Setting up a Forum app

To use the Forum app, you first have to set it up. You need to be an admin of the page or community and have "Manage apps of a page/community" permission to configure the app.

For information on showing your app's name in other languages, read Providing app names in other languages. However, the threads in a forum app are the same across all languages.

Set up the app

After adding a forum app, you can configure the following settings:

  • Name: Give your app a meaningful name that best reflects its topic and use case.
  • Activate this app: Activate the app immediately or leave it in the deactivated mode. A deactivated app is only visible to admins of a page or community. Learn more in Activating and deactivating apps.
  • URL: By default, the URL is generated from the app's name, but you can change it to something else. Any old links leading to the app won't work anymore after you change it.
