  Hi. Is there a theme on wordpress.com that has a forum function built in it? If yes, what are they?

  Thanks.

  Hi @reyarquero,

  I don’t there are any themes here at WordPress.com with forum functionality.

  The main purpose of WordPress themes is to show/present content; they don’t generally add functionality.

  One possible workaround would be to use a forum service that is hosted somewhere else that you can link to from your navigation menu at pivot212.com.

  Alternatively, you could move to a self-hosted version of WordPress and use a forum plugin like bbpress.

  *I don’t think.

  Apologies for the typo in the previous comment.

  The closest thing we have to a forum-like experience is the P2 theme, and even that is more like a Facebook timeline experience:

  Gary’s suggestions are good ones. If you need help with anything else, just let us know.
