[Support request] Is There A Site Library Template For A Forum Website?

[Clark]

Hello,

I had a quick look myself but couldn’t seem to find it so far, are there any templates in the GeneratePress site library with a built-in forum?

Many thanks

Hi there,

no there isn’t a site in the library that has a Forum built in.
Forum plugins add quite a lot of stuff to the database, which makes them kinda things tricky to import using our Site Library ie. they are prone to break.

Thanks David. If the forums break a lot would you suggest I go down the road of setting up a Discord server or use another community website? I have fairly limited technical skills, I’m alright at setting up basic WordPress sites using Plugins and such but if the forums tend to break a lot it sounds like setting up the community on WordPress might not be my best bet?

Hi Clark,

I think what David means forum stuff are prone to break during the importing, not on the website itself.

You can give Bbpress plugin a try, our site (generatepress.com) is using this plugin for forums 🙂
