I had the same issue here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/topic-create-text-area-off-the-screen-on-a-smartphone-in-forum-view/

Thanks so much @robin-w

I will mark my topic as solved and add a link to this one 🙂

As an Update, I have found some really old information about this issue @netweb here:https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2198

And here: Editor width addressed in CSS at patch https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 down to 240 resolution. In some smartphones, only the text editor shows up by default.

My Redmi 9C uses a 20:9 aspect ratio screen (resolution is 720×1600).

As an update. Youtube videos embed fine in the block editor when creating a new page or post on the site. The issue seems to be just with BBpress and the create topic/Reply editor which uses TinyMCE?

It would be great to be able to watch embedded videos without having to click out to youtube etc.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

I have asked this same question myself over the last few weeks as I am busy making my BBPress forum compatible and converted to a fully funcioning mobile app.

I decided to push ahead because the support forum of wordpress itself is running on the BBpress plugin and there seems to be no signs at all of it being switched to something else (as @robin-w says)

Whilst there are hundreds of plugins that are no longer maintained, the BBpress essential plugins very much are, and support for them is absolutely excellent. ( @amauric and @codejp3 ) 🙂

I believe that the future of niche forum websites like mine are in the mobile app direction with push notifications etc to users through their smart phones. WP and BBpress is lightweight enough to work fantastic on a mobile.

The three authors I mentioned earlier are great examples of why BBpress will carry on for the foreseable future no? Thanks guys for your continued help and support!

Hi Robin. Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I can confirm that the code you suggested works perfectly if it is added to my themes custom CSS area in (theme customization – Astra theme) and also works if it is added to the custom CSS area of the most excellent bbp style pack plugin.

Great and thanks once again 🙂

I have installed the plugin Advanced Editor Tools but any changes I make in the layout of TinyMCE in the settings doesn’t seem to affect the layout of the editor in BBPress topic posts or replies. Its seems to only change the settings in the editor for WP posts and pages.

When I look at the list of forums I see that there is a column titled “Creator”. As I created all the forums my name is listed as the creator. Its a live link (my name) but clicking it just refreshes forums created admin page.

I guess that this is where the info for the “By Author” is being taken from that appears under the forum title on the site?

The link that appears under the site title is live but when clicked produces a failed to find what you were looking for search message and my profile picture.

Hi all, I have the astra theme as well and youtube won’t embed at all in bbpress forums. (I have the embed option set in bbpress admin)

I have tried using various URLs from you tube to no avail…. Examples here: https://iberianatureforum.com/forums/topic/the-wildside-holidays-you-tube-channel/

regards, 🙂

Thanks for your help Robin. 🙂

Thanks Robin…. I didnt think I could activate and deactivate after making any changes to subscriptions… Thats great info! 🙂 Especially for a plugin thats not been updated for 4 years…

The toolkit looks like a great project… Is there a reason its been abandoned and no one has taken it on?

[ibnat]

Oh… I have seen the bbPress Notify (No-Spam) plugin but this seems to subscribe all members rather than being able to select individual members and edit their subscriptions?

[ibnat]

I agree with the original poster. the list of plugins leads to many outdated and unsuported so it may be good to add a filter for plugins that are usable for the latest version?

For me the bbp style pack has been the most usefull along with (thankyou Robin!) 🙂

These are the plugins i have installed so far…

bbP Signature
bbp style pack
Hide Admin Bar From Front End
Image Upload for BBPress
reCaptcha by BestWebSoft
Site Kit by Google
Smush
Super RSS Reader
WP Mail From II
WP User Avatars
Yoast SEO

Im looking for………….

Add smilies/emoticons to tinyMCE
Upload of attachments such as sound files and video to play inside a post
External Links to open in a new tab…

Nice to meet you all 🙂

[ibnat]

And here on this forum I notice that the embed looks different to my site… here it converts the link to a quited title….

[ibnat]

I have disabled all the plugins on my site and this issue is still happening… BBpress embeds the link (to a wordpress site) The image of the landing page and intro text is displayed but the links are not clickable…

Amphibian and reptile info pages at WH

I cant upload a screenshot here but the above link shows the issue…

Any ideas?
