BBCode Deluxe

Description

NOTE: I did not notice that users posted issues and ideas in the “Support” column until the end of July 2020. If you have issues, feel free to email me directly. In addition, if you are going to post a poor review concerning an issue, have you considered emailing me? Also, most or all of those issues have no been resolved.

BBCode Deluxe adds BBCode markup (and other shortcodes) to WordPress and BBPress. These BBCodes create HTML5 tags, so be sure that your site supports HTML5. The plugin also creates a backend page that provides the administrator with information about the server including the version of PHP being used. Go to http://dcjtech.info/html-and-shortcodes-formatting/ to see a live demonstration of this plugin in use.

This plugin also supports nested [quote] shortcodes such as [quote]Outer Quote[quote]Inner Quote[quote]Deep Quote[/quote][/quote][/quote].

BBCode Deluxe works perfectly fine with Enlighter (by Andi Dittrich) as long as you set Enlighter’s priority to “12”.

If “NAME” matches the login name of a user on the system, it will render as

<div class="bbcode-quote bbcode-quote-user bbcode-quote-NAME"><strong>DISPLAY_NAME wrote: </strong><blockquote>QUOTE</blockquote></div>

Where “DISPLAY_NAME” is the display name that user. With BuddyPress installed, the name also becomes a link to their profile page. Otherwise, if BBPress is installed, it becomes a link to their forum user-page.

Reviews

I transferred quite many SMF forum posts to my WP site, many years ago. By using the b0ingBall plugin (which is death), this was no problem. BBCode Deluxe, which includes code from the b0ingBall plugin, seems to remove all empty / blank lines in my posts, which is obviously not something I want.
