Integration with bbPress

Back to User Guides

Downloads bbPress Add-on allows you to integrate your download page with a bbPress topic.

You can automatically create a bbPress topic when a download is created or allow a download author to choose an existing topic.

The bbPress topic can replace the build-in CMDM support Forum.

This addon works with the Download and File Manager plugin - Pro version.

3. Navigate to the Admin Dashboard → CM Download Manager → Settings.

4. Click on the Download Page tab.
5. Scroll down to the bbPress section. Choose a bbPress forum to create new topics.

If enabled then the new bbPress topic will be automatically created for new downloads in the chosen forum. The administrator can change the topic per each download.

6. Enable option Show bbPress tab.

7. Go to the Support section on the Download Page tab and disable option Enable support tab for downloads if you don’t want to use the built-in support forum.
