Post Comments as bbPress Topics

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Thanks for the plugin, it works like a charm! PS – why you don’t have a logo? It looks like an old abandoned plugin. I can try to draw a modern bright logo for such amazing plugin if needed! This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by neon67.

   I use it to link my Learndash to bbpress forums so that my students can discuss a lesson, either under it or in a forum topic. Really practical, glad that this plugin exists!

   I could see how this plugin would be an absolute must if you are someone who is serious about using bbPress. bbPress Topics for Posts is clean and works well. I’m glad I found it.

   I have been using this plugin for years now and I love the idea of creating a new post and it automatically creating a forum topic to handle the comments or to attach it to an already existing forum topic.It is a great way to funnel traffic to a forum topic as your blog posts can appear on your home page. You can even attach multiple posts to the same forum topic to keep topics alive. If you have a blog and a forum, this will be the best plugin besides BBPress you can use. A bit of history. I ran an old Ikonboard forum and decided to upgrade and transfer it over to BBPress. And using WordPress enabled me to create blog posts which I use a lot. But the site members were confused because they were use to the forum and forum posts, but the comment section under the blog posts confused them because they looked different and didn’t have the familiar toolbar etc. They still thought the blog was a forum and the comments is where you post forum topic replies. But the members couldn’t understand why it looked different to the forum itself. They still thought of the site as just a forum with a fancy home page. So I installed this plugin and it transformed the site. With WordPress, BBPress, and this plugin, my old forum was transformed into a Blog site that uses a forum to handle comments and drive traffic and activity from the home page to the forum topics.

   This is a great plugin that works as supposed. This should have been one of the standard features in bbPress. This will make our community site more alive. I do miss some features like support for custom post types and assign forum by category. But I hope we will get that later.

   This plugin works great and allows complete migration of the existing wordpress comments into bbpress forum, and also allows them to be directly replaced with wordpress comments under each relevant posts… but since it has been abandoned by the original author it’s time it’s taken over by a more responsible developer.
