Hi All, I am a bit confused and I need some advice. I have a bbpress forum and I want to place vimeo video in the topics and replies. Is there a plugin (or plugins) that allow me to use shortcodes. Viper’s does not seem to work.

I can directly add the vimeo url to the topic and it seems to work. Is that the best way to do it? Shouldn’t I be using shortcodes instead.

I am running the lastest WP 3.8 and the latest bbpress.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This is the easiest and best way to do it as WordPress is actually controlling this rather than you having to use shortcodes.
