    Hello Andre,

    I downloaded “amr shortcode any widget”

    then go to -> Appearance -> widgets and get your widget to the sidebar of the plugin then you can go to the “page builder”

    put this into your row [do widget “name of your widget”]

    Hope this will help you,

    Hi Ozan

    If you have a plugin, say a form plugin want to insert the shortcode for that plugin into Page Builder use the Black Studio Visual Editor in HTML view to insert the shortcode: http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/.

    Let me know how that goes.

    I’m not following your second message. Page Builder doesn’t have any presence under Appearance > Widgets. You can insert widgets into Appearance > Widgets OR Page Builder. So it’s only plugins that don’t have widgets that you need shortcodes for.

    Hello,
    i already use the Black Studio Visual Editor, but shortcodes doesnt work :( When i use shortcodes, i can’t connect to the page (which use the shortcodes). The always try to connect … :( I think it’s an generall problem, maybe the theme ist not compatible or something. But the shortcodes working without the pagebuilder.

    Thanks a lot !!

    Hi, I Work Here

    It sounds like that plugin might unfortunately not be compatible with Page Builder. If you feel like it you could always suggest to the author that they consider becoming compatible. Sorry I don’t have more here.

    In fact, in Black Studio the shortcodes work fine. also in text widget.
    other widget cause problems. like animated image or jut an image…
    my system anyway works with
    //- enable shortcode in widgets
    add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

    but this not helping in these pagebuilder widgets…
    i make a very useful shortcode, for getting image link by id.
    [mediabyid id=XX]
    this keeps my site clean and not hard coded URLs.
    but i can not use it in pagebuilder with most widgets. and it make the site code hard to maintain.

    a solution will be great! ;)

      Hi, I Work Here

      Is it just your own shortcode that isn’t working or are there other shortcodes that aren’t working either? I haven’t tested this recently, but in the past, shortcodes have been working in Page Builder. I’ll take another look though.

      If you are just having this issue with your own shortcode, is there anywhere I could take a look at the code?

    I have a similar problem with Sitebuilder not liking shortcodes…

    I believe I have pinned it down to how shortcodes are handled within page builder.

    A regular shortcode [something] seems to work fine with it from my testing. However if it is something slightly more advanced such as [something id=”something”].

    I think that sitebuilder is getting hung up on the quotes for the dynamic shortcode and creating an infinite loop/stack overflow that eats up all available script memory until it becomes exhausted.

    It would be interesting to know if someone can replicate this and ultimately come up with a solution/update

    Thanks for the feedback Matthew, much appreciated. I’ll ask Greg to take a look as soon as he has a moment.

    Hi – I am having this same problem. If I use the short code without Pageeditor on, it works fine. But with it activated, it won’t accept my short code. Did anyone ever figure out the problem?

  9. 10 years, 10 months ago Matthew Shield

    Hi Kelly,

    I discovered what was causing my problem yesterday, and it turned out it wasn’t the quote marks within the shortcode.

    It seems that when pagebuilder is activated on the portfolio pages (custom post type), the plugin I used to list the portfolio items seemed to load the content of each one which would then load the shortcode I put within the pages (to show related posts).

    As such it would load a shortcode that would load more portfolios which would load more shortcodes which continued in a loop until it ran out of posts to open or it ran out of memory.

    This didn’t happen with pagebuilder switched off as the plugin by default ignored the shortcodes. It seemed that pagebuilder triggered the shortcodes each time the content was pulled through.

    To get around it, I removed all the shortcodes from each portfolio piece and then added them within the template php file to get the related posts to work.

    It might be part of a bigger problem, but hopefully the explanation of what happened to mine will help you to find a solution to your problem. If you can, try triggering shortcodes in the theme file rather than within the post itself.

    THIS PLUGIN IS USELESS AND INCOMPATIBLE WITH MOST USEFUL PLUGINS!!

      Hi Dan

      Sorry to hear you’ve run into trouble with plugin compatibility. I’d be happy to test the plugins you’re working with and assist with a way forward. If you’d like me to help out, please, open a new support thread:

      Page: New Thread

      If you post the link to your new thread here once it’s open, I’d be happy to give it priority. Hope to chat soon, cheers :)

    I understand that the editor is not the problem, but the concept. The script must be placed outside of the text and translated as a code. Your editor is running this text after the interpretation making the code useless.
    The best option would be to cooperate with the text plugin and let HTML be processed as code and not making it to text.
