It seems to me that this is the problematic code:
in content-single-topic.php
<?php if ( bbp_has_replies() ) : ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'pagination', 'replies' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
If I remove this code block, all of the shortcodes start working.
UPDATE 1:
More specifically, this is the exact row that the problem appears at:
<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'replies' ); ?>
UPDATE 2:
I followed the problem down to..
in file loop-single-reply.php
<?php bbp_reply_content(); ?>
If I remove this line, the shortcodes starts magically working.
UPDATE 3:
return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_content', $content, $reply_id );
in bbpress/includes/replies/template.php
This code breaks the entire shortcode loading function.
If I patch this to say return $content; it will start working.
Now to see why this happened..
SOLUTION!
REMOVED:
add_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', array( $this, "shortcode_whitelist" ) );
FROM PLUGIN:
bbPress Advanced Statistics, file: class-bbpress-advanced-statistics-extras.php
CAUSE:
Breaks the loading of shortcodes.
I’m hopeful this will help someone else. It seemed to be a problem with the bbPress Advanced Statistics plugin.
Hi,
This is not an issue, it is a feature of the plugin you downloaded, installed and then enabled. That specific part of the plugin (the whitelist) is disabled by default, so you have enabled it yourself.
Please read the text that is provided alongside the options in the plugin.
The solution to this without editing the file is to simply disable the whitelist, or add the shortcodes that aren’t being displayed into the whitelist. You can do that within the ‘Extras’ tab.
