Rendering Shortcodes even with Double-Brackets

    Really impressed with this builder. Well done!

    I just have one small bug (which I’ve already found a work-around for). Basically, WordPress allows you to output a shortcode in full onto the page without rendering it if you add double brackets instead of single ones:
    [[my-shortcode]]

    This is really useful for plugin documentation. But when doing this in Beaver Builder, it still tries to render the shortcode. I think it’s because the first set of brackets is getting stripped when Beaver Builder renders it to the preview page, then there’s just the one bracket left, so when you hit “Publish Changes” WordPress sees it as a shortcode.

    So I tried adding three brackets and that’s working, but everytime I edit that page I have to go through every instance and add the three brackets again. So this works but it’s cumbersome.

    I have screenshots if you need some, but I hope that makes sense. Thanks!

    Hey Matt,

    Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad to hear you like the builder. We’re working on the next release that should be out within a week. I’ll have a look at getting this fixed for that as well. Stay tuned.

    Hey Matt,

    I was able to get this fixed. We had do_shortcode within our render_content method that’s called by the_content filter. That filter already calls do_shortcode, so they were getting parsed twice.

    We used to need that because we originally called the_content with a high priority, so builder content wasn’t getting do_shortcode. The high priority ended up causing issues and not being needed either, but we neglected to remove do_shortcode from our render_content method.

    That fix will be out in the next update. If you want to patch it now yourself, that method is located in classes/class-fl-builder.php.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hey Justin,

    That makes sense. Wow. Thanks for the quick turnaround, and the heads up on how I can tweak it in the meantime. Thanks!

    You’re welcome, Matt! It was an easy fix.
