  • Also works with the BuddyBoss Platform forums!

    Amazing! Anyone has been looking for a Markdown editor for the bbPress forums? I've been turning the Internet upside down to get exactly what this plugin does! It works as expected with bbPress, but with the BuddyBoss Platform forums too! You just need to adjust your theme's CSS rules for proper display in the preview tab, otherwise, everything works like I couldn't dare to dream! Thanks for this simple yet essential plugin.

  • Works well

    The plugin works well. I think I will give it a try and use it in my next project.

  • Works wonders

    Thank you for this well-designed plugin, it works seamlessly with existing bbPress setup. I appreciate the effort and thought put into it, for example, how it integrates techniques from several other related plugins, and how it uninstalls cleanly. One thing I wish it had is a way to apply the same Markdown editor to normal comments as well.
