Creating a group forum
-
I am so confused. I signed up for the business plan because I want to add a community forum for my followers. I’m a writer in the true crime community with a large following (100K) and keep getting kicked off of forums such as Facebook and Instagram. I have no idea how to start a forum or a group on my WordPress site. Does anyone know? I have also heard there’s a way to add a private area for my Patreon account, but I’m so lost. Not a clue how to do anything. Can anyone help me please?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
To create a forum you’ll need to use a plugin like BuddyPress or bbPress:
There are other options, but those two are the most popular. You can contact their support directly for help with how those plugins work.
To create a members-only area on your site, you’ll need a membership plugin. We recommend WooCommerce Memberships, as we’re able to also provide support for that plugin on our Business Plan, but there are also other options available online.
Your Business Plan gives you access to 24/7 live chat support, so if you have any more questions you can ask them there in real time instead of waiting for a reply on a public support forum. You can reach live chat at any time from https://wordpress.com/help/contact
