Tucker Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I am looking at adding a forum to my Squarespace site and I am thinking about using Flarum. It looks like it is a simple PHP/MySQL application and runs on any low-end shared host or VPS. I am wondering if this is easily hosted on squarespace along with my website or if it would be much better to create a subdomain and host it somewhere else and just link back to my squarespace site?

IdahoHSA Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I have the same question. Did you go ahead with Flarum and, if yes, how's it working? Link to comment

padavick Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I also want to integrate a members-only forum on my site: www.illustratorsforhire.com Link to comment
lauratommasina Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hello, has anyone here managed to integrate a forum to their website? I am looking to do the same but I wonder if there are costs involved if you want a single sign on? Link to comment
PaulBThomas Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) I'm also seeking to do the same. One solution is to add "website toolbox" which allows for seemless integration OR one could host a wordpress forum (there are many forum plugins available for wordpress and create a subdomain that attaches to your present site.

JenTerpstra Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 When I started looking at Flarum, I was automatically directed to use FreeFlarum which is a free service that is supposed to make setup easier. They host the forum for you, and you're supposed to be able to add a CNAME DNS records to use your own subdomain, but I haven't quite been able to make that work yet. Link to comment
