WP Bakery shortcode is not converted

Hi @chris971

Thanks for reaching out.

By default, shortcodes added to the event description will not be rendered/converted when the event is added to a calendar.

Your desired use-case scenario may be possible with some custom coding, but if you decide to give that a try, please note we cannot provide full support for custom implementations like that.

If you want the shortcode to be removed from the description when you add the event to a calendar, then you could try the snippet code below:

add_filter( 'tec_views_v2_single_event_gcal_link_parameters', 'tribe_change_content_to_excerpt_in_gcal', 10, 2 );

function tribe_change_content_to_excerpt_in_gcal( $pieces, $event ) {
	$pieces["details"] = urlencode(ltrim(preg_replace( '/(\[.*?\])/', '', $event->post_content )));
	return $pieces;
}

Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Hi Darian,

thanks, I would like to try this. In which function file should the script be added?
Thank you.

Hi Darian,
another question, could the problem be solved with the premium plugin?
Thank you.
Chris

Hi @chris971

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, the premium plugin does not address the “shortcodes” when you add your event to a calendar.

Custom code snippets can be inserted in functions.php a file that is under your currently active theme folder. It is advisable to insert it on the child theme so that it will not affect your customization every time there’s an update with the parent theme. You can find more details on how to properly implement the custom code snippets here.

If you’re not familiar with coding, you can use the Code Snippets plugin, which removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme’s functions.php file.

I hope that helps, and let me know if you have further concerns.
