    I want to output the claim button with [gd_post_claim] in a text widget. But instead of the button the shortcode will be output.

    As a widget the claim button is displayed correctly.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Example: https://gruenes-muensterland.de/anbieter/germany/nordrhein-westfalen/muenster/vereine-organisationen/gruener-weiler-eg/

    Thanks!

    Text and HTML widgets both do not support shortcodes. You can try this if you want to change that:

    Hi Alex,

    thank you for your answer. What irritates me is that I already use shortcodes from WPGeodirectory in the text widget. For example [gd_post_meta title=” id=” key=’logo’ ] and others. Is this something different for [gd_post_claim]?

    Thanks!

    It is a WP thing, and that is the only way to change it that I know of.

    Hi Alex,

    yes, you’re right. But something else is wrong here. I have included the shortcode in the text widget and even added an additional add_filter( ‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’ ); in the functions.php.
    What surprises me is that the other shortcodes of geodirectory work, only gd_post_claim does not. So it can’t be the widget, right?

    The shortcode was incorrect

    

    
[gd_claim_post text="Claim Listing" output="button"]

    Hi Alex,
    

    Oops!  I’m sorry for the trouble. So it would have worked from the beginning, if the syntax had been correct.
    
Thank you very much for helping me. Now it works 🙂
