    Hello,
    Fist of all thanks for your plug-in !
    Here’s my request: I’m trying to embed a video in category’s description, using [embed][/embed] shortcode, but seems like the shortcode isn’t trnsformed in a video display but it’s removed from display.

    Could you tell me where I can change something so shortcodes won’t get removed and hopefully get displayed well ?

    Thanks for your help.
    David

  • According to the changelog, this feature is implemented in the code:

    1.5.1
    Fixed: restored do_shortcode filter on term descriptions

    Shortcodes are working for me in Tag and Category descriptions, but not Taxonomy descriptions. I am using the Genesis theme. I used the Simple Sidebars plugin to insert this code before the loop to get thetaxonomy description on the archive page:

    if(is_tax()) {
	$term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
        ?><h1><?php echo $term->name; ?></h1>
        </br>
        <?php echo $term->description;
        ?> </br> <?php
}

    Any idea how to get the shortcodes working? Thanks!

    Use 

    echo do_shortcodes($term->description);

    instead of 

    echo $term->description;
