In reply to: Will it be updated?
I am unsure what the theme has to do with the bbPress in this case. bbPress works with any theme, and you don’t have to use a specific theme to have bbPress, or to have bbPress bundled with the theme. ThemeForest themes are usually very bloated and bundle tons of plugins that are later hard to update or to switch to newer versions.
bbPress is a free plugin that is updated when needed to fix bugs, and works really well as is. it doesn’t have to be bundled with any theme.
In reply to: Queries regarding functionalitiesHello,
My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin: plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox has Private Topics and Replies, so user can create private topic, only moderators can read these, and reply, and later can make public. Your request is a bit different, so I may look into implementing that for future versions of the plugin. And, GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has new notifications for keymasters and moderators when new topic or reply is posted.

In reply to: Edit profile menuThis is hardcoded in bbPress, the only way to change it, is to override the template and make the changes.
In reply to: Adding and removung buttons of front-end editorsYeah, TinyMCE editor is very problematic when it comes to expanding it, it is way to complicated and easily broken.
With by GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin, I have two additions for editing: BBCode Toolbar (simple extension of the basic editor with all BBCodes in the toolbar, and click on the button brings it into editor, or it can wrap selected text), and support for the Markdown. And, every BBCode can be disabled, or controlled for the Toolbar inclusion.

In reply to: Adding and removung buttons of front-end editorsHey,
My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin has 50 major new features, including BBCodes implementation that has 40+ shortcodes/BBCodes for bbPress forums, including SPOILER and HIDE, as well as full syntax highlighting SCODE shortcode.
As for changing the main text editor buttons on the front end, I don’t know of any plugin that does it, and even the plugins that do it on the backend, don’t work on the frontend for some reason.

In reply to: bbPress 2.6.9 compabilitybbPress 2.6.9 is compatible with WordPress 6.2. As for PHP, it works fine with all the new versions, but it does generate various warnings with PHP 8.1 and newer (nothing critical, mostly about deprecated PHP functionalities).
In reply to: gd-bbpress-attachmentsHey,
Plugin has options to hide logged upload errors from being displayed on the front end, and they are only visible to keymasters/moderatorators, and also topic/reply author so that author knows if the upload failed and why.
But, next plugin version will include a tool to remove all the logged errors from the database, that was requested few times already.

MilanIn reply to: GD bbPress Tools will be upgrading the DBHey,
The new version of the Toolbox Pro does contain a feature called Booster, and it does add new DB tables for indexing, but it does not make any changes to how the data is stored by bbPress. If you use Toolbox and disable it later on, there will not be any negative impact because the plugin is not changing how bbPress works with data. When Booster works, it intercepts some bbPress queries and modifies them to use index tables, and that’s it. When the plugin is not working, or Booster feature is disabled, bbPress works as it always does. But, modified queries are much faster than normal ones because Booster removes postmeta from the query and instead adds joins to the index tables (3 tables added for forums, topics and replies).
Tests I did so far, for queries that Booster can modify, new queries are 20 times faster (on average). But, for large forums (1 million posts or more), queries can be 30-40 times faster. Yeah, I know, that is a huge change, and it might sound unreal, but the postmeta tables in WordPress are never meant to be used for queries the way they are used right now, because the data in postmeta can’t be indexed, and all data is stored in TEXT column, which is the worst column in MySQL for any kind of query.
Anyone who follows my work knows that I have been proposing multiple times to make core changes to bbPress to stop using postmeta; I even have a GitHub repository with transformation queries and other information about changes needed, and I know that that is a huge thing to implement, but the only way to make bbPress fast, is to stop depending on postmeta for queries. What I did in GD bbPress Toolbox Pro 7.0 is just a small change for now, and I plan to expand index tables with more data and affect more queries (right now it affects 6-7 query types). Again, what my plugin does, doesn’t have any negative effect on bbPress, and if my plugin is disabled, the bbPress works just fine, no data is destroyed by my plugin.
Finally, query speed is irrelevant for small forums (under 10000-20000 posts). Yes, queries will be much faster with my plugin, but the database size for queries is not that big, but as soon as the forums grow and have more posts, these postmeta queries will get exponentially slower, and my plugin will make it much faster.
The plugin is now in the Beta stage, with a stable release planned for mid-January 2023.

MilanI am author of GD bbPress Attachments, and what you see is the message returned by WordPress when uploading. This was not the problem before, but it looks like the upload in WP has changed to recognize duplicated files. I will see if there is a way to handle this in some way in the future.
Regards,
MilanI am the author of GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools and these plugins have Pro version called: GD bbPress Toolbox Pro (https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/). And, the Pro version has options to embed attachments into content, and if the attachment is the image it will be displayed as a big image, and video or audio will be displayed as players. In the area after the post (where attachments are usually displayed), currently, only images can be previewed, and video can’t be placed due to the layout constraints.

MilanIn reply to: Search result only search keyword from TitlesThat option doesn’t affect search process. You should trace how the search is done and if it affects bbPress.
In reply to: Search result only search keyword from TitlesbbPress search has no options, it is the same as WP search, so if you havw code modifying WP search it will affect bbPress search also.
In reply to: Search result only search keyword from TitlesBy default, WP search works on content and title. But, there are plugins and/or custom code that can change that. Maybe you have some custom code to modify the search scope.
In reply to: how can i change Topic Title Maximum Length?My plugin GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has options to control the length of title (min/max and min words) and content for topics and replies, and it has option to remove HTML input limit of 80 characters: https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-bbpress-toolbox/.

In reply to: Can bbPress use SMTP mail plugins? How?Hello,
My plugin GD Mail Queue – https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-mail-queue/ works with bbPress, and it allows the use of custom SMTP, it can queue bbPress notifications as individual emails, and it can wrap emails in HTML for better email presentation.

In reply to: Plugin with subscription statisticsI am not sure right now. It would be needed to run few queries to get that data, but I never tried so I am not sure exactly how it would be done right now.
In reply to: Plugin with subscription statisticsI have added this as a feature request for my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro plugin. Plugin already has a function and widget for various statistical information, and these subscription/favorites based counts would be interesting to have too.
Notification via email is sent when someone is subscribed to a forum or topic. If user is subscribed to forum, he will get email for every new topic in that forum. User subscribed to topic will get email for every new reply in that topic.
In reply to: Plugin with subscription statisticsHey, what statistics you need to find out exactly? What type of data you want to see?
