"bbPress ready theme" means what?

    I have tried a few themes with bbPress. I do not understand/see the difference between regular WP themes and bbPress ready themes. Are there special features included in bbPress ready themes, if so what are the features called?

    Thank you

    sorry no definition of ‘bbPress ready themes’ it simply means that the author has written ‘bbPress ready themes’ on his blurb.

    Usually means that the theme has been tested with bbpress and recognises it in the theme page files.

    Many themes work well with bbpress, some are too ‘clever’ and don’t play well.

    when theme developers say their theme is “bbPress ready”

    it usually means they followed this guide https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/

    There could showing post count below the author avatar but you can easily do that by installing Robins plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-topic-count/.

    I have seen some themes have applied styling to some unread posts plugin , but really nothing too crazy that you cant get with free plugins and doing it manually without causing a hard time developing.

    ideas for plugin exploration

    there is a plugin section on this site, it basically pulls information from the wordpress.org plugin section on any plugin tagged “bbpress”

    i’d say search the plugins section

    search the forums on this site so you would find some developed plugins that are not yet on wordpress.org

    check some in the list here https://codex.bbpress.org/feature-plugins-tracking/

    on gist.github.com/ there are a few snippets in plugin format , especially netweb’s gists https://gist.github.com/ntwb

    there are also paid plugins on sites like codecanyon

    and there is always google.com
