I have WordPress with bbPress 2.0 installed as a plugin. I’m looking for some basic functionality:

1. The ability to upload an avatar from the front-end, so the WordPress back-end can remain hidden

2. Topic and forums icons that can change depending on whether the user has read the topic(s) yet

3. Signature and custom bbcode support.

I can’t seem to be able to add any real functionality to bbPress simply because bbPress isn’t the stand-alone version. There is no page to activate bbPress plugins that I downloaded, so what do I do? Without plugins, bbPress is nearly useles…

#1 Would love to see that as well.

#2 Loved these little things in phpBB and missing in bbpress

#3 have you tried:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbp-signature/

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-bbcode/

bbPress.org plugin repo is useless for bbPress plugin, but you could check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

These plugins are WP plugins for bbPress, and you can install from WP Admin just like normal WP plugins

As OC2PS mentioned, there are plugins that solve *some* of these issues.

bbPress 2.0 is the first release of the plugin addition of bbPress. As time goes on (see bbPress 2.1) some of these features will slowly start to be incorporated into bbPress core.

For now I would look through all the plugin available on WP.org for bbPress
