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!

Abandonned plugin and buggy
so old now
by Li-An·1 year ago
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.
