Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use the WordPress plugin or embed manually?
The Website Toolbox WordPress plugin provides the smoothest experience with automatic embedding, Single Sign On, and user synchronization. Manual embedding via Elementor's HTML widget works well if you prefer not to install an additional plugin.
Will the forum work on mobile devices?
Yes. Website Toolbox forums are fully responsive and work great on phones, tablets, and desktops. If you embed the forum, the iframe adapts to the container size automatically. Website Toolbox also offers a mobile app so your members can participate from their phones.
