The Bbpress widget in Elementor, by Element Pack, allows to insertion of the Bbpress features in any webpage, regardless of compatible theme or support. This widget was designed to provide versatility in using the Bbpress forum without restrictions.

Let’s see how it works!

Important Note

Bbpress lets you add an open-source forum to your WordPress website. It’s a lightweight tool that doesn’t harm your overall site performance in any way. But to be able to use it, you must have a bb press compatible theme installed on your website.

Amazingly, Element Pack gives you the ability to insert and use bb press on your website regardless of the theme or required conditions for the platform.

Due to single page to global settings interference, we had to exclude the Style tab for color customizations for the widget. As it is not possible for a widget to manipulate single page customization which a forum requires, we are at a bind here. If we see the opportunity to improve this situation in the future, we will update the style option for you.
