The BB Code parsing needs to be done in your plugin not the .php file...

Using the 1st version you posted in the above post make the plugin into:

PHP Code:

$numposts='7';

$thrdqry = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
    SELECT thread.threadid, thread.title, username, post.dateline, post.pagetext FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post ON thread.firstpostid = post.postid
            WHERE thread.forumid IN (61, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138, 139) AND thread.visible = '1'
    ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC
    LIMIT 0, $numposts ");

while ($thrds = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($thrdqry))    
{
    $postdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thrds['dateline'], true);
    $posttime = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thrds['dateline']);



//Code I added

$thrds[pagetext] =  $bbcode_parser->parse($thrds[pagetext] ,'nonforum', true);  





    $homepage_recent_post .=<<<EOD
<div class="post-1 post type-post hentry category-uncategorized" id="post-1">
    <h2 class="title"><a href="showthread.php?t=$thrds[threadid]" target="_blank" alt="$thrds[title]" title="$thrds[title]">
        $thrds[title]
</a>
    </h2>
    <div class="postdate">
        <img src="images/date.png" /> $postdate <img src="images/user.png" /> $thrds[username] 
    </div>
    <div class="entry">
        <p>$thrds[pagetext]</p><a href="showthread.php?t=$thrds[threadid]" target="_blank" alt="$thrds[title]" title="$thrds[title]">
        Read more..
</a><br/><br/>
    </div>
</div>
EOD;
            
} 


Don't forget to put the:

PHP Code:

 require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');
   $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($GLOBALS['vbulletin'], fetch_tag_list(),true); 


At the top of the plugin now... and you may need global.php too, try it and see.
