Hi Henrik,

Do you have some sample screenshots of this issue? I do know that shortcodes are not run through the calendar but this isn’t something that we have recently seen.

I’ve run some testing and html tags like strong and emphasis do work:

You can upload the screenshots for to a free service like Getcloudapp.com or tinygrab.com and then link to them here.

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve sent a question to the development team about this as there is an open feature request. I’ll update this support post once I have more information. This usually takes a day or two for review.

Hi Henrik,

Regarding this:

We use the shortcode from the custom ee upcoming event widget to list event dates on the event page (not on the tooltip). We also use a column shortcode to position the list to the right. Now we have to figure out how we could list event dates without the possibility to use the widget shortcode. Do you by any chance have any suggestions to that problem?

This seems like a tedious way to add a list of dates. Instead of adding a shortcode to each event description, you could use a template tag and add it to the single event template.

There is even a setting in the EE4 Template settings where you can enable/disable displaying the dates for an event.

If you prefer to make columns using shortcodes, there are a few plugins that work well for this:

WP Canvas – Shortcodes

Grid Columns

I’ve tested a few of the WP Canvas – Shortcodes in the EE4 calendar tooltip and they parse as expected. What you may be seeing with the new site is the theme’s shortcodes are parsed too late, so they show up as text in the new calendar. Using the shortcode plugin will be a way to work around the issue.
