Do you have a script I can load in the header before hand? * Thanks * Mark * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-when-using-shortcode-4%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [simonpedge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonpedge/) * (@simonpedge) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327386) * Never seen this before. How are you inserting this shortcode? * Test inserting the shortcode on a standard page (without the accordion) – maybe there is an issue with your accordion recognising shortcodes. * Thread Starter [markchanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markchanda/) * (@markchanda) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327403) * Hi, * Just the regular shortcode i.e. [slide-anything id=’11805′] * Also just pasted into regular wordpress editor. * Thanks * Plugin Author [simonpedge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonpedge/) * (@simonpedge) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327404) * And did it work?

Use the standard WP Editor (not the page- builder) and just paste the shortcode into the editor box. Let see what happens with this? * Am just trying to ascertain whether your page-builder (what page-builder are you using?) is having an issue with regards to executing a shortcode within an accordion. * Thread Starter [markchanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markchanda/) * (@markchanda) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327453) * Simon, * The shortcode works on a regular page, but not on the listing page. I am using a listing directory called Listar. * [https://themeforest.net/item/listar-wordpress-directory-theme/23923427](https://themeforest.net/item/listar-wordpress-directory-theme/23923427) * Thanks * Plugin Author [simonpedge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonpedge/) * (@simonpedge) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327467) * Ok, is there another shortcode (e.g. from another plugin) that you can test inside the Listar page-builder/plugin.

I tried to install the Elfapps Tripadvisor shortcode i.e. *
* So we solved this issue by using a script plugin called Insert Headers and Footers and inserting in the header section – and
in the listing page. * Thanks * Plugin Author [simonpedge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonpedge/) * (@simonpedge) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327540) * This type of workaround solution will probably not work with Slide Anything, because the JavaScript is not a static file, but is generated dynamically for each slider. * Have you asked Listar why their plugin has issues with shortcode content and can they provide a solution? * Thread Starter [markchanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markchanda/) * (@markchanda) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327547) * Ok thanks Simon. * I will ask them. * Cheers Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Error when using shortcode’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/slide-anything.svg) * [Slide Anything - Responsive Content / HTML Slider and Carousel](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slide-anything/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slide-anything/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slide-anything/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slide-anything/reviews/) * 10 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [markchanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markchanda/) * Last activity: [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-using-shortcode-4/#post-15327547) * Status: not resolved
