I just installed bbPress.

Now, I need to learn how to customize the forum’s appearance.

Apparently, a lot of customization done through plugins.

I found the following:

Using Plugins

To use a plugin, simply create a directory in your main bbPress directory called my-plugins and put the plugin file in it. bbpress does not currently have a plugin activation/deactivation interface like WordPress’. Any .php file in your /my-plugins directory will be run.

Looking for plugins? Try our plugin browser http://bbpress.org/plugins/

I like adding the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ feature.

How would I find if this is an available plugin?

If so how would I find where to download it?

The favorite topics is part of the core and available with every bbPress installation. You can also find plugins and templates at Pro Forums.
