WpForo – Multiple Forums on one WordPress

[andredebonk]

Greetings!

I really loved WpDiscuz and WpForo plugins.

I am making a website where I was going to use the language switcher for 3 languages.
So each post and page will have their translated versions, separate comments, and basically separate communities.

I tried installing polylang plugin.
For every new language, there are separate comments, so this works well.

However, I can’t make the same trick with the Forum.

I would like to have a cross-posting plugin, and if I have only one forum, it won’t work well.

Since I am having different languages and communities, I want each Forum to display only the content in its language.

I know that it is possible to use sections on ONE forum.. but it won’t work, because most Forum functionality will become unusable (Find new posts, posts/karma leaderboards)

Are you going to add the possibility to create multiple forums on one wordpress site?

Can you offer anything which could solve the problem?
Right now I can think only about creating separate sites for each language… but that feels so stupid.
WpForo is the only plugin that forces me to do so.

Hi @andredebonk,
I’m sorry but not. There is no way to have separate forums in separate pages with wpForo. The forum page can be just one. But you can create for example three categories in forum:

EN Category (e.g. ID = 2)
— EN Forum 1
— EN Forum 2

FR Category (e.g. ID = 10)
— FR Forum 1
— FR Forum 2

1. Then create a new page for EN Category and insert this shortocde in this page: [wpforo item="forum" id="2"]

2. Then create the FR translation of this page and insert this shortocde in that page: [wpforo item="forum" id="10"]

So you’ll have one forum page with all categories and languages in the main forum page /community/ And you’ll have another page with EN language category which will be changed to FR Category when you change the language.
But please note, that those EN and FR pages forum and topic links can’t work on that page, when you click on those link you’ll always go to the main forum page.

This is the only way to have two separate forum pages for two languages.

Is it possible to have cross-posting between WpDiscuz and WpForo on different wordpress?

So on Site A I install WpDiscuz as a comments plugin, on site B I install WpForo as a Forum plugin.

Can cross-posting pluging work for them? So all comments from site A comments go to Site B Forum, and all Site B Forum replies go to site A comments section

If that was possible, I would buy a full pack of WpDiscuz and WpForo add-ons.

You should understand that different sections on the Forum don’t solve the problem, since most of its functionality becomes useless.

If I try to nest 3 communities to live under one forum, most likely only one of them will live there.

Because of Recent Posts for people will show unrelevant topic, any site statistics and features are mostly unusable.

It is like to make living 3 families in one small room.

I’m sorry but that’s not possible.

Another option to have different forums for different language is having three different WP installation or sub-sites of multi-site wp installation. I’m really sorry but there is no other way to perform this.

Could you consider developing these features in future?

I have googled and found many similar requests from your users.

It requires 90% of plugin core change to allow multiple versions of each function without conflicting with each other. So I think this kind of changes can only be included in major versions, which are not coming soon.

Are you going to add WpForo bundles?

When I added all forum add-ons to cart for 3 sites, the total price is 366$.
You write on your site that auto discount is applied, but obviously it doesn’t work as expected.

Why not you make a super bundle with all plugins for WpDiscuz and WpForo?
I would gladly buy it.

Hi @andredebonk,
wpForo doesn’t have an add-ons bundle yet. We’ll offer an addon bundle when the number of addons becomes more than ten. wpDiscuz has 16 addons so we offer it. But you still can get a 50% discount once you put all the wpForo addons in the shopping cart. The discount will be applied automatically at the checkout page according to our Sale Packs 50: https://gvectors.com/gvectors-store-discounts-sale-packs/

But you still can get a 50% discount once you put all the wpForo addons in the shopping cart.

No, it doesn’t work like this.

I saw your article about it, but this function actually doesn’t work on your site.

As I said, when I added all of them to my card, the price stayed 366.

What are you waiting for, guys?

Make a bundle for WpForo
And also make a super bundle WpDisucz + WpForo.

Also, add the support of polylang plugin. WpDiscuz already works well with it, if WpForo could also support it (having a separate forum for each language), your product would become an outstanding bomb.

And also advice or question:
You should show examples of successful sites using your solutions with WpDiscuz, WpForo, Crossposting…

Because I struggled to find any.

Thank you, @andredebonk,

The discounts are designed for Single Site Licenses not for 3 Site Licenses. Because the pack of 3 sites is already a discount pack with about 50% discount. We don’t have discounts for discount packs. However, if you’re going to buy more than three 3Sitel Licenses you should contact us via support[at]gvectors.com for individual discount.

And yes, we’re considering to create wpForo bundle soon. However, the wpDiscuz + wpForo Bundle might not be offered. The separate bundles of both will already be resealable.
