WP shortcodes

[robinhood]

I see a lot of questions in the forums about using wordpress shortcodes, but my issue is a bit different than most.  I would like to be able to drop a shortcode from an unrelated plugin into a civicrm event page, either in the info page or the registration page.  The shortcode square-bracket text itself is displayed, so I gather that it is not being processed through the wordpress functions which would replace the shortcode by calling the plugin.  Is there a way to make this work?

you can potentially do this in a hook (alterContent hook) before the page renders.

if u do so, please share your implementation so others can benefit

Ok here is one way.

Code: [Select]

function wordpress_civicrm_alterContent(&$content, $context, $tplName, &$object) {
$content = do_shortcode($content);
}
