What it does
The default bbPress forum layout is plain, and making it match the rest of your site usually means writing custom CSS. This plugin gives you a settings-based way to change fonts, colors and styles so your forum fits your branding. It is built for bbPress, which must be active on your site, and it keeps the forum's normal functionality in place while changing its appearance.
If you build pages with Visual Composer, you can place bbPress shortcodes inside your layouts and arrange forum sections with drag and drop. Google Fonts support gives you more typography choices, and the responsive layout adjusts for phones, tablets and desktops. Sample data is included, so you can set up a demo forum and see your style changes before working on live content. It suits community sites, support forums and discussion boards.
Best for
- Community sites running bbPress discussion forums
- Product or service support forums
- Site owners building pages with Visual Composer
