I just updated to the latest bbPress version from 2.0 and I don’t the new fancy editing elements in my forum.
I am currently using an edited version of the twentyten theme that I am using as a child theme. Do I need to update the theme in order to see the new fancy editing elements? How can I fix this problem? Thanks,

PS: I am also running WordPress 3.4.2

Note: I do have the Fancy Editor enabled in the forums settings.

Thanks,

It should be ok, but just for grins if you switch you theme to the default TwentyEleven does that make it reappear?

I started the theme from scratch once again and now it seems to be working. Thanks,

Quick question: Are you guys using a plugin for the fancy editor in bbPress forums with live preview? I would really like to use it.

Thanks again,

Sure thing. bbPress.org uses a plugin called wp-markdown 🙂

Hello, I am using bbPress 2.4; the option for using the Fancy Editor isn’t showing up in Settings > Forums. Do I need to add another plugin for this? I am using the Expound theme.
