Hi there,

I’m slowly putting together a bbPress forum and have been researching the best ways to quote replies. Many of the threads I’ve seen on the topic are old, some pointing to outdated plugins; others point to trying custom development work. In general, it’s left me wondering how to go about enabling quoted replies.

Is anyone in the same boat? Do any of the mods have any wisdom to share? I’d prefer an updated plugin -type solution, but I’ve also done a bit of web dev and a fair bit of Python, so I’m willing to put in the work and code a solution if need be–I just don’t know where to start.

Thanks in advance for your help,

I’d suggest taking this plugin for a test drive

Thanks Stephen. This plugin looks like it was committed ~3 years ago, so I wonder if it’s out of date. As a moderator, have you seen (recent) success stories with people using this plugin?

@maruthemany Use this plugin instead.

I always forget GD-bbPress-Tools also has a quote thing :/

The quote plugin I mentioned does have an issue sadly, so go with Rob’s suggestion 🙂

Thanks guys! Using that and so far it works great.

bbPress Direct Quotes does not work but gd-bbpress-tools works for quotes. Thank’s also!

Siqnature is quite modest because it doesn’t support HTML. Not IMO usable.

One issue left, which I explain here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/why-using-visual-editor-i-must-change-a-core-file-of-a-theme/
If someone knows answer to that, I would be happy.
