LearnyBox is an all-in-one platform for creating and selling online courses, memberships, and digital products. While it includes a community feature, you may want a more customizable and full-featured forum for deeper discussions.
That's where Website Toolbox comes in. You can embed a fully featured discussion forum directly into your LearnyBox site, or simply link to your forum from your site's navigation. Either way, you get user accounts, moderation tools, and real-time conversations.
This works really well for:
- Online course communities
- Membership site discussions
- Coaching program forums
- Customer support communities
- Feedback and feature request boards
- Private member groups
- Product launch communities
- SaaS product communities
This step-by-step guide walks you through the process:

Frequently Asked Questions
Does LearnyBox have a built-in forum feature?
Yes, LearnyBox includes a community feature. However, you may want a more customizable forum with advanced moderation, categories, and standalone community features, which Website Toolbox provides.
Should I embed the forum or link to it?
Both work well. Embedding keeps visitors on your LearnyBox site and integrates the forum seamlessly into your page layout. Linking is simpler to set up and opens the forum in its own page, which can be a better experience on mobile devices. Choose whichever fits your workflow.
Can I customize the look of my embedded forum?
Yes. Website Toolbox provides a theme editor with a variety of themes you can choose from to match your LearnyBox site's design. You can customize colors, fonts, layout settings, and more to create a seamless look.
Can I make the forum private or members-only?
Absolutely. You can restrict forum access to logged-in users, create invite-only communities, or charge for access with subscription plans. Combined with the SSO integration, you can seamlessly connect your LearnyBox site's user system with the forum.
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.
