What it does

Running a forum on bbPress works, but the default pages can look plain, and support-style communities often need extra tools to keep threads tidy. AMA Theme addresses both. It gives bbPress responsive, styled forum pages and adds features aimed at question and answer use: members can subscribe to forums and topics, reply privately inside a public thread, and see when a question has been marked as resolved. Moderators can close topics once they are answered, which helps cut down on repeat replies.

The theme suits social communities, developer discussion boards, marketing groups and knowledge-sharing sites. You can start from one of 3 pre-made homepage demos and adjust it to your brand, then customize the header and footer. Custom widgets, including forum addons for Elementor, let you build pages around your forum content. AMA works with Elementor and Elementor Pro, Gutenberg, Bootstrap and WPML, so it fits block-based and page builder workflows as well as multilingual sites. A dark mode switch is also part of the theme.
