Visual Composer in BuddyPress / BBpress

Hi there,

I’m quite new to the Buddy/BB scene, although I’ve been building WP sites for a while now.
Usually, WP Bakery’s Visual Composer is one of my key building blocks, but that does not go well for me in the Buddy/BB forum site I’m setting up now.

When I’m setting up a Forum, I get the option of using VC’s backend editor in order to get the content and lay-out right, but when I preview the page, I get a text block showing all the VC shortcodes.

Am I doing something wrong or are VC and BuddyPress bad bed fellows?
I’m using the latest versions of all software and plugins. I’m using kBase theme by https://wedesignthemes.com/

The site runs under http://dev.eltrex-motion.com/forums/

Thanks!

Bye

Ward

Someone would need to debug the two plugins and understand where the incompatibility lies.

There is something wrong with either of your theme or your shortcode syntax. We’ve been using both Visual Composer +bbPress+BuddyPress for several years and we have no issues so far.

Take note that the theme must support buddypress or bbpress, atleast from the a simple stylesheet.

Check out this theme: http://flocks.dunhakdis.com/community-forums/ . The homepage uses bbpress shortcodes formatted inside a VC block.

Cheers

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the input!

I choose kBase by DesignThemes ( https://themeforest.net/item/knowledge-base-helpdesk-wordpress-theme/18600587?s_rank=10 ) after reviewing and comparing a lot of premium themes and this one should be just right for this combination.
Of course I first knocked on their door with my problem, but they pointed me to the plugins…
So, as so often is case, Theme builder points at plugin developer and vice versa, with me in the middle not getting any wiser…

Best regards,
Bye

Hi Paul,

I somehow did not get an allert of your message!

Do you have a suggestion as to who would be well suited for that?
I’ve been using VC for some years now, in combination with some 30 themes and loads of plugins and have never had any issues like this.
And truthfully, debugging it myself would be a lengthy process that would simply cost me too much time now…

Best regards,
Bye
