display shortcodes – not hide it

Hi @mdempfle,
Please provide an example shortcode.

e.g. [advanced_iframe src=”//tinywebgallery.com” height=”100%” width=”500″]

I want that the shortcode itself is displayed. Not that it is executed. Right now I only see the shortcode when I edit a post.

Best regards,
Michael

@mdempfle,
Go to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features Tab and check “Enable WordPress Shortcodes in Post Content” option

Hi,

Please read my requirement again. I do not like that the shortcode is executed! I want the shortcode itself is displayed

Like [advanced_iframe src=”//tinywebgallery.com” height=”100%” width=”500″] should be shown! The shortcode above would render an iframe if executed. This is NOT what I want. My users post their shortcodes to show me what they have configured.

Best regards,
Michael

@mdempfle,
Try inserting the Shortcodes in the Text Editor by Using Code Option of the Editor, Press on Code Button, insert the shortcode in it and press ok.

I need a solution where I do not have to give my forum users instructions how to do it.

you should have an option do display shortcodes only and not executed it. Or not simply to hide it. Can you maybe give the code I can modify to fix this?

Best regards,
Michael

@mdempfle,
Disable WordPress Shortcodes in Post Content option, then delete wpForo cache from Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard, press Delete All Cache Button and try again.

@gvectorsdevs This does not change anything. If I do this the shortcode is completely hidden.

Best regards,
Michael

@mdempfle,
It works fine on our forums, you can test it on wpforo.com. So I think this is a conflict with other plugins. First, try to deactivate wpForo addons if you have, then check others. After each deactivation, you should create a new post to see a correct test ressult. Don’t check old posts.
