Finally, you can get a great looking bbPress site with just one plugin. No need for custom CSS or PHP programming. Turnkey bbPress! (Formerly named Weaver for bbPress by WeaverTheme.)
Get your bbPress site up and running with beautiful themed styling, plus all the essential layout and user/admin usability options needed to run a real world forum with Turnkey bbPress.
Turnkey bbPress was developed by the makers of the popular Weaver Xtreme WordPress theme, the original options based WP theme. If there’s one thing we know, it’s how to provide the features and options you need to build a great looking website. And now you can do that with a bbPress site.
We also know bbPress was designed to be lightweight and efficient, but that means that many features required to build and run a real-world forum are missing from the base ppPress plugin.
Turnkey bbPress makes it easy.

</ul>
<h4>Compatibility with Other bbPress Plugins</h4>
There are other excellent plugins available that can add more essential features to a bbPress Forum. Unfortunately, sometimes they add features that don’t including styling that matches the rest of your forum, or doesn’t work will with some WP Themes. We’ve added integrated styling support for other plugins.
<ul>
<li>bbPress Pencil Unread: We think the ability to know if posts have been read or not is essential. Turnkey bbPress adds color matched Unread indicators and makes the “Mark Unread” link a theme matched button at the top of forum lists.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The essentials, all in one</h4>
The developer of this plugin also created the original and best options based WordPress theme: Weaver Xtreme. Weaver Xtreme has its own bbPress based support forum. In the process of running the support forum, we’ve found that the features included in this plugin are really essential for running a truly vibrant forum, especially one used for technical support.
Turnkey bbPress is small and efficient. Options are only loaded and used if individually enabled. No unnecessary code bloat!
<h4>Great Support</h4>
We do not support Turnkey bbPress on the default WordPress Support Forum. Instead, we support it only on our own bbPress based forum: <a href="//forum.weavertheme.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Weaver Support Forum</a>.
It is easy to get started with Turnkey bbPress. Get more documentation at <a href="//guide.weavertheme.com/category/weaver-for-bbpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">Turnkey bbPress Guide</a>.
<h4>Acknowledgements</h4>
This plugin includes GPL code derived from several other bbPress plugins. I would like to acknowledge the efforts put into developing those plugins.

<li>bbp Mentions</li>
<li>bbPress – Private Replies</li>
<li>bbPress Simple View Count</li>

This plugin tracks which of the autoloaded options are used on a page, and stores that data at the end of page render. It keeps an array of options that it has seen as being used. On the admin page, it compares all the autoloaded options to the array of stored options, and shows the autoloaded options that have not been used as you were browsing the site. If you’ve been to every page on your site, or you’ve kept the plugin around for a week or so, this means that those options probably don’t need to be autoloaded.
<h3>How to use this plugin</h3>
Install this plugin, and go through your entire site. Best is to use it normally for a couple of days, or to visit every page on your site and in your admin manually. Then go to the plugin’s settings screen, and go through the unused options. You can either decide to remove an unused option (they might for instance be for plugins you no longer use), or to set it to not autoload. The latter action is much less destructive: it’ll still be there, but it just won’t be autoloaded.

AAA Option Optimizer

And I love the speed in which improvements are made :)

Great tool to minimize autoloaded data size


I wonder how on earth a plugin tha promises to optimize the wp_options tables, stores 25MB of data in the option_value !!!! Maybe the guy who developed it does not understand the fundamentals of the internal database optimizers but such a huge deviation, totally ruins MariaDBs/MySQL internal optimizer. You see optimizers work on the assumption that in a table, the fields have somewhat related sizes. For more details please go to MariaDB Jira and check for cases MDEV-34097 and MDEV 32663If you add records with huge sizes (say > 100k) in wp_options table where each option is usually less than 30Bytes, then you have an issue. In our case the issue was caused by the very plugin that we used to monitor our options (that are by and large incorrect). Avoid it at all costs.


A joke!!!

Plugin that tracks autoloaded options usage and allows the user to optimize them.
