I am trying to figure out how to allow custom shortcodes in topic posts. So far i’ve been trying to use bbp_shortcodes like this.

function bbp_custom_shortcode($codes) {

$codes[] = array(‘item’ => ‘item_func’);

return $codes;

}

add_filter( ‘bbp_shortcodes’, ‘bbp_custom_shortcode’);

The codes array is appended but it does nothing Can you explain how to do it properly.

this works:

add_action( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’, ‘do_shortcode’);

but it does allow every shortcode.

I’ve done the same thing to my installation, however, you may want to use a check to check a users role so only certain roles can post shortcode.
