Ultimate Member bbPress 2.1.9
Description
Ultimate Member bbPress is a WordPress plugin that connects the bbPress forums with Ultimate Member profiles. It automatically transfers key bbPress user profile data into Ultimate Member, so members can manage their community presence from one place. It also redirects forum user links to the matching Ultimate Member profile and adds a dedicated forums tab on each profile. Visitors can view a user’s topics and replies, along with counts, making community activity easy to browse and understand.
For community owners, the plugin works out of the box without requiring bbPress template edits. It supports role-based access and content restrictions, letting you decide who can access forums, view topics, and create new replies or topics—down to specific forum rules and even selected days.
