html is not allowed for security purposes, but if you want to enable all or some then

add_filter( 'bbp_kses_allowed_tags', 'ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags' );

function ntwb_bbpress_custom_kses_allowed_tags() {
	return array(

		// Links
		'a'          => array(
			'class'    => true,
			'href'     => true,

			'class'    => true,
			'target'    => true,
		),

		// Quotes
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite'     => true,
		),
		
		// Div
		'div' => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Span
		'span'             => array(
			'class'     => true,
		),
		
		// Code
		'code'       => array(),
		'pre'        => array(
			'class'  => true,

		// Formatting
		'em'         => array(),

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Hi Robin W.
This solution allow Model Viewer Tag, but bbpress editor keeps converting my shortcode to html, how to solve this?

Thanks.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 2 months ago]

um…that’s what shortcodes are for ???

if you just want the shortcode displayed without bbpress interpreting it, then use the ‘code’

eg

[model_viewer ID'...']

[@angelorocha Participant 4 years, 2 months ago]

Yes, I’m inserting the shortcode, but when editing the topic, bbpress converts the shortcode to HTML, see the images, I don’t know why that happens.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 2 months ago]

from your image, it is because you have not use the CODE in your post.

so you show

[model_viewer...etc]

when if you do not want wordpress to translate this you should have

`[model_viewer…etc] with a second tick at the end, then when you edit it will stay as the code

Thanks for your help, but I don’t think you understand my problem, sorry for my bad English.

See the real problem:

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 2 months ago]

ok, thanks I now understand.

Sorry, that’s the way WordPress works – not a loot I can do to help.

The shortcode is rendered when you publish, and when you edit I think it does not like that you ared using html – maybe a permission issue.

I cannot really help further
