bbPress is forum software, made the WordPress way. Created by the original WordPress team to power the WordPress.org support forums, bbPress is engineered to integrate seamlessly with any WordPress site — sharing the same user system, theme, and admin.
It is intentionally minimal: small, lean, fast, and easy to extend. Perfect for adding a support forum or community discussion area to an existing WordPress site.
