in Simplified Layout, the answer editor is extremely basic, (unlike what I can see now here), and the buttons "Answer" and "Quote" are not doing anything I can see. The only thing working is "add an answer" at the bottom of the thread, which means that, for no, it's impossible to quote and/or answer a post in the middle of the thread.

Is there any way to change this ?

False alarm, sorry ! I had a redirect which was causing the form to loop on Forums. I have not found the root of the problem, for now, but disabling most of the plugins make it work properly. So this error has nothing to do with wpForo itself.

Hi @le-bear,

WpForo uses WordPress TinyMCE. It's what it is. You can do some CSS Customization to it.

What doesn't work in blockquotes?

About Simplified Layout: wpForo has 4 layouts, so the users could choose by their needs.

I don't follow the answer part, that Button is used only in QA Layout, as QA Layout is designed for Questions and Answers.

Not sure how to explain better. Any action on a button in Forums was redirecting to Forums (Forums for me is the equivalent of Community). So all buttons, including Connection, was ineffective as it just displayed the same page again.

So, as soon as I have some time (too much to do right now), I will activate my extensions one at a time, to see which one was causing the problem. Right now, most of them are disabled, but that wrong redirection disappeared. Obviously, the different caches are no help when doing this kind of tests.

Finally found the guilty plugin: wpOptimize. Even if I had restricted the pages it should work on, and specified to  only minimize js and css, not cache any page (I use wpTotalCache for that), with this plugin activated, as explained above, these buttons were not doing anything. Without this plugin, and all others activated, everything behave properly, as it should. Guess it was messing up some javascript.

Glad I found it. I don't mind losing some tenth of a second here and there, to get something working well in return.

Nice to know that you fixed it.
