Hey guys,

I’m not new to the WordPress world but I am new to the bbPress one. I’ve done some digging and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I plan on using bbPress as an organized way to communicate with my clients and I’d like to use the forum topic status feature to define when a topic is closed.

I’ve done some research on support topics and found a few plugins but most are abandoned or allow no customization of the topic status’. Does anyone out there have some input on a plugin that might help me achieve what I’m after?

Hey,

My plugin GD Topic Prefix Pro allows you to define various prefixes for topics (it can be used for support purposes) – each prefix in a different color, allowing you to mark topics differently based on the type of question. And my GD bbPress Toolbox Pro has additional icons displayed for topics, including an icon showing that the topic is closed.

bbPress topic form allows you to change the topic status to closed. My GD bbPress Toolbox Pro allows you to mark the topic closed via reply: you reply to the topic and that reply signals that the topic is now closed (using the checkbox). If you need to do bulk edit of topics in the front end, I have free plugin GD Forum Manager to do just that.

All these plugins can be used to improve the bbPress role of the support forum. Check out my bbPress plugins here: https://bbpress.dev4press.com/.
