This is a utility plugin that will allow other plugins and themes to swap out shortcodes with custom images, in the same way that WordPress’ native gallery shortcode does this. Replacement images can be clicked to reveal a ‘delete’ button.
This works extremely well when your shortcode already has a tinymce button, but does work for manual shortcodes too.
This plugin does not support multi-line shortcodes or non-self-closing shortcodes (e.g. it supports <code>[foo bar="baz"]</code> but not <code>[foo]bar baz[/foo]</code>). Honestly, I don’t even know what would happen if you tried to use one. It may work, but it’s entirely unsupported.
To add your shortcode, hook onto the filter <code>'jpb_visual_shortcodes'</code>. That filter will pass one array as an argument. Each element of that array is an associative array which must contain values for the following keys:
<ul>
<li><code>shortcode</code> The name of the shortcode to replace</li>
<li><code>image</code> The url of the image to replace the shortcode with.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, the array may contain the optional parameter <code>command</code>, which must be a valid tinymce command. If present, this value will trigger a second UI button (‘Edit’) when the user clicks the replacement image which, when clicked, will execute the tinymce command passed as the value.

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.
