 * Hi – I recently installed wpForo on a clean install. Today I noticed that WPForms
   Lite is also installed on this site. Does installing wpForo also install WPForms
   Lite?

 * Hi [@boardboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boardboss/),
    No it doesn’t.
   WPForm is a **form** builder plugin, and it doesn’t have any relation to the 
   wpForo **forum** plugin.

 * Hi [@gvectors-team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/),
    Thanks
   so much for the prompt reply, and the confirmation. I didn’t think so, but then
   I have no idea where the WPForm plugin came from. Not from a theme or any other
   plugin that I can see. Cheers!

 * [@gvectors-team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/) A quick 
   follow-up that might help others in the future if they find this thread.
 * As it turns out, there was a plugin called WP Mail SMTP that had been installed
   and removed. Why an SMTP plugin would install a forms plugin is a mystery to 
   me, except that since the same company also offers the forms package, maybe it
   is a little creative “advertising”? In any case, I do not like plugins that sneak
   other plugins onto a site like that. 🙂
