Forum on Wordpress?

[Avabelle]

I want to place a forum on my Wordpress website - and my computer skills are limited.

Is there a Wordpress Plugin that will set up a forum for me?

I am looking for the easiest way to do this.

I would really appreciate feedback.

Thanks.

You should try the bbpress. We did a similar setup for a client some years ago and it worked out perfectly for them since it allowed their registered members to easily access both backends with just one login. They did not have to create separate logins for either wordpress or bbpress. It was a breeze

I tried bbpress on a site I had once, but it was terribly limited in functionality. There are a few scripts out there called "bridges" that can link a certain software with WordPress so that you can still have the single login functionality (I believe the best one is for phpBB).

If you want something very simple, go with bbpress.

If you want an actual, full-fledged, forum software, go with phpBB and a bridge.
