Edit: PS, I did not get an email that there was a reply on this, and it’s definitely checked…
Firstly, did you get this reply?
And I’m a little confused: doesn’t bbPress have it’s own editor that’s separate from WordPress? I have an awesome editor for WordPress, but it doesn’t show up for bbPress.
My bad, Yes and no, bbPress can use WordPress’ editor if you enable TinyMCE as detailed here, that is the same editor you see in the backend of WordPress to create posts, pages tec.
The original links I posted are for adding custom themes for TinyMCE.
If you are not using TinyMCE you can edit bbPress CSS in the ‘/* =TinyMCE in themes’ section around line #714.
Ok, so ignore the above, I have found and hit the same wall you have with the ‘editor buttons’, I’m not sure if this has changed with WordPress 3.9 and TinyMCE 4 but I can’t override these either without some serious hacky code.
I’ll create a bbPress and/or WordPress ticket/s in trac so this can be done without quite so much effort. I’ve been messing about for the past hour trying to get the numerous combinations of ‘editor styles’ to work and am now walking away to go ask the experts
