Sub-forums

[Sirmadsen]

It’s great that it works natively with WordPress but the lack of options and settings is a joke. I have a support forum with 50 sub-forums and counting, all of these sub-forums are shown on the main page and clutters the entire forum. Why there is no option yet as of 2020 (update; 2025) to set a limit of sub-forums shown on main category is beyond me. Spontaneous feeling about bbPress is that it’s a lazy take on trying to make a forum software that works with WordPress. The editor is also a joke and leaves nothing useful except for a few bbcodes, which if you are not used to visual codes is just confusing.
I really wish the editor from this section would be implemented.

I am still struggling with how bad this plugin is as of 2025 and how next to zero progress is made to make this an actual compelling forum plugin for the most used blogging software in the world.

I need it for my theme, sadly, since the 3rd party option don’t implement dark mode very good, but literally any other forum plugin outshines this with lightyears, in both visual and functionality.

For a better editor experience at least I recommend using:

Totally agree with this. The layout options aren’t just awful, they are non-existent.
