AJAX Results Formatting

Anonymous

#20790

I am using a shortcode to display the Filters/Results.

I have also created my own results.php in my theme folder to use <?php the_content(); ?> instead of <?php the_excerpt(); ?>.

Whenever the results are updated using AJAX, the content is replaced with excerpt.

I’m not sure what to try next…

Thanks,
Mike

I added a plugin to allow HTML tags in the excerpt (which fixed the formatting issue), but the before/after slider ‘shortcode’ still gets stripped out on AJAX load.

I added this to functions.php:
//Enable Shortcodes in WordPress Excerpts and Text Widgets.
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);
add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘do_shortcode’);

But the shortcode would still not appear.

Hi Mike

I think you’ve stumbled across a bug which I’m looking into – basically shortcodes don’t work so well when being run from admin-ajax.php (which is what the shortcode method does).

I haven’t tried this yet but take a look here:

I think you may need the echo apply_filters('the_content', $content); 🙂

Thanks
