Using Flarum as blog platfrom and switching from Ghost

batato

I had an idea to switch from Ghost to Flarum for blog post + create a community. Kinda like killing two birds with one stone.

Do you think it's a bad idea? How well will it work in terms of SEO? I will need to redirect all the posts to the new subdomain.

Just need a reality check and if someone have done it before.

batato it’s certainly doable - but you need to check what feature you depend on. Flarum is a great framework with great integration and extensions - its main focus is forum still though. It’s not a full fledged blog software.

Two possible ways:

Blog extension: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/33038-blog-adds-a-blog-section-to-your-community
Wordpress integration: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/22229-premium-wordpress-integration or https://discuss.flarum.org/d/21666-php-and-wordpress-single-sign-on-sso-with-optional-jwt-addon

I am not aware of someone moving from Ghost. There have been requests for a integration also. But nothing has been implemented yet.

Everything is in place and we could do this, expect for missing proper SEO. As soon as Flarum can implement it core we will give it a shot.
