I have a disagreement with a designer on setting up bbPress forum on a new website. The design company has experience in forum setup.

The disagreement is here nor there really as I put it in the original site map document but now they say it’s not.

My question is how easy is it to setup a simple forum? How many hours? All I need is a simple forum for a very small community. 3-4 sections (General, Troubleshooting, Q&A etc) and that’s it. Management wouldn’t be through the design company.

A bit like this forum http://wpcandy.com/discussions/ .

Appreciate your thoughts.

It’s quite simple to get ti up and running – just work you way through the following resource

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

If you are using a default core theme, it’ll be going in a couple of hours. if you have a custom theme, the functionality will be there, but the look and feel might be a little different from your theme, and you’ll need to style it – not that hard to do, but does require some knowledge of using FTP and a code editor.

I’ll be finishing this article during the next week.
