Shortcode Loop

Hello, I am having the same problem described here: https://siteorigin.com/thread/shortcodes-doesnt-work-with-pagebuilder/#comment-43408

I however cannot easily move the shortcode from the content to the template file.

The shortcode I am loads some testimonial posts and loops over them and outputs their content.

Some content here
[testimonials limit="3"]
More content here

There should not be any recursion happening.

Thank you.

    Hi Emrl

    Which plugin is outputting the shortcode? We’ll take a look and advise further.

    Thanks :)

    Hi Andrew, it is a custom shortcode of ours.

    It basically loads posts via

    get_posts

    and then loops over them and uses

    apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content($id))

    to output the post content.

    I have also noticed that using a Gravity Form shortcode for a form that has a radio group “Other” option, the “Other” option is output 3 times instead of once. With Page Builder disabled it outputs normally. I think that these problems are related to my original problem as well.

    Thanks for the update. The challenge is that Page Builder outputs using

    the_content

    function. Perhaps we should be coming in at priority 9 so you can come in later. Can you perhaps send me your code so we can take a look and see if we can’t make Page Builder better in this regard. Perhaps a ZIP file on the cloud somewhere. You can use the Private Reply checkbox bottom right.

    Thanks for reporting the Gravity issue, I haven’t seen that before and will take a look.
