Hi,
I've never tried to used RPB Chessboard with bbPress. (actually I'm not familiar with bbPress at all!) I'll have to try this plugin to see whether it is possible or not.

Did you manage to find out if this is possible at all? Would make for a great addition to our club's website :)

Hi,
From what I've seen, bbPress does not support shortcodes defined by third-party plugins in forum posts, but I do not master all the technical subtleties of bbPress. I've requested technical support on their forum:

Hi,
As of RPB Chessboard version 4.8.1 (just released), and assuming that the bbPress – Do Short Codes plugin is enabled (https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-do-short-codes/), FEN diagrams should work in bbPress posts.

Unfortunately, the rendering of PGN games still does not work.

Thanks for this! I will test it out.

Hi,

Very interested in embedding PGNs in my bbpress posts too.

Any updates on compatibility?

EDIT: Can confirm that FENs are working, dying for PGN compatibility - even willing to pay if it works well. 💯

Hi,
Unfortunately, no update on this feature yet.

I realise this thread is rather old, but I figure it may be useful to keep all the related stuff together. Am I doing something wrong or does this no longer work?

You'd never said that PGNs worked, but I can't get FENs working in bbPress either. Using "inspect" reveals the javascript error:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).removeClass(...).chessboard is not a function

Looking at other issues people have encountered this looks like it's a compatibility issue with plugins or themes, but I've put up a test version of the site and deactivated all the plugins other than bbPress, bbPress Do Short Codes and RPB Chessboard. I've also tried switching to the standard themes and I still get that error and no board. My debugging abilities are rather limited, so I don't know what else to look for.

The test site with the non-working bbPress post and replies is here

@BSEChess FEN rendering in bbPress has been broken because of optimizations made for #135.

As of version 5.7.0, a workaround is provided: go to the plugin compatibility settings (in admin, menu "Chess" > "Settings" > "Compatibility settings"), and disable "Lazy-loading for CSS/JavaScript files").

PGN still does not work in bbPress.

As of 2024, both FEN and PGN are working in bbPress, though with some restrictions. More details in #52.

Since the remaining problems are more related to bbPress and the bbPress – Do Short Codes plugin than to RPB Chessboard itself, I'm closing this issue.
