Bug report: Shortcodes aren't rendering in optins. See: https://gauravtiwari.org/best-indian-bloggers/

Also, taxonomies like tag and post_series are appearing in breadcrumbs and not categories.

Bug report: Shortcodes aren't rendering in optins. See: https://gauravtiwari.org/best-indian-bloggers/

Most likely needs a patch in /dropins/optins/cta/templates/cta.php change line 16:

<?php echo wpautop( $fields['text'] ); ?>

to:

<?php echo wpautop( do_shortcode( $fields['text'] ) ); ?>

The downside of not being able to rely on the_content filter.

This doesn't work. https://www.iceable.com/blog/stop-w... a function that,being saved in your database.

Can't execute shortcodes inside wpautop.

Example?

https://gauravtiwari.org/best-indian-bloggers/ has post_series taxonomy. https://gauravtiwari.org/area-of-a-circle/ has a tag.

This was a just a quick fix for you, do_shortcode() will make sure shortcodes render within wpautop no matter what. I will probably reevaluate a few areas and go back to using the_content filter, though the CTA box was where a possible WooCommerce filter error was found in the past.

I did the edits. But that didn't work.

Ok, you can redownload MD and install it to Appearance > Themes. make sure you resave the MD settings afterwards. The shortcode issue should be resolved, I reverted that template back to what it was before. Thanks for working through this one.

I will examine the breadcrumbs next.

Edit: currently the breadcrumbs will take the most prominent term/category attached to it, which is usually the last tag or category added to the page. I will work on resolving this.

Hey Alex, I still can't disable stream, it stays ticked...

Hey Alex, I still can't disable stream, it stays ticked...

That issue is still unresolved I'm sorry to say. A workaround for now is to see if there are any other features you'd like to enable or disable, tick them, then untick the Stream to disable it. It's a weird issue and I will report the status of it in the official thread when I get to an answer.

I can confirm that shortcodes are working in optins.

after enabled breadcrumbs, on single posts it appears like this: My Site > Blog > My Category
where does the Blog slug come from? It has the same as url as My Site.

the breadcrumbs also appears on top of the container of my homepage. how to remove it?

The Site Title > Blog prefix was designed to show you are on "Site name's blog". I have noticed they link to the same place, which I could change since it does seem redundant.

the breadcrumbs also appears on top of the container of my homepage. how to remove it?

You can edit the page and click the Remove breadcrumbs option in the Layout post meta box. This applies to any post, page, or category as well.
