There is no link in the site menu to the forums. I think that’ll be needed for those who don’t know what the URL is, or that these even exist.

Redirecting /forum/ and /discussion/ to /forums/ is probably a good idea too, for anyone who tries to navigate here directly.

Federate this forum! It would be awesome if it were possible to display the content in the forum on other public places, such as Lemmy. https://join-lemmy.org/

This would allow us to use this forum directly, but also make the discussions that happen on this forum display in other places organically.

It might be as simple as using the ActivityPub plugin, but might end up requiring some kind of customization between ActivityPub and BBPress.

Hi! As this is the first comment to this forum I wish you GOOD LUCK!

I think this will be a great place to discuss all the WordPress matters. Please consider to add a forum about SEO.As SEO changing often it would be nice to talk about recent and upcoming changes.

Awesome. :)

I also think you should ditch the “Your reply is awaiting moderation” message. If spam is a problem, then there are less invasive methods of handling that.

I wouldn’t have even thought it was necessary at this point. Forums tend to attract spam later, not when they’re brand new.

An unread posts widget would be useful. I’m not sure there’s a suitable one for bbPress or not; they tend to be resource intensive unless coded well.

I like that there’s only a small number of forums here. People tend to crazy and it becomes a mess with just a bunch of dead forums.

As social media empires rise and fall, proven technologies remain relevant. We are all attracted to the latest communication apps, like crows to shiny objects. But legacy technologies like email, forums, blogs, and podcasts continue to demonstrate the enduring benefit of open platforms and protocols. Congratulations to WP Tavern for embracing another open platform to keep the conversation flowing.

I thought I would never see forums back on the Tavern, yet here I am. Someone pinch me.
