Title: [Plugin: Page.ly MultiEdit] Tab not renderign shortcodes Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Page.ly MultiEdit] Tab not renderign shortcodes * [Naoise Golden Santos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngolden/) * (@ngolden) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/) * Hello, * first of all, great plugin, congratulations and thank you so much for delivering it with such good quality. * To the problem: (really simple) * Content written in a tab with a `[shortcode]` doesn’t render the shortcode. * Is this a known issue? Is there a way to solve it? * Any filter we can use as in `add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');` with text widget? * Thank you * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagely-multiedit/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pagely-multiedit/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [joshua strebel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joshuastrebel/) * (@joshuastrebel) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740521) * never tested with shortcodes * [jstebbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstebbing/) * (@jstebbing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740565) * This is a big one for me as well… great plugin, btw. Video content is the issue for me. I can embed via shortcode/custom field or iframe embed, but the filter in the tabs is stripping the code on both methods when publishing a page or post. * Plugins that add iframe embedding are being stripped too, so it seems like the multiedit tabs post area needs the “add_filter”. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Naoise Golden Santos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngolden/) * (@ngolden) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740566) * Since Page.ly Multitab tabs’ information is stored in the custom values, the method should be to apply a filter to the custom values. * This subject is talked about here [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/allowing-shortcode-in-custom-fields](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/allowing-shortcode-in-custom-fields) and here [http://nspeaks.com/978/insert-shortcodes-into-your-custom-fields/](http://nspeaks.com/978/insert-shortcodes-into-your-custom-fields/) * What I can understand of what they say, there is no way to apply this filter unless you tamper with the theme itself. * Is that so? Any way to add a function to the `functions.php` file that would apply a filter to the information contained in the custom values of the post when being displayed? * If that function can be made then it could be put in the plugin, right? * [jstebbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstebbing/) * (@jstebbing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740574) * Any follow up or luck here? I’d love to get this resolved. * I’m assuming it’s something simple because if I add just above in the same container the sidebar totally works and accepts iframes in a text/html widget… so if I can just get the to have the same filtering as we are good. * Right? * [jstebbing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstebbing/) * (@jstebbing) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740576) * It dawned on me today that MultiEdit is leveraging custom fields to create the edit tabs, so I search and found this – [http://code.hyperspatial.com/all-code/wordpress-code/execute-shortcode-in-custom-field/](http://code.hyperspatial.com/all-code/wordpress-code/execute-shortcode-in-custom-field/), which recommends use of this code; * ID, ‘your_custom_field_here’, true)); ?> * The problem is, I’m not sure where to place it and if we need to duplicate this code for each field (tab) in the template. * Ideas? * [Nick Ciske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickciske/) * (@nickciske) * [15 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740594) * Change line 63 of /wp-content/plugins/pagely-multiedit/multiedit.php from this: * `echo $GLOBALS['multiEditDisplay'][$index][0];` * to this: * `echo apply_filters('the_content',$GLOBALS['multiEditDisplay'][$index][0]);` * That will apply the standard filters to the output before it’s written to the browser – no need to change your templates. * If you upgrade the plugin, you’d have to re-edit the file (unless Page.ly adds this patch to the new version). * [Marty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bozzmedia/) * (@bozzmedia) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740596) * Thank you, Nick! Works perfectly, really appreciate you sharing that fix. * [colarikbrothers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colarikbrothers/) * (@colarikbrothers) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740599) * Thank you _all_ for this post! * Thanks Nick!

Sorry for the brain fart… * [Nick Ciske](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickciske/) * (@nickciske) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740620) * Looks like Page.ly added a ‘apply filters’ option so you can use short codes now. * [matchstickmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matchstickmedia/) * (@matchstickmedia) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pagely-multiedit-tab-not-renderign-shortcodes/#post-1740621) * Hi there…was wondering if I could get some help. I have installed Plugin: Page. ly MultiEdit as well as AnythingSlider. * The two aren’t playing nice with each other because of the short codes. AnythingSlider requires a short code in order to function [anything_slides]. * If I put in this short code into my page (any one of the MultiEdit tabs) it loads the slider but automatically disables the multiEdit from rendering. * Note: I have checked Yes to the MultiEdit Short Code Support: and I have used the php echo do_shortcode in the themes custom_home page as well, which also disables the MultiEdit from rendering. * Here is the site so you can see what I am trying to do: [http://66.147.244.61/~lifechu5/](http://66.147.244.61/~lifechu5/) I need the slider on top then was wanting to use mutliedit for the three tabs below it. * Thanks so much for the help!
