Custom tags in textarea not working

Hi,

That is not a GeoDirectory limitation unfortunately. It is WordPress that doesn’t execute shortcodes in custom fileds. There would be a workaround, but there are actually easier solution without using custom fields at all.

Where do you have to add that shortcode and is it the same shortcode for all listings?

Because in that case it would be easier to use the do_shortcode() function to add it using a hook via functions.php file.

If you give us more detail we will give you more info.

Thx

This is how I would do it.

1) Avoid using GD custom field and use regular WordPress custom fields.

Example add the shortcode in the backend in a custom field named htl_calendar only to the listings that need the calendar.

2) Once we have the shortocode saved for each listing we will use this php snippet to echo the calendar where you need it using a hook:

echo do_shortcode(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'htl_calendar', true));

Let us know where you wanted it and I’ll try to provide the complete code.

Thx
