Is there a way to activate different plugins to different forums? Perhaps I’d like a certain rating plugin for one forum..A question and answer plugin for another forum etc.

a plugin will act across a wp installation.

So will all depend on how each plugi is implemented as to whether it can be forum specific, for instance bbp private groups only applies to forums which have a parameter set.

Can’t you modify plugins to work only on forums with a certain parameter? And create your own parameters to use on forums that you want to use the plugin on?

Of course you can – all wordpress and wordpress site free plugins are open source so you can do what you like!!

That’s great! 🙂 how? 🙂

How do I create my own parameters for forum?
What do I have to add to plugins to make them only work with the parameters I’ve created?

Spend several years learning to code PHP 🙂

Sorry but there isn’t a better answer to your question, so the short answer to your original question is NO, unless you learn to code or the particular plugin has been written to do that.

Ok, thought there might be an easy way to just add an conditional to the whole code and test if the forum has a certain parameter.
