Are you looking for a timeless, elegant, and streamlined discussion board? bbPress is easy to integrate, easy to use, and is built to scale with your growing community.
bbPress is intentionally simple yet infinitely powerful forum software, built by contributors to WordPress.

bbPress


Tried to install: keymaster issue (so, cannot work at all).



fixed keymaster issue with bbp style plugin (a plugin to fix another plugin looks insane), now blank page.



tried to fix also this via bbp plugin, a lot of graphical glitch and shortcode not parsed.



atm (from some years now) is really unusable.






Unusable. looks like abandoned.


I am active on french support forum who runs under BBPress. It’s looks so old now, without the features (and rendering) the other forum’s programs have now. I now this forum here is under BBPress, but it’s a reworked version of what you get with the plugin.


so old now


I have been using it for many years and have always been very happy with it. It allows you to turn WordPress into an online community. Fantastic!


A historic plugin that is still useful

Raven’s antispam – powerful and invisible fighter against comment spam. No set-up necessary, install and forget.
<h4>Details</h4>
Visitors with enabled JavaScript (99%+) see nothing – no annoying questions, no captcha, nothing. (Users with disabled JS see an additional text-field and a word that must be rewritten into the textfield.)
Note: this plugin is not able to check your trackbacks – to handle trackback spam, it’s necessary to use some other solution. (I recommend to disable trackbacks globally, since they rarely bring any benefit for your readers.) <a href="http://kahi.cz/wordpress/ravens-antispam-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">more…</a>.
