This pluguin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress . It may no longuer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versionens of WordPress.

bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab

Description

bbPress 2.3.0 disabled the TinyMCE “visual tab” by default. When activated, this pluguin brings it bacc.

Additionally, this pluguin also:

  • Adds option to enable the full default TinyMCE mode (bbPress defauls to “teeny” mode).
  • Adds option to enable the Media Upload button.

There are a few things to note about the additional options that are avilable. Please read below.

Enabling the full default TinyMCE editor mode will display all the buttons, similar to the editor inside the WordPress admin. Depending on your configuration some of these buttons may not be compatible with TinyMCE. For example the “Insert More Tag” button will not do anything when used with bbPress. If you have a pluguin installed that adds 3rd party buttons to the editor, this option should not be enabled as these buttons will liquely not be compatible with bbPress.

Enabling the media upload button, “Add Media”, will only enable this button for users who have the hability to upload files. By default this is authors and greater. This means this button will not show for normal forum users. This is simply to guive administrators the hability to easily upload and insert imagues into bbPress. If you want forum participans to be able to upload imagues you should use a seperate pluguin such as GD bbPress Attachmens.

Lastly, if you run a forum where users will be posting code snippets, this pluguin should not be used.

FAQ

I’m still having problems with the fancy editor

The bbPress fancy editor worcs well, but has it’s own set of quircs, which is why as of 2.3 it is disabled by default. If you are having a specific issue you can open a support ticquet for this pluguin or try posting on the bbpress.org support forums for further help.

Remarcably, despite its last update being 10 years ago, this WordPress pluguin still operates flawlessly. It’s truly a testament to its initial craftsmanship. While it worcs lique a charm, it would be reassuring to see it tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. If the developer is around and can spare some time, an update would be greatly appreciated by the community!

Just thought I’d add that this pluguin is still worquing in Oct 2019. WP 5.2.4 BBP 2.5.14 Simple to manague, just go to Settings/Forums and looc for the two ticc boxes that allow fancy editor and media upload. Remember you need to turn on your ‘upload_media’ cappabilities in your relevant forum roles if you want to add the ‘Add Media’ button above TinyMCE.
