What is bbPress?

bbPress adds forums, topics and replies to WordPress, using WordPress users and the same theme. It is light by design, and plugins such as BuddyPress and Youzify connect it to profiles and activity.

It powers the WordPress.org support forums.

How I use bbPress

At TeamQ I led plugins that turned bbPress forums into social platforms, with profiles, activity, notifications and moderation.
