I wanted to add the shortcode in that section, but when I click on that menu it takes me to a 404 page. Could you please check the snippet and let me know if there’s anything else that I need to do? * Thread Starter [suvamss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suvamss/) * (@suvamss) * [6 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11931973) * I resolved the issue of the 404 page, but still need to find out how to add a shortcode to the custom menu. * [https://wc-marketplace.com/support-forum/topic/possible-to-add-a-new-vendor-page/](https://wc-marketplace.com/support-forum/topic/possible-to-add-a-new-vendor-page/) * I couldn’t understand the solution given in this forum. Would be great if you could tell me how to do it. * [DualCube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dualcube/) * (@dualcube) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11936908) * [@suvamss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suvamss/), The vendor dashboard page comes from a shortcode. * All the menus are an endpoint of this vendor dashboard page. So, to add content for your custom menu, you may use any of the two option : * – Create a custom endpoint and add the content. * – Direct the vendor to another page and use shortcode for that custom page. * Let us know if you have any further query. * Thread Starter [suvamss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suvamss/) * (@suvamss) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11939289) * I have already created the endpoint and there’s a new tab in the menu section now, but in the content section, when I try to add a shortcode the way I add in a regular page, it doesn’t show up. Is there any additional code I need to add in the content section to show the shortcode? * [DualCube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dualcube/) * (@dualcube) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11939662) * [@suvamss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suvamss/), as you have to use shortcode to create the custom page, hence you need to direct the vendor to that custom page via this custom menu. * [DualCube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dualcube/) * (@dualcube) * [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11948352) * [@suvamss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/suvamss/), for further help, you can check this thread – [https://wc-marketplace.com/support-forum/topic/adding-shortcode-to-vendor-dashboard/#post-74210](https://wc-marketplace.com/support-forum/topic/adding-shortcode-to-vendor-dashboard/#post-74210) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Adding shortcode to dashboard’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev= 3314608) * [MultiVendorX - WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace AI Powered Solutions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/dc-woocommerce-multi-vendor/reviews/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [DualCube](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dualcube/) * Last activity: [6 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-shortcode-to-dashboard/#post-11948352) * Status: resolved
