Use Asphostportal to create forum

  • @adamit88

    Hi All,

    So, I’m trying to build site using Asphostportal hosting services. I actually have something pretty nice. One of the things I wanted to do was add a forum. Talking with the Asphostportal tech support people, they suggested getting wordpress (hosted through them) and then downloading the bbPress plugin, and easy-as-pie – NOW YOU HAVE A MESSAGE BOARD!

    But that’s where they left me.

    I’ve been trying for hours to figure out how you go from the dashboard, which is basically a blogger UI, to turning it into a message board. For years, I was an admin for a little board we all ran, but it was a YaBB board and everything I had to do, I did from the admin panel.

    Is there a simple way to make this plugin look and behave like a message board?

    Please help this poor little sheep.

    so with wordpress and bbpress installed, you create a forum in the dashboard and then create a page called say ‘forum’ and in the contents put

    [bbp-forum-index]

    save this page, publish it, and then view ot and you will see the forum.
