Build with NexaBoard,
step by step.

Installation

Upload the NexaBoard plugin in WordPress Admin, activate it, and open the NexaBoard settings area.

Requirements

Use a supported WordPress and PHP environment and keep your site backed up before major updates.

Forum setup

Create your main forum structure, configure public or private access, and publish the forum page used by your community.

NexaBoard Extensions Manager

NexaBoard Extensions Manager is the central installer and manager for NexaBoard commercial and third-party extensions. The manager itself does not include paid feature modules; each extension is distributed separately as a NexaBoard extension ZIP.

How to install and use it

1. Download the Extensions Manager ZIP here.
2. In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP, then activate NexaBoard Extensions Manager.
3. Make sure the NexaBoard core plugin is installed and active.
4. Go to NexaBoard → Extensions.
5. Under Import extension ZIP, choose the NexaBoard extension ZIP you purchased or downloaded and click Install extension.
6. Imported extensions are enabled immediately. You can later disable, enable, replace with a newer ZIP using the same slug, or delete them from the same screen.

Imported extension modules are stored separately in wp-content/nexaboard-extensions/, so updating the Extensions Manager plugin does not remove installed modules.

Extensions

Install only the extensions you need. Each extension adds focused functionality while keeping the core lightweight. Commercial NexaBoard extensions should be imported through NexaBoard → Extensions instead of being installed as separate WordPress plugins.

Customization

Match NexaBoard to your brand through your theme and custom CSS. Keep overrides organized so future updates remain easy to manage.

Updates

Back up your website, review extension compatibility, then update the core and extensions through your normal WordPress workflow.
