Hello!
Thank you for considering TSF ??
Yes, we’ve thought ahead in that, but it’s a non-standard feature. You’ll have to insert two tiny filters on your website. Pick the ones that apply to your website.
Either, when using WP 5.4 or higher:
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_custom_field', 'apply_shortcodes' );
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_custom_field_description', 'apply_shortcodes' );
Or, when using WP 2.5 or higher (also works on WP 5.4):
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_custom_field', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_custom_field_description', 'do_shortcode' );
Either of those filters will enable shortcode processing when you manually input them in the TSF-supplied SEO-meta fields.
Please note that shortcodes from your content and page-titles won’t be considered for auto-generation of descriptions. You can enable that, however, with these filters:
// Disable stripping of shortcodes in description generation.
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_allow_excerpt_shortcode_tags', '__return_true' );
// do_shortcode, or optionally use apply_shortcodes WP 5.4+
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_fetched_description_excerpt', 'do_shortcode' );
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_title_from_generation', 'do_shortcode' );
Please note that the shortcode output can get cached via object-caching, and I, for security reasons, do not recommend using the last snippet unless you’re certain the shortcodes won’t output sensitive (user) information.
