Description

Have you ever been frustrated with forum or bulletin board software that was slow, bloated and always got your server hacked? bbPress is focused on ease of integration, ease of use, web standards, and speed.

We’re keeping things as small and light as possible while still allowing for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system. What does all that mean? bbPress is lean, mean, and ready to take on any job you throw at it.

The Best Forum Plugin

by Organic Themes (organicthemes)

We have used bbPress for several years to power the support forums on Organic Themes. It's an amazing plugin! It's hard to believe it's completely free. We would like to say thanks to the amazing team that has built and maintained bbPress! For any considering the plugin, you may need to add some styles to your theme to get the forums looking exactly how you want. Don't get discouraged. That's to be expected for integrating any plugin of this scale. Trust me, it's worth the minimal effort for such great software.

Still good!

I have been using this bbpress for 2 years now and am still happy. Time for the rating :) Many thanks to the developers! Hard to believe that this is all free of charge...

Fanx!

We are using BBPress since 2013 to power our forum with over 100000 replies. Too bad the developer seems to abandon it. Please keep it up!!!

J'ai perdu plusieurs journées pour essayer de configurer ce module. J'ai même réinstaller complètement mon site, 30 pages, croyant à une erreur d'un plugin. Mais non, c'est Bbpress qui génère un code pourri au niveau du rendu. J'ai d'abord eu des grands placards blancs, généré pour une div de simple-translate, qui apparaissaient sous mes forums. Après réinstallation, totale, sur une installation fraiche, le rendu complètement pourri, illisible. J'ai installé Asgaros Forum avec une facilité déconcertante. A fuir
