Introducing bbPress Theme Package Replacement Plugin
Does the plugin works with BuddyBoss Platform?
We do not support BuddyBoss Platform integration for any of our bbPress-related plugins.
Dev4Press plugins for bbPress right now all require bbPress 2.6.2 or newer version, and old 2.5 versions of bbPress are no longer supported! BuddyBoss uses very outdated bbPress 2.5.12 (from 2017), and the current bbPress version is 2.6.11 (as of September 2024), which means that Dev4Press plugins for bbPress will not allow activation with bbPress 2.5.x (and because of the old version, it will not be active with BuddyBoss also). On top of that, BuddyBoss has made significant changes to the bbPress they are using, so a lot of stuff is no longer compatible with the standalone bbPress plugin. Also, BuddyBoss uses BuddyPress 4.3, released in 2019 (the current standalone BuddyPress is 14.1.0 in September 2024), and again, their version of BuddyPress has significantly changed from the standalone BuddyPress, making the compatibility a considerable issue.
Even if BuddyBoss is updated to bbPress 2.6 or newer, we have no plans to support It with our plugins due to the changes they made to bbPress, making proper support impossible.
This FAQ will be updated when something changes with bbPress or BuddyBoss.
TLDR: Dev4Press plugins for bbPress can’t be used with the BuddyBoss platform.

Can I use this addon with GD Mail Queue Lite/Free version?
No.
The addons are made for the GD Mail Queue Pro, and there are no plans to have addons supported in Lite/Free version.
Does this plugin replace wp_mail() function?
No.
Most email sending plugins start by replacing wp_mail() function in WordPress making it hard for other plugins to do anything related to email sending. GD Mail Queue plugin doesn’t replace this function (or any other WordPress function), and it is relying on that core function to intercept and determine if the email should be turned in HTML or added to the queue.
Does the plugin supports other SMTP sending plugins?
No.
But, GD Mail Queue has support for SMTP email sending, and you can add your SMTP server information for plugin to use for all emails and/or queue emails. If you need to use REST API for email sending or you want to use predefined SMTP sending services through PHPMailer, GD Mail Queue Pro supports several popular email services using official REST API libraries and SMTP sending to.
Does the plugin supports other REST API based sending plugins?
No.
All plugins that send emails to various services using REST API or some other API to connect to services, are always replace wp_mail() function making it impossible for my plugin to detect emails and work with them. Also, GD Mail Queue can’t use third-party plugins to send emails, because there is no universal interface for this that all plugins can implement and use.
Does the plugin support BuddyPress?
Yes.
If you use BuddyPress HTML emails feature, it will work as expected, and GD Mail Queue will handle these emails without turning them into HTML. You can also use an option in GD Mail Queue to force BuddyPress to send plain text emails and GD Mail Queue will turn them into HTML emails.
