Interesting this discussion, as I have been looking at wordpress integrated forums, and short-listed Mingle and Simple Press does anyone have links to their existing forums so that we can view them?

Ok, so it sounds like SimplePress is still regarded as a good solution. Maybe I’ll need to bite the $99 bullet ….

Hey Guys, I’ve been looking for a forum script that integrates with wordpress (common sign in) for a while, and was also a fully featured forum, as I have used phpbb and like it .

Simplepress would seem to be the one that fits the bill, but I too have been put off by the payment for the support; although I fully understand how anyone needs to make ends meet and everything isn’t free in this world ….

to be honest, I would be more comfortable paying for the script, and having a free support forum I think…
But, I suppose if the quality of service is there in the support, then $99
per year is bearable….
But, it is difficult to assess the quality of the solutions and support without being able to see the answers ..

bit of a catch 22 really

The other forum script I was looking at was Mingle

Ideally I want something to run a social network type thing, with a decent forum, on a multisite install – my current tinkering is with buddypress and simplepress, but I may also try Mingle Forums with Mingle Plugin

anyone any thoughts on this?

also, whilst browsing reviews of backupbuddy i found this https://wptwin.net/

hmm – choices – choices … anyone used any of them? any recommendations?

cheers

Thank You – that looks like exactly the sort of thing I need – many thanks

I do have access to the original sites’ wordpress Admin panel if that helps …..
