Answers Pai

Answers Pai is a free community plugin for WordPress. It lets you run questions and answers, topic-based discussion, member profiles, and reputation on your own site and database.

Community pages and the moderation dashboard use clean URLs you choose (for example /community/ ), outside wp-admin.
