    Hello! I’m trying to add some shortcodes in the dropdown (template part) but they are not converted.
    Are the shortcodes disabled? Or am I missing something?

    Thank you!

    Hi there, shortcodes are not disabled. I’m not sure what kind you are adding, but I can’t guarantee that all shortcodes work here because this is the site editor and most things are done without shortcodes now. I would try to find a block-based solution to make sure it is compatible.

    Hi Mike,
    I tried even with a basic custom shortcode that outputs the current year (something like [current_year]). I tested using the shortcode block and HTML block, and they output the literal shortcode as plain text.
    As another test, I edited the render.php of the plugin to run block_template_part through do_shortcode and it works. Since this is obviously against best practice, I don’t want to rely on this, and I’m wondering if there’s anything I’m doing wrong.

    Hi @xirallic shortcodes are now supported in Menu Designer. This will be available in the next update.
