Hello all,
i need to use a shortcode(or something similar) inside a Hero Image Background url so that i can set the Background URL externally(tried snippets and shortcodes plugins) and call it in the Hero Image so that other people can change the background but doesn’t need to mess with the page itself. It doesn’t work, the url just shows the [shortcode]. Is there any way to do it or i can’t just use a shortcode as the Hero Image Background URL? Thanks.

    Hi Diego,

    Unfortunately, this isn’t possible without a fair amount of custom coding. This is beyond the scope of what we can help you with on our forums, but you could hire a developer to implement this for you.

    We recommend using Codeable. You’ll be able to hire someone at an hourly rate to do this work for you.
