Using shortcodes on Form Success page

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

May I ask where do you use your [wpdts] shortcode? Is it added in a ACFE Form WYSIWYG field that update the Post Content?

Or is just used in the post content in the admin, displayed on the front-end, and not updated using the form?

Thanks!

Regards.

Hello Konrad

As I mentioned before I use it after form is submited. Acctually I use redirect url shortocode to redirect user to another page after form is submited. It works before but now not.

With best reagrds,
Vladimir

Hello,

Thanks for the details!

What do you mean by “I use it after form is submited”? Do you add this shortcode in success message? in post content? Or with a PHP code?

If you can share a screenshot showing where it is used, it will help me to understand the issue.

Thanks!

Regards.

Yes of course . It’s inside of Succes message. Like at screenshot. I check shortcodes at pages and posts , there they are work properly.

Hello,

Thanks for the details!

I managed to reproduce the issue. In fact, shortcodes don’t work in the success message in the current version. This will be fixed the next patch. In the meantime, you can fix it by yourself following these instruction:

In the file /acf-extended/includes/modules/form/module-form-front-render.php on line:36, find this code:

$message = sprintf($form['success']['wrapper'], wpautop(wp_unslash($message)));

Replace it by this code:

$message = sprintf($form['success']['wrapper'], apply_filters('acf_the_content', wp_unslash($message)));

This will fix the issue, and make shortcodes work again in the success message.

As a side note, if you want to redirect the user after the form submission, I would rather recommend to add a “Redirect Action” to your Form (See documentation), instead of using a shortcode in the success message.

This is the most safe way to redirect a user, and it also allows you to use template tags and retrieve dynamic data. For example, if you create a post with a “Post Action”, you can redirect the user to the newly created post with a “Redirect Action” after the “Post Action”, and use in the URL: {action:post:permalink}.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Konrad

Thanks a lot for your respond.
I haven’t find this redirect action before. It seems like a best way to realize my tasks.
All the best.
