    Hi guys. I found this old thread about using shortcode in “special heading”: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/custom-shortcode-in-special-headingheading-text/
    That discussion ended rather abruptly, so i’m asking this:
    1. When CAN you actually use shortcodes in enfold components. Specifically which fields allow this?
    2. Also, how would one go about solving this particular issue at hand?

    Hey terminus112,

    I’m not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to achieve, could you try to explain a bit further? You should be able to use shortcodes in most places. If you are looking to activate debug mode then please refer to this: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/enable-advanced-layout-builder-debug/

    Best regards,

    Well, my problem was exactly the same as the poster in the thread i linked to. You can have a look at the screenshot he attached with red text annotated over the “heading text” from the “special heading”. That’s exactly my problem. i.e when i try to save a shortcode (say [fetch_title]) in that text box (heading text) it doesn’t stick, so i’m guessing enfold filters it out before committing to database. it’s my own shortcode (added to functions.php) and it works nicely in say the default editor so i know there’s nothing wrong with it.
    Ergo my asking about how you actually know which (enfold) components support short codes (by support i mean i can write my short code in a field and it expands to something). It would help if there were some documentation so it was less of a guessing game. :)

    Hey!

    I’m sorry but the documentation does not have that information yet and I’m not sure if it’s really important for many users. Most customers use the theme out of the box and they’re not concern about nested shortcodes.

    Cheers!

    I suppose you’re right Ismael. :) For what it’s worth i’m a demanding son of a gun who tries everything. With that said i’m still really impressed with what enfold can do right out of the box, even if i feel a bit hindered at times. Still, it beats building all this from scratch.

    Thanks for the input. Be well!
