Re: bbpress plugins – is it possible ?
bbPress has been/is being re-written for its next big release; I imagine there will be a stable release out soon next year.
It is possible to use bbPress plugins, but they will need an external integration of bbPress, rather than the two-click install in the BuddyPress admin settings. This requires a degree of technical knowledge to get working properly; I don’t have a link to instructions myself, but hopefully someone will come along and share a link
