# editor topic/reply selection not working

 * Under the topic/reply form there is a setting No9 to choose between Text Editor
   Only, Visual Editor Only or Show Both Visual and Text Editors, if you choose 
   Text editor only it displays both the text and visual. I have already created
   a ticket on bpress because the media upload has stopped working. The visual editor
   contains an icon to upload media but the text editor does not so I want to stop
   users tying to upload media until hopefully it is fixed.

 * it works as intended ie text only, visual only or both as chosen on my test site.
 * Maybe you need to refresh cache, or test with just bbpress and style pack to 
   eliminate other plugins

 * Hi Robin,
 * Thank you, it was the cache that stopped the text editor only for working, sorry
   I should have checked that first.
 * I still have the media problem, I will investigate it on my test site and let
   you know if I find the problem on the other forum.
 * Regards

 * Yes that is the one.
 * Going back to the problem of showing both the visual and text editors the problem
   would seem to be with the plugin **Image Upload for BBPress** if I disable that
   plugin the visual does not show up, only the text editor.

 * Hi Robin,
 * I have contacted them, but not convinced it is still supported.
 * The only advantage I can see to use it is it adds a search icon next to the source
   box. without it I have to type in the source path to the picture.

 * [@robin-w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/) – I looked at the conflicting
   plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/image-upload-for-bbpress/)).
   Is this something we want to include in an upcoming release? Out of the list 
   of features of that plugin, I could make a case for including the following within
   Style Pack:
 * 1.) Allow forum users to upload images from their computer and insert them inline
   into their posts.
 * 2.) Change the directory where uploaded images are stored.
 * 3.) Limit which user roles are permitted to upload images.
 * 4.) Limit the number of uploaded images allowed per post.
 * 5.) Automatically downsize images to fit specified maximum dimensions.
 * 6.) Set PNG and JPEG compression levels so images take up less disk space.
 * 7.) Allow users to view enlarged images in a lightbox by clicking on them within
   the post.
 * 8.) View total image count and file size statistics.
 * Yes, it’s “infringing” upon the paid PRO version of that plugin, but like I said,
   I could see this being a “must have” addition to Style Pack and heavily used.
 * Considering the plugin’s current conflict with Style Pack, I think we’ll wait
   and see what kind of response [@clivesmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clivesmith/)
   gets to his support topic ([https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-upload-not-working-13/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/media-upload-not-working-13/))
   and go from there. If no response, or no plans to re-work code for Style Pack
   compatibility, then we push forward with adding “inline image upload” features.

   with the free version? If so let me initially take a look to see if I can replicate

 * I have deactivaed all the plugins except bbpress, bbp style pack, Image Upload
   for BBPress and even renamed the functions.php in the child theme and it is still
   not working, not sure where to go from here

 * Yeah, I didn’t even try the plugin myself. Good call [@robin-w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/)!
 * [@clivesmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clivesmith/) – Do you have 
   WP debugging enabled and have you checked your debug log file?
 * > [Debugging in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * Or, with debugging enabled, have you tried a plugin like DebugPress to view errors
   in-place as they occur?
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/debugpress/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/debugpress/)
 * Just for good measure, I’d like to try the media upload plugin on my test server
   with YOUR settings as you have them for Style Pack. This is purely to confirm
   that the issue you’re experiencing is not a conflict with Style Pack. Can you
   export your current settings from the “Export Plugin Settings” tab (/wp-admin/
   options-general.php?page=bbp-style-pack&tab=export) and email them to me at [codejp3@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-topic-reply-selection-not-working/codejp3@gmail.com?output_format=md)?
