 * Hello,
 * I added [y] in my post title and it is not replaced after the page is published.
   I only see [y] in the published page.
 * Is there something that needs to be enabled or should the plugin works for post
   title?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@masterhealerwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterhealerwp/)
 * Shortcodes doesn’t work as default on title of post and page.
 * If you know what you do you can add this two filters for add shortcodes on title:
 *     ```
       add_filter('wp_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);
       add_filter('the_title', 'do_shortcode', 10);
       ```
   
 * Best regards

 * Thank you for your quick answer.
    What does 10 mean in your code snippet?
 * One idea: Why don’t you add toggle button or checkbox so that your users can 
   easily enable those options instead of adding the code into functions.php?
 * By the way, I’m not a coder, like the majority of individual bloggers and professional
   content creators.

 * Also, can you please let me know how to make sure the shortcode is intertprated
   in the breadcrumbs?
 * This is [not the case](https://snipboard.io/Co3nG0.jpg) by default.
    (I’m using
   Yoast)
 * Same for:
    – the Meta Title – the Meta Description – the footer : “[y] Copyright”
 * Thank you and long live your great plugin

 * Let me please add another one. Can you see the [y] on the image?
 * I made sure you could see the source code [on the screenshot](https://snipboard.io/DurbeQ.jpg)
   for you to tell me how this can be fixed so that your plugin remains effective
   for global title management.
 * indeed, it only makes sense to add Year shortcodes if they are applied globally
   and do not break anywhere.
 * Thanks again.

 * Hi, these questions aren’t covered by plugin support, you need to read Codex 
   of WordPress for understand how WordPress and shortcodes work.
 * We don’t add checkbox for filters because non-developers without knowledge can
   not understand properly what enable filters can implicate.

 * Hi,
 * Again, I’m not a coder and I don’t understand how I can use the plugin if the
   short code cannot be interpretated hen my theme is displaying the feature image
   and title automatically on my home page as shown in my previous link.
 * Also, the shortcode is not interpretated in the breadcrumbs. Is there a way to
   do so?

 * [@jdembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) sorry my fault,
   wrong topic.
 * [@masterhealerwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterhealerwp/) plugin
   work on place where shortcodes are supported, other things aren’t covered by 
   this support. We can’t support customization, you need to hire a developer that
   can help you better.
 * I think you need a specific customization that archive better your requirements.
 * Best regards.

 * [@kgmservizi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kgmservizi/) thanks for your
   reply but as I said, I do think your plugin should update the shortcode in a 
   consistent manner.
 * I think you understood the use case:
    1. The user insert a short code in the 
   title of his post. 2. The title can be reused in the blog page or on the home
   page, in caroussel or in any other widget displaying post thumbnails or post 
   feature images and titles. 3. It does not make sense for a shortcode not to be
   interprated in one place while being in another. It just creates inconsistency
   and bad user experience.
 * Please note that I’m sharing my honest user experience with a default theme I
   have not even customized. I do this to help improve the plugin to improve and
   help it meet the users’ needs.
 * Hope you appreciate.

 * This isn’t our fault, shortcodes work as WordPress core provide and the place
   where they work are default choice from WordPress team (and in some case from
   themes/plugins developers). In some place there are filter for bypass this restriction
   but not for all.
    Remember also that restriction are present for a reason. You
   can ask to WordPress devs for more info.
 * I appreciate your opinion but as you can see it’s not our choice. Any other plugin
   that use shortcodes works exactly like this because it’s so planned in WordPress
   core (which we don’t develop).
 * Best regards

 * Thank you very much for your explanation.
 * I understand them, but you also understand the use case I described, right?
    
   So the shortcode cannot be taken into account on the way WordPress reuse the 
   title for carousel or others.
 * Do the shortcode work in Meta Title and Meta Description?

 * Hi [@masterhealerwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masterhealerwp/) 
   Plugin
   work as shortcodes work, for other uses you need different plugin not based on
   shortcodes.If you need to know how shortcodes work and where they are used by
   WordPress, you will find everything in the details tab here on the directory 
   plugin’s page.Regards
