins you can use.

Ok, thank you. I also sent them a message asking if I am able to use a forum & eCommerce on a WP blog site or whether there are restrictions, as in VIP accounts or whatever, so hopefully they will clear this up for me.

Yes, I know about the bbpress forum plugin through WP but I have read that it is a bit complicated & that yours is also a good plugin & easier to manage..being that I have no technical knowledge ease of use is big for me.

Interesting. bbPress is a much more basic forum – I am not sure how complicated it is to use however.

Would you mind explaining to me what you mean by it being much more basic..? less features or..? Would you recommend Simple Press for a beginner?

I like the look of the SimplePress forum much better..

It depends what you want. bbPress is more like an older style bulletin board. It is fast and painless but not very fully featured. It is ‘basic’ in that respect.

SP is based more upon a more traditional and feature rich forum application. You may end up having to put a little more effort into SP (depending on if you want to make changes or not) but we hope we offer a more full-forum style experience.
