# Shortcode problem

 * Hello, I have a problem with one of my group names. I added a shortcode next 
   to the name from the dashboard to display a verified badge. It works perfectly
   except for on the main group page. It displays the actual code instead of the
   badge. Does anyone know a fix to either hide the code or get the badge to display.
   I would prefer the badge to be displayed though. You can see what i mean here:
   
   [http://connectioninterface.com/groups-2/verified/](http://connectioninterface.com/groups-2/verified/)
   This what it looks like on another page (this is what i want) [http://connectioninterface.com/groups-2/](http://connectioninterface.com/groups-2/)
   Thanks

 * That’s because headings don’t (by default) parse shrotcodes. That only happens(
   by default) in content.
 * You can change this pretty easily though. In your pages template file you’ll 
   see the H1 tag being output, and you’ll just need to add something like this:
 * `<h1><?php echo do_shortcode( apply_filters( 'the_title', $post->post_title ));?
   ></h1>`
 * It’s the `do_shortcode()` function that will output the actual shortcode.
 * Note that this is purely an example, and your theme may have code that looks 
   a bit different to this, so if you are not sure, let us know what the code is
   for your theme.
 * Another way of doing it that may suit you better is to add a filter in for `the_title`
   and add the badges on using that filter instead of modifying the templage file
   in any way.

 * Hello, thanks for responding, i dont see the h1 tags. This is what the page template(
   page.php) looks like:
 * <?php
    /** * The template for displaying all pages * * This is the template that
   displays all pages by default. * Please note that this is the WordPress construct
   of pages * and that other ‘pages’ on your WordPress site will use a * different
   template. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/) Ribosome*/
 * get_header(); ?>
 *  <div id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
    <div id=”content” role=”main”>
 *  <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    <?php get_template_part( ‘content’,‘
   page’ ); ?> <?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?> <?php endwhile; // end of 
   the loop. ?>
 *  </div><!– #content –>
    </div><!– #primary –>
 * <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

 * First, when you’re posting code in here, you should use the `code` button above
   so that it will add in the right characters to display the code the right way.
   Without using that your code can very easily be broken.
 * The H1 tag isn’t in that file. Where you’ll find it is part of this line:
 * `<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>`
 * That’s telling the file to include another template file called `content-page.
   php`. As a fallback if that’s not there it will use `content.php`. Check out 
   the [Template Hierarchy](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/)
   for more info.

 * Ok, sorry im kinda new to this, do i put the code you gave me after that line
   or do i replace that line?

 * No…
 * You open the file `content-page.php` and find the H1 tag in there. Then you’ll
   be able to replace what’s in it in that file.

 * Hello, i just ran into another problem. The badge is not displayed in the site-
   wide activity. It shows the shortcode. Is there a fix for this.

 * There woudl be. You’ll have to update the code in the same way (but most likely
   without the H1 tags) in which ever template file has that part of the code in
   it.

 * I couldn’t say. It could be part of the theme or a plugin, but I’d say it’s the
   theme. What theme are you using?

 * There’s no shortcodes anywhere in that file.
 * Is the shortcode for that provided by the theme or by a different plugin?
 * The reason for asking that is that you should really ask the question in the 
   support forum for the theme (if it’s provided by the theme) or the plugin (if
   it’s provided by the plugin).
 * I couldn’t see anywhere on the themes page where it says about shortcodes like
   this so I’d guess that it’s controlled by a plugin.
