Najczęściej zadawane pytania

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 plugin includes additional features that expand the allowed HTML elements for all roles, and that solves this quote problem.

I really like this plugin, but it has been flagged by WordFence for a serious security problem for nearly one year without getting an update, so it’s pretty risky to use it. I hope that the developer updates it. If so, I’ll revise my rating to 5 stars. „The GD bbPress Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.”

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.

This plugin has a lot of issues and incompatibilities. It easily breaks your forum

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.
