    Hello!
    I’m trying to add bookmarks to favorite ads using the “Favorites” plugin, but I’m running into a problem. When editing an ad template in a draft, I insert a shortcode for the “Like” button, which will bookmark it, but it does not work in an already published ad (it just shows the text of the shortcode).

    Although when previewing a draft, the button is shown. I tried it on other types of content (posts, pages) – the shortcode works there.

    Can you tell me please what this might be connected with?

    Hi,

    this is because the details page when rendered in the frontend does not allow shortcodes for security reasons, it would be best if the “Favorite” button would be a block.

    In the next update that should be available this month i will see if there is a safe way to allow the shortcodes in the templates.

    In the meantime if you really need this you can open the wpadverts/includes/functions.php file, find line (about 434)

    $content = do_blocks( $block_templates->get_post_template( $post_type ) );

    and below it add 

    $content = do_shortcode( $content );
