I suspect the permissions are different between single site and multi site and this is causing discrepencies between developer and user experience.

For others trying to use this plugin on a multi-site install, you may find this useful: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/209386/5077.

It requires that you have the bbpress bbcode and bbpress shortcode whitelist plugins installed to work, as it converts disallowed html into bbcodes on posting. The code shown only supports image tags, but it can be expanded…

Wait this is because I’m on a multi-site installation. The unfiltered_html capability is disabled and its functionality only available to the admin account. Your plugin however is still displaying it for authors.

Apparently this is for security reasons, although I don’t understand why, since if a user can already upload and embed images in a post, why can’t they do the same in a comment?

Are you talking about this wordpress theme?

Okay makes sense. I imagine that if a shortcode ends in /], wordpress treats as closing the shortcode, so it isn’t a container. Sounds like I’d be opening up a large can of worms if I tried to recode that.

I’ll put looking into case sensitivity on my ‘to do’ list, (already in backlog), and close this issue for now, as its more of a feature request than a bug.

This plugin uses wordpresses inbuilt shortcode detection, which is presumably case sensitive. I could see if it can be overridden, but I can’t promise any time frame.

I’m surprised about the quote issue though, as I pretty much always use [url=https://www.remarpro.com]Wordpress[/url] format, and have experienced no problems.

Apologies for late reply. www.remarpro.com don’t notify developers of new support issues unfortunately.

What shortcodes does this mingle plugin use? What is it you need this whitelist to allow?

Sorry for delay in reply. This plugin still works for me, and I have not heard of any issues from elsewhere. I’d be honoured for my work to end up in core, but I’m not sure how likely that is… ??

Well I still need it myself, because converting all my bbcode old forum posts to html would be a pain. Plus it works not just in bbPress, but also in buddypress activity, site comments, user profile fields, and all sorts of places where tinymce isn’t active.

Plus many users are used to using bbcode.

As the developer of this plugin I can say I’ll continue supporting it, even if I’m its only remaining user. ??

There is no way to add custom tags.

However, you should be able to create your own plugin for any extra tags you need by making a copy of this plugin and hacking it. There aren’t many files, but you’ll probably have to hack all of them to make it work.

I originally made this plugin by forking a similar one in much the same way.

Okay. I may get some time to update this plugin soon. I’ll have a look at updating the line you have mentioned. Thanks for sending your fix back upstream.

Hi.

I’m not familiar with the WP-Pro-Quiz plugin. What does its shortcode look like?

I may get a bit of time to look at updating the whitelist plugin soon.

Okay, I’ll take a look.

It is probable that the search results use a different hook for filtering content.

I think that would require either a rewrite of the toolbar plugin or something that used hooks to replace the toolbars default behaviours.

I did intend to look into the latter a while back, but so far I’ve been too busy. For the moment I still use the toolbar with it producing html. Not ideal, but it works.

On the settings page you only need to add:

slideshow_deploy

The whitelist doesn’t know about attributes, so putting them in the list would just confuse things. All attributes and possible values should be enabled if the shortcode tag is enabled. If you want the slideshow with id=250 enabled, but not the slideshow with 249 or some other number, then I’m sorry but I can’t really help just now.

Again, sorry for the basic settings interface. I will get around to improving this in time.
