    oh, and I’ve just looked at your previous interactions, and you just abandoned RobKK who was trying to help you, so hopefully you won’t do the same to me:-)

    I appreciate your frustration that you have not had answers posted, but not sure who you expect to answer them?

    People write open source software in their own time and offer it for free. Under the open software foundation the software is offered without any warranty or support. You use it if you like and not if you don’t. It is perhaps a bit much to then expect software authors to answer every question someone might have about that software, or indeed having offered that software to the world for free, that they should invest any time to this unless they wish to. To then complain that they won’t tell you how to modify their error free code to do something you want but they didn’t design seems even more insulting.

    If someone gave you a car for free, would you then tell them that they suck because they don’t come and service it for you? or whinge about it because they won’t re-spray it for you because you wanted it in red not green?

    I am not a bbpress author, I’m just a guy who uses this software, and in turn spends some of my time in trying to help others. I am too frustrated that people who ask questions on here so rarely then try and help others, and wish that more people would give up free time to help people like you.

    But I am just me and we are here to try and help where we can, but please lay off the insults and accept that free software does not come with a right to free support, and if people don’t answer your questions, it is maybe because wee like to help people who appreciate free help.

    To work out an answer for you will probably take 1/2 hour of my free time. I’ll take a look tomorrow maybe.

    by the way wp 4.8.3 is really old – any reason you are on that version?

    ok, I’ve just loaded the code below (same as in the post above) to my test site and it enables the tinymce editor on my test site

    //editor bbpress
    function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
        $args['tinymce'] = true;
        $args['teeny'] = false;
        return $args;
    }
    add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'bbp_enable_visual_editor' );
    
    //clean html when copy and paste into forum
    function bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text( $plugins = array() ) {
        $plugins[] = 'paste';
        return $plugins;

    }
    add_filter( ‘bbp_get_tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text’ );

    So I suggest you start by doing some further testing

    Themes

    As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    plugins

    If themes don’t pinpoint the problem, deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Then come back

    The recent replies widget should not be used.

    as per

    dashboard>settings>bbp private groups>widget warning !

    you should use (PG) Recent Replies or (PG) Latest Activity widget

    1. I am just a user of bbpress – ie I am one of the ‘We need to help each other I guess.’ I am only a moderator because I do a lot of support on here, and someone needs to clear out the spam.

    2. I was not ‘waiting 4 days’ I do have a life outside of providing FREE support I give here – giving my time without any payback to help others, and I respond as I get time to those that I can contribute to.

    3. writing sarcastic comments ‘Yeah forget about the fantastic support’ – shows you really don’t understand how open source software works – people write code for FREE which other then use for free. If you have paid for something, then you can start whinging about support, but if someone gives you a car, you don’t complain that they then don’t come round and service it for you, open source software is offered as is, additional help is totally voluntary.

    We need to help each other I guess.

    that is what open source software is all about.

    no idea what your question had to do with twentysixteen, so split it into a new subject

    have you tried logging in as him to see if you get the problem? That would eliminate lots of bits

    since that one is in the buddypress plugin, try there support forum 🙂

    I know of nothing that will do this at present.

    bbpress has many ways in, but if you are not trying to hide content if the user is a bit savvy, then you could amend loop-single-reply.php to take out the content if not logged in

    But to make it robust would be quite difficult

    great – glad you are fixed

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    not sure you are asking in the right place.

    I suspect you are using an additional plugin to allow uploads of documents/images – possibly GD bbPress Attachments

    bbpress does not allow this on its own

    Moderator

    forums are ordered by setting their order in

    dashboard>forums>all forums>select the forum and on the right hand side you’ll find ‘forum attributes’ and in their ‘order’

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, thanks, I’ll ignore this one, and see if I can help further on the other one

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    ok, so just clarify, are you now fixed, or is the root still going to the wrong place?

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    Thank you for apologising. Bbpress like all free open source software is written for free by people who like coding. People who like coding don’t always tend to be those who like doing support, so like much free software, they rely on community people to help in supporting. I hope that you will also feel that if you are helped in a support forum, you look to help someone else, as that is the only way that a ‘community’ can exist. If you simply just ask a question, get a response and then go away, it is hardly surprising that there is no-one helping.

    Your question would require lots of time to understand and code, so I suspect that it will not get answered. You quickest may well be to duplicate using that code and then delete those not wanted.

    @robin-w

    Moderator

    the community and the help that bbpress provides s**ks completely

    well then you’d better sort it on your own – helpers here do this for free, and we’re not here to be insulted. Good luck

    looks like something is erroring

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

    Then come back

    hmm, not suer why your bbpress.css file is in wp-content/plugins/templates rather than wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates – have you altered this?

    In essence you want to set

    .bbp-reply-author width :100% ;
    .bbp-reply-content margin : 0px;

    This will force the content to the next line, and move it to the start of that line.

    I’d also add

    #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    position: relative;
    }

    so you’d end up with (untested)

    @media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    
    .bbp-reply-author  {
    width :100% ;
    }
    .bbp-reply-content {
    margin : 0px;
    }
    
    #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
    	position: relative;
    	}
    
    }
