Conflict with theme’s shortcodes?

    Hi there!

    I am WordPress 4.6.1 running Modern Vintage theme at:https://modernhipster.com/

    This theme heavily uses shortcode, and so when I tried to create a page section and insert the widget shortcode, you can see that it didn’t work (halfway down the page you will just see the shortcode text).

    Is there any work around? I already tried the suggestion of
    <textarea class=”widefat” onclick=”this.select()” readonly=”readonly”>[widget id=”lw_instagram-3′. $widget->id .'”]</textarea>

    But it did the same thing.

    many thanks in advance,
    Amanda

    I’ve left both of them there, and yes, I put them in the text, not visual editor

    It seems the theme is not running shortcodes (in WordPress you have to use do_shortcode so the shortcodes are executed). Try adding a different shortcode in there, say a shortcode from the theme or one from a different plugin.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for responding. There is indeed shortcodes from the theme on other pages; I tried putting this shortcode in other pages also, i.e. beside the theme shortcode and it also didn’t work there.

    For example, the section called “About” is using shortcodes from the theme…

    Hope this helps

    @shazdeh do you have any other ideas? I am indeed using shortcodes from the theme as you suggested..

    Sorry about the delay in response.
    The plugin is fairly straightforward, uses WP’s API to register a shortcode. It has to be something from the theme, however unfortunately the theme you are using a premium one and I don’t have access to it. If you like, I can provide you with my personal email address, and follow up from there.

    Got it to work using

    if ($current_ID==526 ): ?>
    <div class=”container”>
    <?php echo Widget_Shortcode::get_instance()->do_widget( array(
    ‘id’ => ‘lw_instagram-3’
    ) ) ?>
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>
