 * Hi,
    It seems simple, a star rating plugin, I tried a lot but nothing works in
   bbpress. Question: does Multi Rating work in bbpress?

 * Hi casesolver,
 * Yes bbForm just uses custom post types. In the plugin settings page, check the
   post types for bbForum (forum, topic and reply).
 * Thanks,
    Daniel

 * Did you set the rating form and rating results positions? Or are you using shortcodes?
   Are you testing locally or is there a Url I can look at?

 * Hi casesolver,
 * Here’s what I have found for bbPress compatibility:
    bbPress does not allow shortcodes
   to be used bbPress does some different stuff with filters (i.e. the_content) 
   and so the rating form display position option does not work
 * So this plugin does not support bbPress. I will look at ways to support bbPress
   in the future.
 * Thank you
    Daniel

 * Hi Daniel,
    You are a prodessional! Thank you I spend days to find a star rating
   plugin and tried a lot as it’s important for the concept as a whole.
 * I would appreciate a mail when your plugin will be compatible with bbpress. For
   now you saved my time and strss factor.
 * Kind regards of Anne

 * Hi Daniel,
 * Is there any chance of getting bbPress support soon? I’d happily pay for the 
   Pro version to get it.
 * Outside of native support, do you think it is possible to use the shortcodes 
   and API to make it work?
 * The main feature I’m trying to figure out is to let visitors rate the topic when
   they post a reply, which is similar to posting a rating along with a comment 
   on a post. I want to use star ratings, so maybe the rating can be submitted when
   they click a star and submit it via AJAX, but I definitely need to avoid a separate
   submit button.
 * I also want to show the visitor’s rating along with their reply and I want to
   show an aggregate rating of all topics in a forum, but I’m pretty sure I can 
   figure out queries for that data.
 * Any info is much appreciated!
 * FYI: If you can make this work, you can surely beat the competition. The only
   other option I’ve found is Rating Widget which charges a small monthly fee or
   about $300, and that’s out of my price range. You could even release this as 
   an addon to the Pro plugin.
 * Thanks,
    Chris
