I have the same question. I am using bbPress as an integration with Profile Builder Pro. Has this question been answered yet?
This whilst old still works well
bbPress – Moderation Tools
Hi Robin
This plugin has been closed from WordPress plugins on 11 february
Any other plugin to moderate topics ?
i was hoping that the feature for comments :
Before a comment appears
1) Before a comment appears Comment must be manually approved
2) Comment author must have a previously approved comment
would also work for bbpress
but i tested and it doesnt work…
Apparently only the 2 settings comment moderation blacklist are working :
– number of links
– stopwords
but the problem is there is no warning message showing if someone adds 2 links for instance and then submits, nothing tells him his post is pending moderation (same test for stop words)
Also the admin doesnt have any notification of pending post, no mail, nothing on dashboard, i had to go directly to admin topics to see the pending topics
Best moderation would be to always moderate the first post for any user, how could i do that ?
i just found this other moderation plugin that does exactly what im describing but it’s 8 years old without update, does it still work ?
Thanks a lot !
try this one
bbPress Moderation
I also have a version of the one above that I might publish when I get back from holiday

Great thank you Robin enjoy your holiday ! 🙂
You mean the plugin you recommended first is better than this one ?
By the way look at this : this guy seems to have solved a real issue
you’re asking whether a 4×4 is better than a sports car – it all depends in what you want it to do !!
Actually i cannot compare as i cant download the first one (not available on the WordPress plugins anymore)
you will when I get back from holiday
but I still won’t be able to tell you which is better 🙂
ok thanks 🙂
the second one i tested it : it works fine but there is a problem :
Case 1 : if user replies : he would see “reply awaiting moderation” on his post AND this post will be public : it should be hidden for all except admin / the poster
Case 2 : if user posts a topic : he posts the topic and then nothing happens, he can think its a bug, as he would actually have to scroll up to see his topic is actualy listed at the top with the topic subject (awaiting moderation)
so 2 problems in this case 2 :
– he can think its a bug and that his topic has not been posted and so would try again
– the topic subject is public : it should be hidden
Waiting to test first plugin to see if it works better !
you can download the other one from
