One thing I did track down is that forum extras is conflicting with

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/

(other than bp probably the most important plugin I use and the best in it’s class) Allows me to easily create my own custom meta boxes on a per post_type basis.

a quick look at the plugin and reveals the problem i had earlier with wpmu and creating new blogs/admin. Seems some plugins call require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/template.php'); outside of WP_ADMIN (in ‘init’ action) which will causes a function conflict with bp-internal-bbPress. I’m not sure if I have a solution for this – might be a wait until bbPress is a plugin (so they can resolve the naming conflicts)

A hacking the core solution would be wrapping the checked and selected functions in /wp-admin/includes/template.php and wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-forums\bbpress\bb-admin\includes\functions.bb-admin.php

if ( !function_exists('checked') ) {

if ( !function_exists('selected') ) {

However the buttons do not appear on Group wire or when sending direct messages of one user to another.

One great improvement for the future could be adding images straight from our computer, instead of using a URL.

That is expected behavior – this only modifies stuff in the group forums

as for uploading – that would be more of an album plugin to handle the process and hosting – this is just basic bbcode

Are you able to edit the signature admin items now?
