Adding to a site

  • Looking into forum software. The company I work for is a small business and they decided to use Wix for there sites which is a extremely simplistic site.


    Perhaps I have missed it but I haven't found much information about the process of adding the forums to a site and thus have no idea of it will work with there site.


    So really I am asking what the requirements of the software is and if there was a easy way to test compatibility with there web hosting choice.

    Installing and running our software requires a server or webspace with PHP support and a MySQL database.

    The software uses about 20 MB disk space once installed. The disk and database usage raises with user activity, e.g. writing messages or uploading files.
