What is bbPress

The free plugin bbPress is an add-on for your WordPress website to add forum functionalities such as discussion and user management. You can turn your entire website into a forum, or just add the forum as part of your existing website. The plugin bbPress is fast and light, open-source, and easy to use. It was created back in 2004, to manage the official WordPress.org support forums. One of the key concepts of this plugin is simplicity: in fact, it doesn’t overload your website with a bloat of options and heavy functions but focuses on the core essential features to run a forum, such as roles management, moderation, and topics management.

It allows managing multiple moderators, multiple forums, multiple topics, and, of course, multiple replies. You can also set private topics and forums, to limit access for specific user roles.

It integrates seamlessly with the default WordPress registration system, without adding separate tables to your database.
