How to use shortcode as content

Resolved

(@schweizerschoggi)

Hi
I am using a shortcode for another plugin (“WordPress Popular Posts”) to display the 5 most popular posts on my frontpage. How can I use this shortcode with your plugin? I would love to display the first 3 of the popular posts directly and the other two in sliders. Any chance to achieve this?

The shortcode for the WPP plugin is

[wpp stats_views=0 stats_date=1 stats_author=1 limit=3 excerpt_by_words=1 excerpt_length=20 thumbnail_width=350 thumbnail_height=250 wpp_start='<div class="brick_list">' wpp_end='</div>' post_html='<div class="brick_item" onclick="location.href={url}"><div class="brick_item-image">{thumb_img}</div><div class="brick_item-header text-left"><p class="post_date-created post_cat-icon">{date}
<h4><a href="{url}">{text_title}</a></h4></div><div class="brick_item-body"><span class="wpp-excerpt">{summary}</span></div><div class="brick_item-footer"><div class="author_infobox"><span class="author_name d-inline-block">{author}</span></div></div></div>']

if this does help

You need to tick the “Allow Shortcodes” checkbox within “Slider Settings“.

You have asked this exact same question in 2 separate support threads – see HERE. Why have you done this?

Yeah sorry, the first time I posted my question it did not appear within the next ~ 5min. So it seems it has reached you, just later.

Thank you for your response anyway!
