## Beskrivelse

Adds an option to the Discussion meta box to use a bbPress topic instead of WordPress
comments, and displays that topic beneath the post on your site.

You can let the plugin create a new topic for you in the forum of your choice, or
specify an existing topic to attach to the post.
 A topic can be attached to as 
many posts as you’d like, but only one topic can currently be attached to a post.

## Skærmbilleder

 * [[
 * The post Discussion meta box
 * [[
 * Default post settings on the Discussion page
 * [[
 * Comment bubble replaced with the number of forum posts

## Installation

 1. Extract the plugin archive
 2. Upload plugin files to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### I don’t see the Discussion meta box. Where is it?

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!

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.

### 󠀁[A very useful plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-plugin-807/)󠁿

 [Virtualtopia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/virtualtopia/) 22. maj, 2019

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.
