I am using latest bbPress and WordPress.

I have just noticed when I create a forum topic that whilst my tinymce toolbar is fine, when I click the Text tab I get an empty toolbar.

Why would that be? Is there no longer a text toolbar in WordPress?

text isn’t standard on bbpress – how are you achieving this?

Thats a long story @robin-w.

I use “Advanced Editor Tools” to the main TinyMCE tool bar.
I have my own plugin that adds a couple of tweaks to the toolbar.
I have TinyMCE Config but that is for the TinyMCE behaviour.
I think I have some custom hooks too.

// ==============================================================
// Tweak MCE Toolbars (bbPress Editor)
function ajt_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
  global $bsp_style_settings_form ;
  $args['tinymce'] = true;
  $args['teeny'] = false;
  if ($bsp_style_settings_form['Show_editorsactivate'] == 1)  $args['quicktags'] = false;
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args', 'ajt_enable_visual_editor' );
// ==============================================================

In bsp 9. Show editors is set to text only radio. Because my own / advanced editor tools kicks in to show the tinymce toolbar. But that normal one (like in your screen shot) is now empty. Never was before.

sorry, my brain was being fried – Visual is not standard but text is.

bbpress 2.6.7 and after has a bug

try and add this fix to your functions file

if( !function_exists( 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' ) ){
	function bbpress_browser_supports_js() {
		echo '<script>document.body.classList.remove("no-js");</script>';
	}
	add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bbpress_browser_supports_js' );
}

Thanks. I added it underneath the existing code and purged my cache but no difference. So I took the code out again.

Any other thoughts?

[Chuckie]

Could it be related to Autoptimize?

[Robin W]

I can only suggest standard fault finding viz

it could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

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

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’ features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

Health Check & Troubleshooting

My site with wordpress 5.9, bbpress 2.6.9 and style pack 4.9.1 (which has the bug fix automatically in it) with the visual editor turned on – all works fine

Resolved.
