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.
