<p>bbPress Live allows the display of information from a<br />
<a href="https://bbpress.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">bbPress</a> 1.0 forum from inside a WordPress blog.</p>
<p>Specifically, it provides two new widgets:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>bbPress Forum List</strong> – Provides a list or table of forums</li>
<li><strong>bbPress Latest Topics</strong> – Provides a list or table of the latest topics</li>
</ul>
<p>Each widget can be used multiple times, and configured individually.</p>
<p>There are also two functions for use in themes. These functions return a raw<br />
php array which can be manipulated inside the theme:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>bbpress_live_get_forums()</code> – Provides an array of forums</li>
<li><code>bbpress_live_get_topics()</code> – Provides an array of the latest topics</li>
</ul>
<p>bbPress Live can only connect to a bbPress forum running bbPress with a version of<br />
1.0 or higher. The bbPress blog must have XML-RPC enabled in it’s settings.</p>

bbPress Messages

Giving myself a review..
Works perfect, simple code, clean design, you can use this plugin with or without BuddyPress with no issues or conflicts.



simple and working

Works Fine but the text is written in hard. No translation possible. Not usable in my lang ! Too bad.

Front-end-pm is a very good alternative.

Translation impossible

I could customize the plugin via filters etc. Works good, so go ahead and install it. 
We translated the plugin ourself via PoEdit and we want to give that back.

Does what it says and very happy with it as a developer
