If you requested forums be activated when your site was created, the BBPress plugin was activated and a Private Forums Index page was created for your site. Discussion forums should be set to private to protect student data.

To create a new discussion forum

  1. Access the Admin Dashboard of your site and go to Forums > New Forum
  2. Title your forum and add a description if you like.
  3. Set the forum visibility to Private so that only registered users of your site (your students) have access to view or post to this forum.
