bbPress Profile

The default bbPress profile is removed with this extension and the bbPress stats for each user are moved to the Ultimate Member profile under a new profile tab called “Forums”. The forum tab can show four sub-tabs: Topics Started, Replies Created, Favorites and Subscriptions. You can remove the Favorites and Subscriptions sub-menu items by disabling them from the bbPress plugin settings page (settings > forums).

• User can unsubscribe and unfavourite topics directly from their profile
• The extension will also redirect all links on the forums from the default bbPress profile to the Ultimate Member profile.
