Shortcode not working in GeneratePress ‘page header’ content

Hi – been using and recommending Spots for years for many sites that we’ve built as it’s so easy to insert content anywhere but still edit it using the TinyMCE editor.

Just started to use GeneratePress theme (which is awesome too) but it appears the ‘Page Header’ content area (which accepts shortcodes) doesn’t convert a Spot shortcode. The shortcode works perfectly well within the main content part of the page, but not in this header area.

Tom at GeneratePress suggests I contact you, and says: “Hmm, not sure why it wouldn’t work, as the page header textarea runs through the do_shortcode() WordPress function. Might be worth asking the developer of that plugin if it will only run inside the WP content and no where else.”

I have found a workaround by creating my own shortcode with a spotname parameter to insert your code, but this relies on the client typing it all in correctly. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance ?? Andy
