Allow users to post without login

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to create a page where people can post questions and reply to them. Basically a forum, but no need for the different sections. Unless wordpress.com can support a forum within a page….I just want my students to be able to post a random homework question and anyone can just come in an reply with an answer is what I want.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Not an option at WordPress.com.

    You can, of course, make a forum elsewhere and link to it.

    You can also have a page with nested comments for people to post questions and answers in the form of comments and replies, but that could get messy.

    What do you mean a page with nested comments? Do I just start a post and have students reply and ask questions one after another?

    And then periodically delete the page and start all over?

    You could do that, but i’d suggest rather than a post, do a static Page. Writing it’s just like writing a post, but it stays in one place and then you can just go in and delete all the comments when it’s time for a new topic. KEEP the page; deleting content is something search engines don’t like. Keep the page, just delete teh comments when you want to wipe the blackboard as it were.

    Thank you so much! I’ll look into making a static page. Have a great night!
