Get bbPress Hosting at Lunarpages
Yesterday, we took a look at WordPress, so today I figured we would check out it’s message board (and less popular) brother from another mother, bbPress. Forum software can often be slow, bloated and filled with holes – however bbPress is the total opposite. The focus is around being easy to use, speedy, and compliant with all the web standards.
Just Like WordPress, for Message Boards…
The install process is pretty straight forward for anybody who has ever installed a basic script before. You download, you configure, you install on your hosting account. Just like WordPress, it too comes with a number of plugins to extend the functionality and performance.
Here are just a handful of tutorials to help you get stated with bbPress:
- How to Install bbPress on Your Hosting Account
- Working with Themes and Templates in bbPress
- How to Integrate bbPress with WordPress
You can find more bbPress help on our web hosting wiki.
Want to try it out before you install? Go try out the demo hosted over on OpenSourceCMS. They’ll let you play with both the front end and the back-end of the message board script.
Overall, if you are familiar with WordPress, and you are looking for a way to add forums to your web site hosted with Lunrapages, bbPress is worth checking out. It is not as feature rich as some of the other forum scripts out there, however it definitely gets the job done.
