Hi Ihor,
What plugin do you recommend integrating on the website for a support discussion forum for users? I like yours. Which one do you use?
Thank you,
Caroline

Please try using bbPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/ It’s the most popular yet lightweight forum plugin. If you have many listings I recommend keeping a forum on a separate subdomain so it’ll not affect the marketplace performance.

@hero7 Unfortunately I can’t say for sure because HivePress is not fully tested with Multisite. I don’t recommend keeping listings and forum posts within the same database (Multisite shares a database for all sub-sites) because this will cause performance issues (WordPress stores all the post types within the same DB table).
