Hi,
I have a property management website that houses community pages for several different communities. These are restricted member pages and can only be accessed by those within the specific community (member role). I would like each page to contain a forum or discussion board that the members can communicate with eachother on. However, it looks like Wix Forum can only be used once per site.
I.e. I cannot create a seperate forum for each member group.
Any suggestions? Apps that might work better for what I am trying to accomplish? I just want the members to be able to post comments/suggestions/complaints ect to their specific community page.
I have a total of 30 communities/pages. They should only be able to view comments ect within their community not all.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Firstly Wix Forum is a Wix app and not fully integrated with Wix Corvid as of yet, so you have little control over what you can do other than the actual settings in the app itself.
As you say you can only have the one Wix Forum on your site and that Forum can have many different categories, although they will all be accessible by all users. I suggest that you vote for the feature here.

If you want to still use a Wix app instead of trying to develop one by code, then you can always look at simply using Wix Chat instead.

You can still keep the Wix Blog and Wix Forum apps on your site if you want too as the the Wix Chat app will work alongside those apps too.

Your members are free to privately message other site members through it.

Or you can set up group chats if you keep the Wix Blog or Wix Forum on your site.

As none of this is code related, it is nothing to do with the Wix Corvid Forum which is for code related issues on your site, therefore you are best suited going through Wix Support yourself if you still have any issues regarding the apps.

If you want to go down the code route and all your communities have their own separate pages and only site members with a specific role can access a certain one, then you could look at using this code here in this previous forum post and have it set up for each member community.

Obviously, you would need a separate dataset for each community so that they are only referring to their own dataset and nobody else’s.
