Shortcodes in mail text are not executed

    A shortcode like [table id=1 /] (from the TablePress plugin) in a text or HTML block of the composer is not replaced with its output. Not on editing (okay, that’s not what I need), but also not on the mail to test subscribers, an not when finally sending to the normal subscribers.

    The shortcode option is activated (set to “yes”).

    I also tried the hook newsletter_replace or newsletter_message_html in the functions.php with a custom internal shortcode without success:

    add_filter("newsletter_replace", "cy_filter_newsletter_tablepress", 10, 3);
function cy_filter_newsletter_tablepress($html, $email, $user) {
   return preg_replace('/\{table_([^\s\}]+)\}/', do_shortcode('[table id="\1" /]'), $html); 
}

    Using that code with {table_1} in a text or HTML block results in the correct shortcode [table id=”1″ /], but does not execute the shortcode itself.

    Do I misunderstand the functionality of shortcodes in mails, or is it a bug, or a PRO feature?

    Hi, try to enable the shortcode execution on Newsletter main settings. Your filter is almost ok, you should only call do_shortcodes($text) and get the result.

    The problem: sometimes shortcodes are NOT registered for the admin side since it happens they give problems in the post editing (at least I experienced that with some themes).

    Thanks for your answer. “sometimes shortcodes are NOT registered for the admin side” was the helpful hint: it was a TablePress problem.

    Added this lines to my filter function

    TablePress::$controller = TablePress::load_controller( 'frontend' );
TablePress::$controller->init_shortcodes();

    plus some improved shortcode output, ie. removing the “Edit”-Link from the TablePress output…
