The issue I am having is that I have to use shortcodes to display dynamic content on our events and when this is output through the ld+json Schema Data it outputs the Shortcode instead of executing and then displaying.
Is there a workaround that I can use to make this work. Is there a hook or snippet of code that I can use to make it execute the shortcode before outputting the description.
Thanks again,

Hi,
There is a filter hook:
FHEE__EEH_Schema__add_json_linked_data_for_event__template_args
here’s a link to its source on GitHub for your reference:

Sorry I am still a bit of a beginner when it comes to this. Can you provide an example of using this to modify the description.
Thanks again for the awesome support.

Hi,
At a minimum you’re looking to replace this:
$template_args['event_description'] = wp_strip_all_tags($event->short_description(200));
with something like this:
$template_args['event_description'] = wp_strip_all_tags($event->description_filtered());
So your code will look like this:
add_filter(
'FHEE__EEH_Schema__add_json_linked_data_for_event__template_args',
'my_custom_json_linked_data_function',
10,
3
);
function my_custom_json_linked_data_function(
$template_args,
$event,
$VNU_ID
) {
$template_args['event_description'] = wp_strip_all_tags(
$event->description_filtered()
);
return $template_args;
}
You can add the above to a functions plugin or, if available, into your WordPress child theme’s functions.php file.
Since I do not know what your shortcode outputs, there’s a possibility that something output by the shortcode should not be included within ld+json markup. It’d be good to check using the structured data testing tool.

Please also note that Google only shows a snippet of the full description.
