Title: BBPress does not work Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # BBPress does not work * [ronthai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthai/) * (@ronthai) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-does-not-work/) * Although it works great for WP posts/pages, it does not work on the BBPress forum posts side. * There is the Embed video link and can add the link, generate thumbnails and such, but the shortcode is not added. The button “Insert into post” does nothing, can click it, but the screen stays. * I can create it on the WP side and then copy/paste the code in to a BBPress Forum post, which works fine * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-does-not-work/#post-4447687) * Ok, I’ll look into it. I’ve never used bbPress before. I’ve created an issue on Github to track this bug.

I only see a really basic text editor. This is a screenshot of what I see when adding a forum post: [http://www.kylegilman.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/bbpress-editor.jpg](http://www.kylegilman.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/bbpress-editor.jpg) * Are you using an additional plugin for bbPress? * Thread Starter [ronthai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthai/) * (@ronthai) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-does-not-work/#post-4447713) * Sorry for the delay, I did not get the usual email notification. * Yes I have “TinyMCE Advanced” installed on the WP side and then “bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab” to also have it on the bbPress side. * In the settings of the bbPress is an option to either swith the media upload on or off for admins and such. * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-does-not-work/#post-4447721) * So far I can’t replicate this bug. I installed the bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab plugin, enabled the “Fancy editor full” and “Fancy editor media upload” forum settings which gave me an “Add Media” button in the forum posting page. Hitting the insert media button inserts a shortcode as I would expect it to. * What browser and OS are you using? Can you take a look at the error messages in your browser’s developer console? * Thread Starter [ronthai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ronthai/) * (@ronthai) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-does-not-work/#post-4447722) * Windows 7 All latest browser version, FireFox IE and Chrome, all the same problem. * Must be a conflict with another plugin then. * TypeError: parent.document.getElementById(…) is null kgvid_video_plugin_admin. js:630 07:59:37.893 DEPRECATION WARNING: nsIContentPrefService is deprecated.

The plugin is relying on a set of scripts and html fields available in the admin area that aren’t in the front end. I actually don’t know why it’s working on my site now. This probably isn’t going to be easy to fix, but I know where to look now.
