It will use theme’s styling where possible. bbPress plugin is fully compatible with the Aerious and more importantly, it’s free. Following steps are required to set up bbPress plugin in Aerious:
- First off, install the plugin from here
- After installing you can set up a test forum and can also able to import a pre-made forum
- Then create a WordPress page on account of displaying forum
- If you want to customise it further you can do as the settings are very easy
- You can either hide the forum or can make them public. All onto you to choose
- Then decide on user logins/registration i.e. either manual or automatic
- If you choose manual route then you can add users manually and vice versa
- You’ve to ensure that bbPress uses the page template we required
