Is There A Way To Enable Shortcodes Within An Edge Animation?

    So far, it does not seem to be working for me. I have “Enable Shortcodes In Widgets” turned on within Edge Suite. I would like to embed a form in my Edge Animate composition. The form is created with another WordPress plugin which outputs a shortcode to include where you want the form to appear. I can place the shortcode in a plain text widget and it works fine, but if I put the shortcode in an Edge Animate composition, which is itself driven by a shortcode in a text widget, it doesn’t load the form. Is there any possibility of making something like this work?

    Hi,
    that won’t really work, as shortcodes are parsed by php and your edge animate code is being loaded dynamically after wordpress has rendered everything. So wordpress knows nothing about the actual content of your animation, and it doesn’t have to.

    A simple way to maybe pull a wp form into edge animate is by using the shortcode for the form alongside the animation, but setting it to display none. You can then in your edge animate code pull in the form through JS, so basically move it in the DOM and the show it.
