# Shortcode evaluation not working when enabled

 * I have enabled shortcode evaluation in the Search Appearance. I am running Woocommerce
   and I am using the Custom Global Variable plug in. In the short product description,
   I use [cgv description_mini] which is served correctly by the website. In AIOSEO,
   if I use Product Short description for the meta description the snippet preview
   shows the unevaluated shortcode.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi [@wpnewbie500](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpnewbie500/),
 * The shortcodes displayed in the Snippet Preview is normal. AIOSEO doesn’t parse
   shortcodes in those fields due to compatibility issues with other plugins. But
   the actual text will be displayed in the page source code.
 * We have an article that covers this issue here –
   [https://aioseo.com/docs/running-shortcodes/](https://aioseo.com/docs/running-shortcodes/)
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
