We’re using this to add a forum to our existing WordPress website and are very pleased with it. Installation was straightforward and out of the box the forum integrates nicely with our theme, making basic setup minimal.
To make the forum work and look exactly the way we wanted was also easy enough with some custom CSS and PHP code in combination with a couple of dedicated plugins.
One area we feel could be somewhat improved is the plugin’s documentation. There is good documentation available to cover the basics, but it often stopped at the point where we wanted to go a little further.
There’s also a very active BBPress support forum and when searching for ways to do things we often ended up there. The plugin has been around for a long time, and so we were pleased that most of our questions had already been asked and discussed in the forum. However, much of the information we found was over 10 years old and sometimes deprecated. At times it was difficult to figure out exactly how to achieve things. But with a little bit of persistence we got where we wanted to be and now have a working forum that integrates very nicely with the rest of our website.
So a big thank you to all the plugin authors and contributors.
