I run a bit over 10 different sites with very different content.
None of them income providing yet.
For primarily monetary reasons I am switching them over to static sites.
I will need an alternate way to interact with people than the comment section on WordPress.
I have tried a few of the standard replacements Disqus used it for a while. I did not like it. Esp the ad injecting.
Tried a couple of others including one self hosted.
Then I got the probably crazy idea that I could use a forum instead.
That way I have one way to handle all of them and the cost is fixed for the most part.
A couple of questions:
Does xenForo have a REST AP or some way to script creating a post in a group that is linked with the WordPress blog post or page (or an update to a static site)
My sites are on very different topics so the users should not overlap.
Lets say I have:
www.oldchristianhymns.com
www.greatgaysexnovels.com
www.ilovejobdiesomuch.com
www.teamTrumpforthewin.com
those are all made up, if they do exist it is not my fault.
My idea is to setup:
www.myVBulletinCommentServer.com
With something like:
www.myxenForoCommentServer.com/forum/oldchristianhymns
www.myxenForoCommentServer.com/forum/greatgaysexnovels
www.myxenForoCommentServer.com/forum/ilovejobdiesomuch
www.myxenForoCommentServer.com/forum/teamTrumpforthewin
Ideally, it would be
www.oldchristianhymns.com/forum
www.greatgaysexnovels.com/forum
www.ilovejobdiesomuch.com/forum
www.teamTrumpforthewin.com/forum
Anyways I have a guy over at oldchristianhymns who wants to let me know about some spelling mistakes in one fo the books
he clicks over to www.myxForoCommentServer.com/forum/oldchristianhymns Create a user and logs in? Can an anonymous post?
and he enters his comment and guys about his day.
Another guy comes across a huge plot hole in one of my gay sex books, that he has to let me know about and he heads over to
www.myxenForoCommentServer.com/forum/greatgaysexnovels.
This is getting long I apologize.
What I need to ensure is that oldchristianhymns people and greatgaysexnovels do not interact do not see each other's posts.
In fact, they should be entirely unaware of each other unless I actually do have a user who belongs to more than one of the categories.
Ideally, I think this would be done by having 4 different communities.
That gets too expensive for me, either on the cloud or self-hosted.
One license allows only one community right?
Is there a way to ensure "isolation" between the different forums, so they don't see each others users, posts, updates etc.
Or will it require 4 licenses?
