Comrades, advise on your experience a forum for Wordpress.
There are many such plugins for wordpress like " WP Forum Server ", " Mingle Forum ", " Tal.ki Embeddable Forums ", " bbPress " etc.
I want to choose the optimal, most effective solution!
I've never worked with forum engines before, so I'm interested in your experience, what do you use?

I advise you to put the forum separately from the CMS, it will help to avoid mistakes

bbpress is out of competition. They are brothers.

wpForo is currently the best forum plugin for WordPress.
By all criteria, it surpasses all current forum plugins. Available for free on the WordPress site: https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/wpforo/
The developers of the wpForo plugin, gVectors Team, were able to create the most beautiful forum with a feature pack that is dozens of times larger and more powerful than other WordPress plugin forums. And all this for free! This plugin has proven that free plugins can be a hundred times better than paid ones.
wpForo is a revolution in the world of WordPress forums. And in general, I have not met a forum that can have many designs for each section separately. Cool thing! Plus, wpForo is the fastest and most innovative forum. You can read about itin the Russian community wpForo plugin .

wpForo Forum - I recommend it, especially if you are not very good at code.

Just today I came across the readiness of Vanilla to integrate with WordPress.
vanillaforums.org/features/vanilla-connect
But haven't tried it myself, take a look.
This is not a forum plugin, but a plugin that will make friends between WordPress and the Vanilla forum engine in terms of authentication. This is so to dot the i's.

Regarding PS: the statistics from Google and Yandex are approximately equivalent, although in my opinion the graphics are prettier in the metrics. You don’t need to install plugins for them, you just need to add a small piece of code to your theme that will be given to you.

With forums, the question can be put like this: do you need rich functionality or a typical solution? If it’s simpler, then MingleForum, and if you need a full-featured combine, then there’s nowhere without BBPress. I just beg you not to use the same base with the press, it is fraught with gimor.

It is easier to screw the statistics with handles. So where is she usually? footer.php and paste bits of code from search engines there. Voila, they are where they need to be. Or through the TEXT widget panel, we still insert the code and the beauty.

I also asked a similar question for a friend of mine, so that's what I found on the Internet. It seems that all the shortcomings and features of the forum plugins are described.

Simple Press in terms of functionality is definitely the best in my opinion. In the paid version, of course with all plugins. Here is another detailed description of forums for WordPress.

Can anyone tell me which forum should I choose for my site?
ogos.com.ua
By the way, here you can put links in comets that go to inkesk.

If you yourself are well versed in the Wordpress engine, then I recommend installing bbPress. You can tweak it the way you want. Here is a quick guide to installing bbPress .
If experience with the code is not enough, then I believe that it would be more correct to install the forum separately from the site, without integration. To do this, you can use the corresponding popular services.

Now the best will be Asgaros Forum.
It has a lot of advantages, here are some of them:
1. Speed of work
2. Modern design and adaptability already come out of the box
3. Ability to use hooks and events, for example, receive notifications in a telegram bot using the Asgaros forum WordPress add-on - notifications about events in... "
4. Documentation
5. Russian control interface

By the way, wpforo now has official support in Russian. It will be useful for those who do not speak much English. https://wpforo.ru/
In a nutshell, like all WordPress forums, WP foro has its drawbacks. But in comparison with other analogues, this is one of the best. And separately I am glad that they are constantly actively working on the plugin, fixing bugs and adding new useful features.
