FAQ

Q. Your plugin uses an external CSS stylesheet. How do I get rid of it?

Add the following snippet to your theme's functions.php:

 add_filter( 'bbp_quote_enable_css', '__return_false' );

Q. bbP Quote doesn't work at all and I'm using a customized bbPress template.

Unfortunately, this plugin is heavily-dependent on the markup that comes with the bundled bbPress templates.

The majority of people will not run into this problem. Only those that have made a lot of changes to the bbPress templates in their theme. If you are one of those people, you could probably tinker with the JS to get it to work for you.
