Hello,

I want to display the link and img buttons above the text area in my forum but not the other buttons – the reason being that my users are pretty far from being techies, and I’m afraid all these buttons will be confusing/imtimidating.

Can someone point me to the file I need to edit to remove these buttons?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m looking for this kind of code for a long time and I’m so glad to find it. But I didn’t understand that where I should paste this code?

Thanks 🙂

I tried to put this code to my theme’s bbpress.css file but it didn’t work. Also I tried buddypress plugin’s bbpress.css but it didn’t work either.

@drewamca using this PHP code snippet will also work too. Add this function to your child themes functions.php file or add it to a seperate plugin like functionality.

function filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings( $settings ) {

 $buttons_array = explode( ',', $settings['buttons'] );

 $buttons = array_diff( $buttons_array, array(
   'del','ul','ol','li','close'
 ) );

 $settings['buttons'] = implode( ',', $buttons );

     return $settings;
 };

 add_filter( 'bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 'filter_bbp_get_quicktags_settings', 10, 1 );

Here is a list of the default buttons you can add to the function.

strong, em, link, block, del, img, ul, ol, li, code, close
