Moving to Wix Groups
Wix sent me this: "We’re writing to let you know that Wix Forum will soon be discontinued. You can move your forum to Wix Groups to keep your data and maintain core functionality on your site. This change is a part of our ongoing efforts to give our users the best possible experience. To ensure your community stays active and functional, here’s what you need to know:
What’s happening:
•
Starting June 1, 2025, Wix Forum functionality will be limited. You’ll no longer be able to create new posts in the Forum, either through your dashboard or on your live site.
•
On September 1, 2025, Wix Forum will be completely disabled and removed from all Wix websites."
It looks like each forum category will become a Group. For now, I've added a test group to the main menu up top. We can test it out and see if it will work for the discussion format we prefer. It looks like all forum data will migrate whenever I click the button to do that, so we shouldn't lose anything, just have a new format. I'm going to work on making it look pretty tomorrow. I don't have to do anything until the end of May, so we have time to discuss and investigate alternatives if it looks like Groups will not work.


It looks like all comments' timestamps are lost: they are reset to the timestamp of the actual migration. I'm not sure if the order of comments are also messed up...
