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