This is probably a stupid question, but I can’t figure it out.

What is the proper way to post php and html code into a bbpress 2.0 forum post? I tried using < code > but when posting some html, it’s not displayed, tried using the little like on wordpress.org but that didn’t work either.

Does <pre></pre> work?

It works for simple CSS, pasting html it does not work. It shows the grey background but no text in it.

I found this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

If you look down the bottom they are using: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/

You could use this to allow you to use a shortcode.

You could then create a bit of javascript to replace the currently highlighted text with the shortcode with the text inside.

Good luck!
