FORUMS

FORUMS is a WordPress plugin designed for Multisite networks, giving each site its own message boards without disrupting the rest of your network setup. Instead of relying on a single global discussion space, it lets site admins embed forums directly into any page or post. This makes it easier to support community conversations where your content lives, improving engagement across the network. Built for straightforward setup, FORUMS combines simple embed code with basic styling controls so the forums fit your site design.

The plugin also includes Pro Sites integration, so you can restrict how many forums a site can add, helping align community features with membership value while keeping forum creation manageable.
