Frequently Asked Questions

Discussion Board will automatically create three pages for you: A page with a log-in and registration form A page with a form for users to post new topics A page listing existing topics There are further, detailed instructions for the free and pro versions on the website.
There's a demo here. Note that this demo includes some features only available with the Pro version. Feel free to register and post some content so that you can see how it works from the user's point of view. Some users are reporting that they don't receive an activation email In the first instance, ask them to check their spam/junk folders. If you've tested and you're certain emails aren't getting through, use the Postman SMTP plugin or similar to assist the delivery of email from your site. It's a more reliable way of ensuring emails are sent and received.
No.
In your dashboard, just go to Settings > Permalinks. Then everything should be fine.
We've included a helpful log-in / log-out shortcode to display a log-in / log-out link. Use a plugin like Shortcode Widget and add the [discussion_board_log_in_out] shortcode to your sidebar or other widget area of your choice. The plugin also automatically displays a log-out link under the new topic form.
Be careful if you are copying and pasting the shortcodes - you might need to delete <code> tags. Click on the 'Text' tab in your content editor to see if these tags are there.
