Issue with custom shortcodes

    Hi, we are using the astra theme with beaver builder lite. I added a few custom shortcodes to my child theme functions.php and i add the shortcodes to the pages via the beaver builder text editor. The weird thing is that when the shortcodes are added in my functions file, the beaver builder editor doesn’t save my changes and redirects to a random post when i save, without any errors. In order to edit my pages i need to every time comment out the add_shortcode() functions which will be a huge problem when we launch the site and the client will need to do edits himself. Any ideas on why this would happen? I have everything running at the latest version,

    Exactly what is your shortcode? Thats where the issue probably is.

    function create_infosuisse_table_matiere_shortcode() {
  // Custom WP query query

  $output = '';

  $args_query = array(
    'post_type' => array('magazine'),
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'order' => 'DESC',
  );

  $query = new WP_Query( $args_query );

  if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
      $query->the_post();
      $output .= get_field('table_des_matieres');
    }
  } else {

  }
  return $output;

  wp_reset_postdata();

}
add_shortcode( 'info-suisse_table_matiere', 'create_infosuisse_table_matiere_shortcode' );

    You should probably use get_posts() for a simple query like that but at 1st glance you have wp_reset_postdata() *after* the return $output; line.

    Hi Simon,

    I’ve been reading about wp_reset_postdata() and it seems putting it after is the proper way to do it. I just tried inverting it and then i just cant edit any boxes in the beaver builder anymore
