We’ve been using wp-poll to insert polls into topics, but after moving web hosts and upgrading to bbPress 2.6.6 and WordPress 5.5 the shortcodes don’t appear to be working.

If I create a topic and put in the shortcode ‘[poll id=”93″]’, the post simply shows that shortcode. It doesn’t look like the shortcodes being rendered.

Has anyone seen this before, or have ideas on what I can try to get polls working again?

Thanks!

Without going into the reasons, I recommend plugins / democracy-poll / for bbp.
More flexible settings, more options, stable performance for my taste.

Shortcodes are not allowed in bbpress post as default. You need to check your code/plugin which allows shortcodes in bbpress posts, there might be the problem.

But where can you enable shortcodes? I also have this problem with the polls.

Found it. Download the plugin: bbpress do shortcodes

Where do I set it to allow shortcodes to show inside bbpress posts?
