Hey Nikko,

did you get an answer? I’m still believing that it is unwanted behavior and there should be a check if the call is coming from an ajax call.

Best regards,

Hi Nikko,

Ajax call

(function ($) {
                    $.ajax ({
                        url: "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
                        type: "GET",
                        dataType: "JSON",
                        data: {
                            action:"add_myfunc",
                            post_id: '.$atts['snippet'][0].',
                            meta_id: '.$atts['snippet'][1].'
                        },
                        success: function (resp) {
                            if (resp.success) {
                                // success
                            } else {
                                console.log ("Error: " + resp.data) ;
                                }
                            },
                        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
                            console.log ("Request failed: " + thrownError.message) ;
                            },
                        }) ;
                })(jQuery) ;

load shortcode and process it

function load_snippet($post_id, $meta_id) {

    global $wpdb;
    $snippet = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."postmeta WHERE post_id = '".$post_id."' AND meta_id = '".$meta_id."'" , OBJECT   );
    $meta = preg_replace('#\{{{(.*?)\}}}#m', "", $snippet->meta_value);
    wp_send_json_success (do_shortcode($meta));
}

The shortcode processing is located in shortcode_handler_prepare function in enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/shortcode-template.class.php line 341
Please have a look at the function. I can’t find a hook which helps me.
Condition ! is_admin() returns false because ajax request are always made from backend.

Later there is a comment in source code:

/**
* In backend we return the shortcode as self closing shortcode only as we might have no reliable info about content

and later another one:

//dont use any shortcodes in backend

Therefore I came to the conclusion that the first part of the function should handle ajax calls as well (but isn’t because of admin context) and the if conditions should be
if((wp_doing_ajax() || !is_admin()) && ! Avia_Builder()->wp_head_done && ! $no_header_request )

If I change the code in that line everything works like expected.

Do you know another way?

Stephan

Hi Nikko,

doesn’t help :(
I knew it worked some enfold versions ago. I don’t know what changed.

What happens if you try to execute the above php code in your child theme functions.php? Does it work?

Best regards
Stephan

echo do_shortcode("[av_button label='Klick mich' link='' link_target='' size='small' position='center' label_display='' icon_select='yes' icon_hover='' icon='' color='theme-color' custom_bg='#444444' custom_font='#ffffff' av-desktop-hide='' av-medium-hide='' av-small-hide='' av-mini-hide='' av_uid='']");

For example this code. It is not working in plugin context. The shortcode won’t be processed.
