A historic plugin that is still useful
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!

so old now
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.

Is not trustable
bbpress is not trustable and has poor features. Support seems non-existent. I just tried to get help with breadcrumbs that were not showing up on my installation. A technical issue that I presented on their forum (bbpress.org). They didn’t answer me, they deleted my post and now I can’t post anything there anymore, I…

Unusable. looks like abandoned.
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.

Please extend Mobile phone layout for Tablets as well
On 8 inch tablet, single topic page layout is consisted of 2 columns, this layout is same as BBPress page you see on PC’s bigger screen. BBPress’ 1 column layout you see on mobile phones should be applied on Tablets like iPads as well! You see 1 column layout BBPress topic page on this Official WordPress.org forum…

Great for phpBB conversion.
I needed a tool to convert a phpBB forum to WordPress and this plugin did a great job. More than 1000 users, all forums and topics with answers were imported in a few minutes without a single error. It’s a cool plug-in for me.

Abandonware
Just use the miriad of forum software that’s still being maintained out there. This hasn’t been touched in 2 years. If automatic don’t bother updating it why would I bother installing it? and don’t tell me the software is already perfect cos it barely works if the planets align.

don’t know why so many bad reviews, works for me
I tried out several forums and bbPress was the only one that worked for me. I can’t remember what I was trying to do at the time, but maybe I was trying to delete users and not get error messages from the forum plugin. bbPress worked without problems. I did have to do some work to make the forum look nicer in…

I find this terrible
I haven’t installed this but I am a user of a forum using this plugin and it’s terrible! I don’t know what part are the rules set up by the admin and what are just bugs. I’ve complained to the admins without results so I post my issues here. It does not allow external images, sometimes! Sometimes it does?! The upload…

Abandoned plugin and buggy
After 2 years without any update, no programmer in the world can convince me that everything is great and in perfect order! Because now the plugin spits out some forum content at a URL that is supposed to generate a 404 error! what the … I have uninstalled the plugin today and I can only hope that it has not left too…

Plugin does not work anymore!
This plugin is not supported for last 2 year and it does not work at all with new WordPress (blank pages). It should be removed from the wordpress plugin list.

Does Not Work in Latest WordPress versions (blank page)
Blank white page on latest WordPress version 6.3.
Old fashioned & buggy
bbpress is very old fashioned and a bit cumbersome and buggy. The search does not work with the latest wordpress version, you always end up on an archive page with wrong display. The error is not caused by the theme or another plugin, have tried many things. With some themes only a blank page comes up. Also the url…

No longer worthwhile
Very primitive. No documentation. For example, there is a search box but no way to put a label on it. I tried to add a topic to a forum but there was no submit button. Basically, it has not been updated in a year and it shows.

Worthless
I’m shocked how unusable this is. Configuration is not simple and not documented. Appearance is primitive at best, not even basic. But in the end it’s totally worthless as all the basic access functionality is missing or does not work. No registration page/ link on login page. No documentation on setting this up.…

Wrecks your roles; impossible to clean up after – AVOID THIS PLUGIN
We wanted to try BBPress but we discovered quickly that it caused way too many problems with roles & permissions for the site. So we removed it. But it turns out that for at least 8 years bbPress has known the roles can’t be removed cleanly and they just shrug and say “not important.” So, I recommend you NOT INSTALL…

It works, it’s very basic, and clunky
If you’ve ever used other forums software, or especially if you’ve deployed other forums software, it becomes very clear after you install bbpress that this plugin is basic, and clunky. An awful lot of what would be considered standard functionality in forums software simply isn’t present, or if it is, is awkward and…
