Hi

This is a major issue with bbpress and I could not find a resolution to it. I found couple of similar requests but no one have full resolution.

Basically, if page can be recognized as is_bbpress() true than the footer shortcodes breaks.

How to fix that? Is there some patch?

can you give an example – eg of a footer shortcode that breaks and what bbpress page

[@archux Participant 4 years ago]

The function is_bbpress() is for any page of bbpress

Does not matter, it is account or forum or topic… on all pages…
Footer is built with visual composer…

If i use a shortcode to display forum index, the footer works fine. as soon i click into form:

https://<domain>/forums/forum/<forum name>/ footer breaks
https://<domain>/forums/topic/<topic name>/ footer breaks
https://<domain>/forums/user/<user name>/ footer breaks

It becomes as: [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”…” ….]…….[/vc_row]

Looks like on those page the WordPress function do_shortcode is disabled/unactivated…

Do this make more clear on what pages and what happens with footer?

so if you don’t use VC, does it break ?

just tried a shortcode in the footer of my test site running twentyten, and it works on both bbpress and non bbpress pages using the text widget

Thank you for input
I found what caused issue.

the call for visual composer footer in a shortcode was:

apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $the_post->post_content );

The apply of do_shortcode to $the_post->post_content before echo fixed the text format output of shortcodes and footer now works.

Thank you.
