BuddyPress Quotes adds a “Quote” button to each post or comment, opening a text box where a member can reply while quoting a specific section of the original rather than the whole thing.
Key Features:
1. Inline quoting: Select just the relevant section of a post or comment to quote, instead of the entire thing.
2. Reply threading: Quoted replies display as nested threads, keeping conversations easy to follow.
3. Customizable styling: Quoted text and thread appearance can be adjusted to match your community’s design.
4. Quoting across groups: Quote and reply to posts from other groups, not just the one you’re in.
5. Notification settings: Members choose whether to get notified when someone quotes their post.
6. Moderation controls: Admins can moderate quoted replies and remove inappropriate content.
Since this post was first written, the plugin has grown well beyond a quoting tool: it now includes a REST API, 30-day analytics, and integrations with GamiPress, myCred, and BadgeOS for communities that reward participation with points or badges.
Pricing
