Kunena is a native Joomla forum component written in PHP that adds forums, bulletin boards, discussions, and comments to Joomla websites. It installs via the Joomla extension installer and requires Joomla 5.3.4+, PHP 8.2+, and MySQL/MariaDB.
Use cases
- add a discussion forum to a Joomla site
- run a community bulletin board on Joomla
- create a support forum for a Joomla website
- enable user comments and discussions in Joomla
- self-host a community forum integrated with Joomla users
When to choose
- your site is built on Joomla and you need integrated forum functionality
- you want a free, GPL-licensed, self-hosted forum tied to Joomla user accounts
- you need a mature Joomla-native alternative to standalone forum software
When to avoid
- your site is not built on Joomla
- you need a standalone forum independent of a CMS
- you run an older Joomla version or legacy Kunena/Fireboard extensions
