Custom Template “do_shortcode” no longer working properly

    Roland,

    I have a custom template which reads one field containing a shortcode for a map plugin. Up to version 1.7.5.9 the code 

    $map_string = '['.$this->field->get_value().']';
	  	echo do_shortcode($map_string);?>

    Worked fine ie it reads and implements the relevant shortcode- it no longer works in 1.7.5.10

    Please advise

    Malcolm

    There was a change in that version to close up some security vulnerabilities, and had the unfortunate side effect of making it impossible to put HTML into normal field values.

    I don’t know what the content of that field is, so I can’t say specifically what is going wrong there. Can you post the field value?

    The field contains

    wpgmza id=”1″ with the number changing in each record

    I suppose I could build the shortcode in the template and just have the number stored in the field, but would have preferred to have avoided that if possible

    Well, if your field value was simply “1” you could do something like this:

    $map_string = '[wpgmza id=”'.$this->field->get_value().'"]';
	  	echo do_shortcode($map_string);?>
