Are shortcodes supported?

  • Hi!

    I have a few shortcodes in my theme that I need to include in my newsletter.

    In fact this is the main reason I need to use the newsletter plugin.

    However, the shortodes aren’t being processed. What appears in my newsletter is [shortcode] rather than the info the short code should bring back.

    Also it appears that the filters aren’t running.

    Here’s a more user oriented version of the question:

    I want to incldue events (event names, times and dates) from the wp-events-manager plugin.

    I am using the events manager placrholders int he newsletter but when I receive the test newsletter, the placeholders aren’t replaced by the event information.

    Do you have any hints for me me before I start digging into the code?

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Alright let’s start over. Now that I’ve wrapped my head around this a little.

    The main thing I need to do with this newsletter is list events. After a short “editorial” I need to have summaries of several event posts. The events post are custom post types from Markus Sykes’ wp-events-manager.

    It doesn’t seem like the posts inserter is aware of this custom posts type.

    I need to extend the posts inserter to deal with the events type (in addition to the typical posts fields there are date and time field and some other special fields like location. Maybe instead of extending the posts inserter I need to write an events inserter.

    Is this possible? Can you give me a little bit of guidance?

    Cheers again,
    Steve
