 * Hi, thanks for your work.
 * I need to include a shortcode inside the term description. I tried lots of possible
   solutions but the only one that worked was modifying a plugin archive.
 * In public/layout/partials/content.php line 25 I’ve added “do_shortcode( $wcs_term-
   >description )”. This works but I will lose it on the next update.
 * Is there any way to do it without editing this file? maybe copying the file in
   my child-theme? or some filter in functions.php? I’ve found on forums this one:
   add_filter( ‘term_description’, ‘do_shortcode’ ); but it doesn’t work.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-825%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@zoostudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoostudio/),
 * Thanks for using the plugin.
 * Sorry to say that the current version of the plugin doesn’t have any template
   override option/any custom hook to show the category term description without
   modifying the plugin.
 * So, please keep a backup of your modification if the next update erases your 
   customization. We have noted this as a feature improvement in our development
   roadmap. Hopefully, the template override option from the theme/child theme directory
   will be added to the future version of the plugin.
 * Regards,
    The ShapedPlugin Team
