Shortcode field edit on profile page

Hi @ailaina123456

Shortcode field only renders that shortcode that you add in the Field settings. It doesn’t display a text field so users can add their own shortcode. It requires customization if you want users to add their shortcode. I suggest adding a text/textarea field and then use the example code below to render that shortcode:

add_filter("um_view_field", function( $res, $data, $type ){
   if( 'my_shortcode_field_key' === $data['metakey'] ){
       if ( version_compare( get_bloginfo('version'),'5.4', '<' ) ) {
        return do_shortcode( $res );
       } else {
        return apply_shortcodes( $res );
       }
    } 
   return $res;
},10, 3);

Just change the metakey ‘my_shortcode_field_key’ to the field that you will create for the shortcode.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this solution!

Where should this code be added exacly?

Hi @ailaina123456

You can add the code to your theme/child-theme’s functions.php file or use the Code Snippet plugin to run the code.

Hi,

When I paste the code into the functions.php file some of the code appear in green, is that normal? Also the 2 last brackets “}” have no counterparts when I click on it. When I implemented the code, it created a critical error.
