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.

Search bbPress extends WordPress’ native search to include bbPress post types allowing WordPress to automatically include bbPress content in results. Link adjustments are made to results to ensure users will be taken directly to replies, topics, and forums. This plugin also fixes the double quote typo in bbPress’ unified login widget.
Simply activate to add the power of search to your forum.

<h3>Additional Info</h3>
Purpose: What good is a forum without search? Our plugin addresses this issue. You may already know that WordPress is an expert on taxonomy and already handles posts, tags, and parent-to-child page hierarchy beautifully. But search is missing on the front end; where it matters to your visitors. My Search bbPress plugin takes care of this and promotes forum participation with links that take them to the heart of their search terms. Have your bbPress implementation deliver search results that matter!

Search bbPress

This Plugin brings seamless, unified search results from bbPress 2.0 to WordPress and fixes the bbPress login widget in all languages.
