The free version of WordPress.com doesn't allow you to install plugins or use any embed code. Therefore, we recommend upgrading to the paid version of WordPress.com so you can use our community forum plugin or embed code. However, even with the free version of WordPress.com, you can still link your Community to your WordPress.com website using the instructions below:

  1. Login to WordPress.com.
  2. Click on the My Site section and click the Customize link next to the Themes link.
  3. Click the Menus link.
  4. Click the Primary link.
  5. Click the + Add items link.
  6. Click the Custom Links.
  7. In the URL text box, enter your forum address.
  8. In the Link Text text box, enter Forum
  9. Click the Add To Menu button.
  10. Click the Save & Publish button.

You can also make your forum match your website.
