Shortcode [news cat=1] is not working in Category Description

“.. in Category Description …”
Sorry I don’t understand what you mean?

do you have URL where I can see/understand the problem?

Hi,

At the bottommost of the page https://www.cashfry.in/amazon-coupons/, above the footer there is a description written about Amazon, with the title “Description About the S……..” If I put [news cat=3] it does not show any news. It shows only [news cat=3]

If I put the same shortcode in any post [news cat=3], it shows the news.

Yes this will print all news in category id=3

maybe I understand you now …. You are placing a short code in a Category description … in the editor.
Yes this will never work … not supposed to …

But that would be great if you make little change in the coding, enabling to show the news on category page with the shortcode.

hmmm … I will try ??

Maybe a quick solution to your problem is to create some normal pages and use them for News Cat Archive

maybe this is what you are looking for

Sorry …. a better solution … I think

function simple_news_show_cpt_archives( $query ) {
 if( is_category() || is_tag() && empty( $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] ) ) {
 $query->set( 'post_type', array(
 'post', 'nav_menu_item', 'news'
 ));
 return $query;
 }
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'simple_news_show_cpt_archives' );

Print that in the news.php file at the bottom of the page ….

It works but I think I shall have to make a few changes. Grateful to you.
