Support Forums: Keep forum content to the blocks the forums support

[bor0]

The Support Forums offer a fixed set of blocks. This applies that same set to
forum, topic and reply content as it is stored, and again before it is
rendered, recursing through nested blocks so the check cannot be sidestepped
by nesting.

Content that already only uses supported blocks is passed through untouched.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Forum, topic, and reply content now retains only supported blocks. Filtering runs after bbPress input filters, before Blocks Everywhere rendering, and when subscription email content is generated. Nested unsupported blocks are removed.

Changes

Forum block filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Allowlist and recursive filtering wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/support-forums/inc/class-blocks.php	The Blocks class allowlists paragraph, list, list item, code, quote, image, and embed blocks. It recursively detects and removes unsupported blocks while preserving literal content and synchronizing nested metadata.
Input, output, and email hook wiring wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/support-forums/inc/class-blocks.php, wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/support-forums/inc/class-hooks.php	The constructor applies limit_blocks to forum, topic, and reply content. Subscription emails reapply the filter to reply content after existing content filters are removed.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 00a56

Forum content now removes unsupported blocks across storage, rendering, and subscription emails, including nested blocks. The subscription-email path restores filtering before retrieving replies, so no merge-blocking risk remains.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Filter reply content in the subscription email path.

class-hooks.php removes all bbp_get_reply_content filters before it retrieves reply content for subscription emails. This also removes the callback registered on Line 66.

Existing replies with unsupported blocks bypass output filtering. Their text can reach subscription emails after strip_tags().

Keep limit_blocks active for that retrieval, or call it directly before the email body is generated.

Good catch on the mechanism, addressed in 770f122.

Hooks::bbp_subscription_mail_message() runs at priority 5 on bbp_subscription_mail_message and calls remove_all_filters( 'bbp_get_reply_content' ), which does drop the callback added here.

The consequence is a bit different from the one described, though. strip_tags() on the raw stored content also strips the block delimiters, so that particular line is not where it matters. What matters is that the content is read again afterwards: Blocks Everywhere hooks the same filter at priority 10, and its handler re-fetches bbp_get_reply_content( $reply_id ) and runs it through the block renderer, which by then is operating on unfiltered content.

So rather than moving anything into class-hooks.php's own retrieval, the filter is re-registered right after the remove_all_filters() call, which covers both that read and the later one.

The forum-subscription path (bbp_forum_subscription_mail_message, topic content) was already covered, since nothing clears bbp_get_topic_content.

On the docstring coverage warning: the three functions without docblocks are pre-existing (__construct, allowed_blocks, editor_settings) and are only counted because the diff touches them. Leaving them out to keep the diff focused.
