Why Choose Forumverse?
As a team that has developed many bbPress forum themes and plugins over the years, our goal is not only to make a theme compatible with bbPress plugin, but also to take bbPress even further with many useful features and design elements to provide your users with a unique forum experience. Let's start exploring!
WordPress Customizer
All theme settings are in WordPress Customizer. You can easily turn on, off or customize the unique features that come with the theme according to your needs and see the changes you make instantly.
Elementor Page Builder
Forumverse is designed to be 100% compatible with Elementor, the most popular WordPress page builder. The theme comes with a set of custom Elementor widgets to help you quickly create the responsive pages you need.
Light & Dark Mode
Forumverse comes with 2 color modes (light and dark) that can be changed with a single click from the site menu. The user color mode selection is stored in the user's browser. This is an eye-friendly feature for the user because a forum requires long hours of reading both during the day and at night.
However, if you want, you can choose one of the color modes and disable the menu item so that users always use the selected color mode.
Seamless Integration
With WooCommerce
Forumverse is fully compatible with the WooCommerce plugin. You can easily sell any product you want on your site and earn additional income for your forum.
Take bbPress Forum to The Next Level!
Features that make bbPress even better.
User Profiles
We’ve made bbPress user profiles more functional with additional fields such as age, gender, location, social media icons, etc. We’ve also given users the ability to upload their own avatars and cover photos.
User Directory
You can create user directories with search and pagination functionality. There are 3 types of user cards and unlimited column options for layout. You can exclude users from the directory or choose which fields to display in the user card.
Verified Users
Verified users have a Twitter-like "verified" badge on their avatar. You can create specific forums and topics only for these verified users (Other users can view these topics but not reply).
User Blogs
You can give your users the ability to create blog posts and submit them from the front-end form on their profile. Admins can easily edit and approve user-submitted posts from the WordPress dashboard.
Private Messages
You can allow your users to send private messages to each other from the front end (users can block other users). Admins can send a public announcement that all users can see or that is specific to a specific role(s). Admins can also block any user from sending private messages.
Followers
Users can follow each other and see the latest forum topics added by their friends from the activities tab on their profiles. Followers and following are publicly displayed on user profiles.
Like/Dislike Rating System
Users can like or dislike posts, comments, and forum topic replies using the built-in rating system. Admins can change the like/dislike count from the WordPress dashboard.
Solved Topic & Best Answer
Users can mark their forum topics as solved and select the best answer (admins and moderators can do this for all forum topics), which is an extremely useful feature, especially for support forums.
Custom User Role Names & Badges
You can change the default bbPress role names (keymaster, moderator, etc.) to anything you want. You can also choose different badge colors for different roles.
Private Reply
When a user marks a reply as private, only forum admins and moderators can view the reply. This is a useful feature for when users need to share sensitive information.
Report Content
Users can report inappropriate forum topics and replies to site administration with a single click. Effective moderation is essential for creating and maintaining online communities and forums.
Quote Replies
Your forum members can clip quotes from other forum topic replies with a single click, just like in Whatsapp.
Autocomplete Search Boxes
You can choose to use the blog, forum (bbPress), or store (WooCommerce) search box in the site header area. Your users will find the results they are looking for before they even finish typing their query.
Media Library & Rich Text Editor
Users can easily attach any type of file to their reply using the media library button. Users can control the appearance of their posts using the Rich Text Editor without writing any HTML code.
Forum Signature
Forum signatures are messages that appear at the bottom of each post a user makes in a forum. They can be very useful for users as they can promote their site links by participating in your forums.
YouTube TV
YouTube TV lets you automatically display the latest videos and playlists from any YouTube channel on your site. If you have a YouTube channel or want to share a channel you admire with your users, you'll love this feature.
