bbPress – Do Short Codes

Description

This add-on plugin for bbPress is extremely simple and does one thing: parses short codes placed in topic and reply content.

By default bbPress does not render short codes placed into forum posts; this enables short codes. That’s it.

Note: by default, only users with the ability to publish bbPress forums will have their short codes parsed. This can be changed by passing a different capability via the pw_bbp_parse_shortcodes_cap filter.

Installation

1. Activate the plugin

Works Great in WP Version 5.3

Even though this plugin has not been updated in 5 years and hasn’t been tested since 4.1.28 (or at least logged in the readme.txt file), it parses all of my shortcodes just fine. We have s2Member and they have shortcodes to place in your content in order to restrict or show partial content and those shortcodes work fine. It also parses the visual composer shortcodes, so WPBakery Composer works with topics and replies. I would love to see the compatibility updated!

Good

Half-Useful

Yes the plugin works as advertised but effective only half way through. Now you can display shortcode functionality, however all your styling is lost since bbpress overrides everything. So it would have been very nice and complete, if the shortcodes enabled using this plugin were able to display the styles along with functionality of the shortcodes in bbpress. Hence and only hence three stars ??

Works as advertised.
