<p>bbPress 2.3.0 disabled the TinyMCE “visual tab” by default. When activated, this plugin brings it back.</p>
<p>Additionally, this plugin also:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds option to enable the full default TinyMCE mode (bbPress defaults to “teeny” mode).</li>
<li>Adds option to enable the Media Upload button.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are a few things to note about the additional options that are avilable. <strong>Please read below.</strong></p>
<p>Enabling the full default TinyMCE editor mode will display all the buttons, similar to the editor inside the WordPress admin. Depending on your configuration some of these buttons may not be compatible with TinyMCE. For example the “Insert More Tag” button will not do anything when used with bbPress. If you have a plugin installed that adds 3rd party buttons to the editor, this option should not be enabled as these buttons will likely not be compatible with bbPress.</p>
<p>Enabling the media upload button, “Add Media”, will only enable this button for users who have the ability to upload files. By default this is authors and greater. This means this button will <em>not</em> show for normal forum users. This is simply to give administrators the ability to easily upload and insert images into bbPress. If you want forum participants to be able to upload images you should use a seperate plugin such as GD bbPress Attachments.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you run a forum where users will be posting code snippets, this plugin should not be used.</p>

<h3>The most popular WordPress plugin for private forums.</h3>
<p>Use bbPress and Paid Memberships Pro to create a private forum in your WordPress site. This plugin enables secure, private discussion boards for members of your free or paid community.</p>
<h4>Private Forums: Restrict Forum Access by Level</h4>
<p>With private forums, all content in the forum is secured from public view. Select the membership levels that are allowed to access the restricted forum. Any member, user, or visitor without access is blocked from viewing forums, topics, and replies.</p>
<ul>
<li>Members get quick access to the private forum on the “Member Links” section of the “Membership Account” page.</li>
<li>Site admins can optionally choose to hide the forum name from the forums list and search results.</li>
<li>To create a better forum experience for your members, choose from the settings to “Hide Forum Roles” and “Show Membership Levels” in replies and on the bbPress profile page. This helps participants see what level of membership access another member has.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Forum Roles: Set Forum Role by Membership Level</h4>
<p>Give certain membership levels a higher tier of access within your forum. Assign the forum role by membership level in your Paid Memberships Pro settings. This forum role is changed or removed from the member when their membership level changes.</p>
<p>For example, allow certain membership levels to be spectators in the forum, while you allow other higher tier members access to moderate forum replies.</p>
