In the app
What bbPress becomes
Native screens, drawn by the app from your site’s data, that you place on the bottom bar, the top bar or the side drawer.
Forum feed
Topics from every bbPress forum in one list, sorted by activity, newest or title.
The forum tree
Categories, the forums inside them, and each forum’s topics one tap away.
Topics and replies
One topic with its replies and the reply box, the screen every forum list opens.
New topics and forums
The form members use to start a topic, and the one moderators use to create a forum or category.
My forum activity
A member’s own topics and replies, plus what they saved and subscribed to.
Moderation
The pending, spam and trash queues, for moderators working bbPress from the app.

Often run alongside
