Readme github.com/r-a-y/bbp-live-preview ↗

A plugin for bbPress that allows users to preview their forum post before submitting.

Works with the fancy editor (TinyMCE) and the the regular textarea.

Minimum requirements: WordPress 3.5, bbPress 2.2.4
Tested up to: WordPress 4.7+, bbPress 2.6-bleeding

How to use?

  • Make sure bbPress is already activated and installed in WordPress.
  • Download, install and activate this plugin.
  • Navigate to a forum topic and reply to a post or create a brand-new topic
  • In the textarea, start typing and in the "Preview" area below, the container should start mirroring your changes

Caveats

  • Requires javascript to be enabled
  • If autoembeds are enabled in bbPress, autoembed previews will not work without BuddyPress.
  • Why? Because BuddyPress has a more, flexible implementation of autoembeds than WordPress.
  • Could look into including BP's embed class before public release.
