This is the Markdown plugin for bbPress that I needed, but could not find. It replaces the standard editor with a responsive Markdown form that includes a preview and formatting help. The Markdown is parsed using PHP Markdown(Extra) and saved as a regular HTML bbPress post. The Markdown is saved separately for later editing. The plugin can be activated and deactivated without affecting your bbPress data, it uninstalls cleanly (deleting any saved Markdown code) and is multisite compatible.
Tip: You can give the plugin a slight performance boost if your forum is Markdown only or you don’t care that some non-Markdown posts are displayed slightly different than before (e.g. not turning newlines into paragraphs or no longer making URLs automatically clickable), by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php: <code>add_filter( 'bbpmd_remove_output_filters_for_all_posts', '__return_true' );</code>

Thank you for this well-designed plugin, it works seamlessly with existing bbPress setup.

I appreciate the effort and thought put into it, for example, how it integrates techniques from several other related plugins, and how it uninstalls cleanly.

One thing I wish it had is a way to apply the same Markdown editor to normal comments as well.

Works wonders

Elegant Markdown support for your bbPress forums.

Markdown Editor (Formerly Dark Mode)

Another case of someone buying an abandoned plugin to take advantage of its large userbase and completely repurposing it for a quick and easy profit. Stay away!

Another hijacked plugin

The plugin is advertised on wp.org as having a markdown editor -in fact, the entire description on wp.org talks about that specific feature-, but that's only available as a paid feature. 

Seriously, I regret not reading the other reviews that said as much but this plugin is obnoxious. 

Bait and Switch

Not the same plugin as in screenshoots.


I needed a plugin that supports Markdown in the editor. This seems to have a number of different features, but the only one that I can't use without upgrading is the title Markdown feature. Bait and switch. 


Doesn't have the title feature


I believe this plugin is in violation of the WordPress terms. You can't access its main feature "markdown editor" without paying. The free version only has a dark mode/light mode toggle.


Plugin doesn't deliver markdown
