The WordPress Support forum is split into the following sections:
Installing WordPress
Members who have bumped into problems when attempting to install WordPress are given help in the Installation forum. Perhaps it’s a testament to WordPress’ “famous 5-minute installation,” that this forum is relatively low-traffic. The threads posted to this forum mainly revolve around issues with upgrading to the latest version of WordPress and FTP.
Fixing WordPress (formerly: How To’s and Troubleshooting)
This is the catch-all section for all questions about installing, troubleshooting, themes, queries, templates, all the various aspects of WordPress. If coding isn’t your strength, How To’s and Troubleshooting is a good place to start volunteering on the forums as you’ll find a wide-range of general WordPress issues here.
Developing with WordPress (formerly: WP-Advanced)
Advanced techniques and discussions on WordPress development.
WordPress Mobile App
For questions and issues with the WordPress mobile apps.
Networking WordPress (formerly: Multisite)
As the name would suggest, problems relating to running a network of WordPress sites are posted to this forum.
Accessibility
Inquiries concerning WordPress accessibility and assistive technologies.
Localhost Installs
Users facing problem installing WordPress locally on their computer, can go to this forum with their problems.
Everything Else WordPress (formerly: Miscellaneous)
Everything else gets set here. This includes news announcements about WordPress or WordPress related topics, information to help WordPress users, and general “doesn’t go anywhere else” posts. Posts in this forum don’t have a “mark as resolved” option.
Requests and Feedback
This is the section where people can ask for changes, improvements, and provide feedback about WordPress. Answers are not always necessary, but if there are bug reports or requests that are already in place, answers need to be provided.
Alpha/Beta/RC
For discussion of development releases only. This includes only nightly, alpha, beta, and release candidate releases.
Themes & Plugins
Each theme in the WordPress Theme Directory, as well as each plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory, has its own Support forum. For example, the Support forum for the Twenty Twenty-Four theme is found here: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/twentytwentyfour/.
For some plugins, the “Support” link can lead to an external site. As an example, the Support tab for the bbPress plugin leads to an external site. Whereas, the Support tab for the Akismet plugin stays within WordPress.org, and is found here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/akismet.
Reviews
Though it’s probably easier to browse reviews under the Reviews tab of each plugin/theme, this is where they all live. If you want to leave a review, please leave it under the Reviews tab of the desired plugin/theme.
