Shortcodes in Title, Description

    Hi guys,

    I really like your Plugin and i have already donated something.

    There’s one small but important issue that I would like you to resolve in a future version. The Title, Description and OG:Title of an article or page are not parsed with shortcodes. So any use of shortcodes is impossible.

    I solved it in a working way by using the plugin “add actions and filters” (to not loose settings afte updating my theme) and adding these filters to do shortcode:

    add_filter( 'aioseop_title', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'aioseop_description_override', 'do_shortcode' );

    I still didn’t find out how to add a filter to the “OG:TITLE” tag.

    Could you please add an option into the next version of the Plugin to parse shortcodes in all applicable fields? I just need it and maybe some others to!

  • Hi robertskiba,

    That is indeed the correct way to do this; we do have a checkbox for using shortcodes in autogenerated descriptions, I’ll see if it’s feasible for us to add an option for running shortcodes in all titles and descriptions as well. Here’s the code for running shortcodes in og:title:

    add_filter( 'aiosp_opengraph_meta', 'robertskiba_filter_ogtitle', 10, 3 );

function robertskiba_filter_ogtitle( $value, $type, $field ) {
    if ( $field == 'title' ) {
        $value = do_shortcode( $value );
    }
    return $value;
}

    Thanx for the fast support and for naming a function after me ;-))))

    For anybody who is having the same problem, here’s the workaround:

    1. Install the plugin “add actions and filters” by using the install plugin system.

    2. Then go to “tools->add actions and filters”

    3.

    Insert this code to make it work:

    add_filter( 'aioseop_title', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'aioseop_description_override', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'aiosp_opengraph_meta', 'aioseopcustom_filter_ogtitle', 10, 3 );
function aioseopcustom_filter_ogtitle( $value, $type, $field ) {
    if ( $field == 'title' ) {
        $value = do_shortcode( $value );
    }
    return $value;
}

    To reduce CPU-Load, it maybe good to be able to choose in whicht fields shortcodes are run.
