Forget About Shortcode (FASC) Buttons are a visual way to add CSS buttons in the rich text editor and to your themes. Instead of adding shortcodes in the post editor, you insert real, styled buttons – making the process of adding buttons to your posts and pages much more natural whilst improving the appearance and usability of the post editor.

FASC Buttons tries to be as clean as possible with the html, only using data attributes for necessary features – the buttons you use in the post editor use the exact same classes as on the front end of your site with no extra or hidden markup to make them behave this way.

Forget About Shortcode Buttons

... and this has it. Works exactly as advertised and is WYSIWYG. In edit mode, the buttons don't shrink when they receive focus, which I've seen on other plugins. There are a wide variety of choices for appearance, and the icons feature is an excellent addition. It just works.

I look for ease of use...

This plugin enables the Visual Editor pane in bbPress, allowing novice or non-technical users to create and format forum posts using a familiar, word-processor-like set of tool buttons.
However, novice users may not know that text copied from applications such as word processors, web browsers and email clients can contain a lot of hidden mark-up and styling. Pasting such text into the Visual Editor can lead to published posts that are garbled with mark-up code or which break the overall page styling or layout.
To avoid such problems, this plugin defaults to paste-as-text mode for Visual Editor forum post editing. Paste-as-text mode attempts to strip all mark-up and styling from pasted text before it is inserted into the Visual Editor.
If you don’t want to enforce paste-as-text mode, it can be disabled in the plugin settings.
Extended Visual Editor buttons can be enabled in the plugin settings, but may not work nicely with some plugin and theme configurations.
Note:
Even if paste-as-text is forced, links in pasted text may show up as embedded content (videos, images, external WordPress posts etc.) in the displayed forum posts.
To disable this embedded content and show ordinary link text, please switch “Auto-embed links” OFF in the BBPress Forums settings.
