I’m moving my writing community site from Spruz to WordPress/Buddypress site. On the current site we have used the forum function to set up various writing activities under a number of categories where members can post work, goals, and various other things using a visual editor… I want to replicate this on the new site. Any advice on the best and easiest way forward? Will the bbpress plug-in allow me to create a forum category with sub categories?

the new site is expatwritersabroad.com but I haven’t completed the set up yet and it’s still under construction.
Thanks in anticipation

you can add visual editor to the bbpress forms in and do many other things using

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Topic/reply form

and yes you can have categories and sub categories etc,

no problem, yes this is a sub plugin for bbpress, so install bbpress first, then this
