Are you someone who enjoys crawling and participating on forums? Based upon feedback from our readers, many of you are. To tell you the truth, if it is a topic I am passionate about (like WordPress), I am too!
With that said, it is my pleasure to announce that the WordPress Forums are now live. WPForums.com was built to be an unofficial WordPress forum and to support the WordPress community in a variety of ways. There is a little of everything!
As of launch, here are the forums we already have available:
- WordPress Discussions – Here we have forums setup to discuss WordPress News, beta releases and release candidates.
- WordPress Support – I often get support questions on old posts in our archives and find it difficult to keep up. Now people can post their questions in the appropriate forum here and solicit input from the WordPress community! When you ask a question, the post is moved to the top, making it easier and much quicker to get feedback from other WPForums.com users! Current forums include getting setup on WordPress, troubleshooting WordPress, WordPress hacks and tutorials, and a discussion of other WordPress resources.
- WordPress Themes – Here we’ve got a separate forum for sharing and discussing free WordPress themes, premium WordPress themes, and we even have a forum dedicated to showcasing your WordPress theme. I can see these forums being a good way for theme authors to get more exposure for their theme releases as well.
- WordPress Plugins – Like the themes, we wanted a place where people can discuss both free and premium WordPress plugins. You can promote your plugin or publish a review of an existing plugin.
- WordPress Employment – Whether you are looking to hire someone for some WordPress-related work (coding/design) or you are looking for work, we’ve got you both covered. The WordPress Employment section is designed to bring buyers together with sellers. One forum allows freelancers to post their resumes. The other forum is a great place for people to post what they need and get connected to someone that can do help.
Going forward, we are open to adding additional forums which may be in demand, so let me know if you’d like to see something added. I also have plans to upgrade the design at some point soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Any questions or comments? Leave those below. Otherwise, go check out WordPress Forums already! 
Update: One reader has mentioned problems registering. If you are having problems, please post the details below and I’ll get it looked into right away. With that said, I just attempted to register and it worked fine so I don’t anticipate any problems.

There was some problem with captcha verification during registration
@ Pavan – Thanks for the heads up! By problem, were you not able to register, or you just got an error message while registering? I had a couple people test the login and it worked fine prior to my announcement here, so any additional information would be appreciated.
In the meantime I’ll disable a few of the spam guards and see if I can figure out where the problem is coming from.
Nice forum. Hope you can get more members there. I had registered myself.
For the forums, turn on vBulletin’s RSS feed. You’ll find the option under vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> External Data Provider.
Finally WpForums.com is launched! I’m very glad about this and I can’t wait to see an active community there!
I’m on
@ Dicky – Thanks for registering!
@ Wayne – RSS has been enabled. Thanks for the suggestion!
@ JBJ – Thanks for agreeing to be a moderator on the new site!
Thanks for enabling RSS.. Now I can subscribe to it using Brief.
@Kyle: You’re welcome! I like helping interesting projects
Great move Kyle. It was time
I will register myself also shortly
what about those of us with wordpress.com theme who bought the CSS upgrade, is there any forum for us…
@ Cindy – I think WordPress.com has their own official forums for things like that, but I’m not opposed to adding one if people are going to use it!
