What’s new in bbPress for AMP 1.4.4
Version 1.4.4 · Oct 1, 2021
Latest
- FixedResolved the issue of attribute 'target' missing validation error.
What it does
If your site runs bbPress and also serves AMP pages, forum content can be a weak spot. AMP has strict markup rules, and a forum built for regular pages may not display or validate properly in that environment. This plugin fills that gap by making forums, topics and replies available on your AMP pages, so mobile visitors arriving on the AMP version can still read and join discussions without being sent elsewhere.
Setup is handled with one click and needs no coding. Once enabled, forum and topic listings appear in an AMP-ready layout that mirrors your desktop design, and visitors can submit replies directly from AMP pages. The plugin works with major AMP plugins, including AMP by Automattic, and it includes handling for validation issues such as the missing target attribute error. It suits sites where an active bbPress community and AMP pages live side by side.
Best for
- WordPress community sites running bbPress forums
- Sites that serve AMP pages to mobile visitors
- Publishers adding discussion areas to AMP content
