## ČPP

### Where can I configure the plugin?

Open the Forums menu, and you will see Tools item there. This will open a panel 
with global plugin settings.

### Will this plugin work with old, standalone bbPress (versions 1.x) installation?

No. This plugin requires the plugin versions of bbPress 2.6.2 or higher.

### Click on Quote button doesn't add quoted content?

This happens if the plugin's JavaScript is not loaded. Make sure that both CSS and
JavaScript options are enabled. If that doesn't help, make sure to enable ‘Always
Include’ option too.

### Sometimes quoted content when saved appears broken?

The quote itself doesn't strip HTML, but bbPress does. If the quoted section contains
HTML tags or tag attributes that bbPress doesn't allow, it will strip them when 
the reply is saved. To solve that, you need to use the option to control allowed
HTML tags in topics and replies.

### Some features not working with BuddyPress group forums?

This happens if the plugin's JavaScript is not loaded. Make sure that both CSS and
JavaScript options are enabled and ‘Always Include’ option is also enabled.

### Does this plugin work with bbPress and BuddyPress groups?

GD bbPress Tools 3.1 is tested with BuddyPress 6.0 using bbPress for Groups forums.
Make sure you enable JavaScript and CSS Settings Always Include option in the plugin
settings.

### Some BuddyPress features break when I use BuddyPress Nuovo templates?

The problem is caused by the Italic BBCode due to the conflict with the Underscore
templates system BuddyPress uses. You can disable Italic BBCode, or you can limit
BBCodes to the bbPress content only (highly recommended).

### When the quote is used on the formatted content, formatting will be gone inside displayed quote?

This happens because quoting can only take rendered HTML as is, and when saved, 
bbPress will remove some HTML elements based on the user role. [GD bbPress Toolbox Pro](https://www.dev4press.com/plugins/gd-bbpress-toolbox/)
plugin includes additional features that expand the allowed HTML elements for all
roles, and that solves this quote problem.

 [pavlovscat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pavlovscat/) 29. Aprila 2026. 2 replies

I am revising my review to 5/5 stars after the developer updated the plugin to address
security issues. This is an excellent plugin that I consider a must-have for every
site that runs bbPress. Kudos to the developer for addressing the security issue
and for making this free.

 [Barry](https://profiles.wordpress.org/barrypersonalctonet/) 31. Jula 2025.

They changed their licensing policy and said that I needed to buy a new license 
by 7/31, but the page to do that gives a critical error. I have reported the problem
but have not gotten a response. Update – they actually did respond and fixed the
problem so I could renew. Rating changed to account for that.

Since May 26, 2022, this plugin has been experiencing issues (which can always happen).
Unfortunately, the developer is not responding to my support inquiry. I don't recommend
installing this plugin for safety reasons and a developer who doesn't care.
