With Pro Radio and the free bbPress plugin, you can easily create a public forum for your followers or our community.
To install and configure the plugin, we recommend that you consult the official documentation.
In the next chapters we will explain how to correctly integrate the plugin with the WordPress ProRadio theme, create registration and subscription forms and manage user avatars.
bbPress and loading the ajax page
If you use Ajax page load (for non-stop music browsing) bbPress works perfectly. You can browse the Forum pages without stopping the music.
When submitting a form, however, such as a reply or a new topic, the page will reload and it is normal for the music to stop.
We expect this to be improved in a further theme update if we see any requests from our customers, but please acknowledge that it is perfectly normal for the music to stop when submitting a form. </ p >
For a quick fix, we recommend setting up a popup player , just like in our demos, from the Customizer & gt; Menu layout settings, so your visitors can choose a compatible way to listen to music.

ONCE CONFIGURED
- bbPress comes with a solid theme compatibility API that does its best to make bbPress look and feel right with almost any WordPress theme. You may need to change the style yourself to make everything look pristine.
- You can customize the registration / activation / login / lost password flows to better suit your site. bbPress comes with a number of shortcodes to make this possible, listed here: https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
- bbPress also includes built-in support for Akismet and BuddyPress, two very popular and very powerful WordPress plugins. If you are using both, visit the forum settings page and make sure the integration looks correct.
