Hey, thanks for the quick response,
I have added both the PODS_SHORTCODE_ALLOW_SUB_SHORTCODES and the add_filter already… I try the shortcodes=1 but it doesn’t seems to make a difference.
I just try the shortcode in another template(for a ‘custom post type’) and it works there.
The ‘problematic’ template is for an author’s page (User (extended) and set Automatic Pod Templates for this Pod).
Is this the wrong way to use this plugin?
BTW this plugin is amazing!
Hi @panosstavrianos
Sorry for my late reply!
I tested running a shortcode for authors and came to the conclusion that Pods doesn’t handle shortcodes for auto-templates at all by default.
It all depends on the hook you’ve chosen and whether this hook also runs shortcodes or not.
So, for posts the default hook is the_content or the_exerpt which both run shortcodes by default.
However, for author hooks the shortcodes aren’t run by default and thus the mentioned solution will not work.
This also means that our documentation isn’t 100% correct.
If you need shortcodes you need to add the do_shortcode callback to the hook you’ve chosen. Example, if you used the default get_the_author_description hook you’ll need to add the following:
add_filter( 'get_the_author_description', 'do_shortcode' );

Hi @panosstavrianos
I’ve added the above to the documentation. Thank you for letting us know about this!
